Liposuction – When Diet & Exercise Aren't Enough

Specialist during liposuction

Sometimes even discipline, diets, and exercise don’t help – certain fat deposits on the abdomen, waist, hips, or chin persist despite all efforts. This can be perceived as bothersome and affect personal well-being.

Liposuction at BONITAS can help in such cases to specifically optimize body contours. A specialist relies on precise, tissue-sparing techniques – for an aesthetically harmonious result without an artificial effect.

I am so endlessly grateful that I decided on this clinic. My liposuction on the shins and on the abdomen with additional plasma tightening was a great success. I can hardly find the right words to thank the entire Bonitas team, but especially of course Alejandro Marti , Two years earlier I had already had a liposuction on the thighs done at another clinic. Both the doctor's care before and afterwards and the operation were absolutely unsatisfactory and involved severe, long lasting pain and restricted movement. That is why my fears about deciding on another liposuction were correspondingly high. Even the first visit for the consultation with Mr. Marti (wonderful explanation, professionally and personally interested in the story behind the ordeal with the lipedema) at the Bonitasklinik was so positive that I decided to overcome my fears and give Mr. Marti my trust. I was not disappointed! The liposuction was carried out so gently and carefully that already when I woke up in the clinic I noticed that my pain was nowhere near the same as with the first operation. Now it has already been almost 6 weeks since the liposuction and I am so proud of the result and of how the healing has gone! A huge thank you for letting me overwrite my negative experiences with the first liposuction in such a positive way! I thank Alejandro Marti and his lovely assistant for the wonderful support and humanity, for the friendly and humorous manner and for giving me courage again to look forward to the coming operation with joy. This clinic is in every respect only to be recommended for lipedema patients! You cannot have a better doctor at your side. Thank you so much!!!!!!

I have lipedema in my legs and arms and right now, after 3 operations, I am still in treatment, 2 operations are still to come. On top of that I have an underlying condition that is not entirely unproblematic. Dr Marti has adjusted to that 100 percent, has tailored the whole treatment concept to it and sees me as a patient in a very holistic way. Because of his calm, level-headed manner I trust this doctor blindly. At the beginning there were so many questions, so many uncertainties. But by now I simply let go. Because I know Dr Marti does it perfectly. He looks after me and keeps an eye on everything. Jasmin is also always there and approachable. When you meet her at the practice, the sun comes out. She is an absolute gem. Together as a team, she and Dr Marti are a perfect unit and you simply feel it. I can recommend this practice 100 percent to all lipedema patients. And even though my operations are not finished at all yet, I already notice a clear improvement of the symptoms now. I am eternally grateful to Dr Marti for taking me by the hand on this path. And Jasmin takes the other one 🙂 What more could you want.

Dr.Martí is an outstanding surgeon, especially for lipedema patients. On December 22, 2025 he performed a tummy tuck and liposuction on me, I am completely satisfied with the result. Even before the operation Dr. Martí took a lot of time, listened attentively and seriously addressed my fears. That way I felt well informed and safe at all times. The stay at the clinic was also very pleasant. The night was quiet, and the care from the nursing staff was attentive and professional. I would also like to give special mention to the assistant Jasmin. You feel very well looked after with her. She is friendly, competent and always there for questions, also by phone. All in all a very positive experience with a well organized and empathetic team. Thank you for everything! 🙏💖

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction – colloquially known as “fat removal” – is a procedure in which excess, diet-resistant fat cells are permanently removed. The method is not for weight reduction, but for modeling and harmonizing the body silhouette.

The result: finely defined contours, a slimmer appearance – and a new sense of body confidence.

Liposuction – Your Path to a Harmonious Silhouette

At BONITAS practice, you have a specialist by your side in our plastic surgeon who combines aesthetic medicine with surgical excellence. Each liposuction is individually planned, tailored to your physique, and performed with the commitment to naturalness and quality that distinguishes BONITAS.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): Liposuction Germany

How much Does Liposuction Cost?

The cost of liposuction varies depending on the region, scope, and technique. What is crucial is not the price alone, but the quality: Experienced specialists, modern procedures (e.g., vibration-assisted liposuction), hygienic surgical standards, and individual aftercare make the difference. At BONITAS, pricing is determined transparently after examination – budget providers often cut corners on safety and precision, which can be risky in the long term.

Is it Possible to Suction 10 Kg of Fat?

At BONITAS, we deliberately refrain from suctioning 10 kg of fat in a single session. A safe range is 3–5 liters (approx. 2.5–4 kg) per treatment. Therefore, for liposuction, we prefer to plan more extensive regions gradually – better for your body and your well-being.

How Long Does Liposuction Last?

The results of liposuction are permanent, as the removed fat cells do not regenerate. However, remaining fat cells can enlarge again with significant weight gain. A healthy lifestyle with exercise and a balanced diet helps to maintain the result long-term – aesthetically as well as functionally.

How many Kg are 2 Liters of Fat?

Fat has a lower density than water – 1 liter of fat weighs approximately 0.9 kg. Two liters therefore correspond to about 1.8 kg of pure fat tissue. However, the visible effect after liposuction does not depend solely on weight, but primarily on body shaping and contour improvement.

How many Kg Does one Lose after Liposuction?

Weight loss from liposuction is usually 1–3 kg – depending on the volume suctioned. Important to know: Liposuction is not a substitute for weight reduction, but a procedure for targeted body contouring. However, the aesthetic effect can significantly exceed the actual weight reduction – e.g., through a flatter abdomen, clearer contours, and improved skin appearance.

Is Abdominal Liposuction Advisable?

Yes – liposuction on the abdomen is particularly advisable for stubborn fat deposits that persist despite diet and exercise. Especially after pregnancy or significant weight loss, the procedure can re-contour the midsection. With good skin elasticity, additional tightening is often not necessary – with excess skin, a combined thermal skin tightening may be advisable.
