MicroAire liposuction is now available at Gijos Klinikos

Some areas of fat can remain resistant to diet, exercise and a stable lifestyle. Even when your weight is stable, localised fat deposits may still affect the body’s proportions — most commonly around the abdomen, waist, thighs, arms, back, hips or under the chin. Gijos Klinikos has introduced MicroAire PAL — a modern power-assisted liposuction system used for precise body contouring. Through Wellness Travels by Gijos Klinikos, this treatment is now available to international patients looking for medically guided plastic surgery in Lithuania. Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure. It is a surgical body-contouring treatment designed to remove localised fat deposits and refine selected areas of the body.

What is liposuction?

Liposuction, also known as fat removal surgery, is a plastic surgery procedure that removes unwanted fat from specific areas of the body through small incisions. During the procedure, a thin surgical tube called a cannula is inserted beneath the skin. Fat is loosened and removed using suction, helping to create a more balanced body shape.

Liposuction may be suitable for areas such as:

• abdomen;
• waist and flanks;
• thighs;
• hips;
• arms;
• back;
• chin and neck area;
• other localised fat deposits.

The exact treatment plan depends on the patient’s anatomy, skin quality, fat distribution, medical history and expected result.

What makes MicroAire liposuction different?

MicroAire PAL is a power-assisted liposuction system. Unlike traditional manual liposuction, where the surgeon moves the cannula by hand, MicroAire uses a controlled mechanical motion to support fat removal. This allows the surgeon to work with greater control and precision, especially in areas where fat tissue may be denser or more fibrous. According to MicroAire, its PAL system is designed for fat extraction, body contouring and fat harvesting, with the technology developed to improve efficiency and reduce surgeon fatigue during liposuction procedures. At Gijos Klinikos, MicroAire PAL is used as part of the clinic’s plastic and reconstructive surgery services. Gijos Klinikos also describes the system as a modern fat-removal technology that may help reduce tissue trauma during liposuction and support improved body-contouring results. For patients, this does not mean that recovery is instant or that results are guaranteed. However, it does mean that the procedure is performed using a modern, controlled surgical system designed specifically for body contouring.

Bringing Advanced Liposuction Technology to International Patients

For international patients, this is particularly relevant because it combines:

• a modern surgical technology;
• experienced plastic and reconstructive surgery specialists;
• EU-regulated healthcare standards;
• coordinated patient support through Wellness Travels by Gijos Klinikos;
• treatment planning in Lithuania with clear pre-operative and post-operative guidance.

The goal is not only to provide access to surgery, but to create a safe and structured medical journey — from initial enquiry to consultation, operation, recovery planning and follow-up.

Who may be suitable for MicroAire liposuction?

MicroAire liposuction may be considered for patients who have localised fat deposits that do not respond well to lifestyle changes.

A suitable candidate is usually someone who:

• is close to a stable body weight;
• has specific areas of fat they would like to refine;
• has realistic expectations;
• understands that liposuction is not a treatment for obesity;
• is in suitable general health for surgery;
• has adequate skin elasticity in the treatment area.

Liposuction may not be the right option if there is significant skin excess, unstable weight, certain medical conditions or unrealistic expectations. In such cases, another procedure — for example, abdominoplasty or a combined body-contouring approach — may be more appropriate.

The decision is always made after medical evaluation by a plastic and reconstructive surgery specialist.

How the procedure is performed

At Gijos Klinikos, liposuction is performed by experienced plastic and reconstructive surgery specialists. The procedure is planned individually, based on the areas being treated and the desired body-contouring outcome. The operation is usually performed under general anaesthesia. Small incisions, approximately 0.5 cm, are made in selected areas so that the cannula can be inserted. The MicroAire PAL system then assists the surgeon in removing fat with controlled mechanical movement. The procedure usually takes around 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the number of treated areas and the complexity of the case. After surgery, patients are monitored by the medical team and receive individual instructions for recovery.

What results can you expect?

Liposuction can help improve the contour of selected body areas by reducing localised fat deposits. The result should look natural and proportionate to the patient’s body shape. It is important to understand that the final result is not visible immediately. Swelling and bruising are expected after surgery, and the body needs time to heal. Initial changes may be visible relatively soon, but the final contour usually becomes clearer gradually as swelling decreases. This process can take several weeks or months. The best results are usually seen in patients who maintain a stable weight and follow post-operative instructions carefully.

Recovery after liposuction

Recovery varies depending on the treated areas, the amount of fat removed and the individual healing process.

After liposuction, patients may experience:

• swelling;
• bruising;
• tenderness;
• temporary discomfort;
• changes in skin sensitivity;
• tightness in the treated area.

A compression garment is usually recommended after surgery. It helps support the healing tissues, reduce swelling and assist the body-contouring process. Most patients can gradually return to light daily activities after the initial recovery period, but exercise, lifting and more intense physical activity should only be resumed once approved by the surgeon. International patients should also plan enough time in Lithuania for the early post-operative stage and medical check-ups before travelling home. This why we are here for you.

Safety and possible risks

Liposuction is a surgical procedure and, like any surgery, it carries risks. Possible risks may include bleeding, infection, fluid accumulation, contour irregularities, asymmetry, changes in sensation, scarring, delayed healing or complications related to anaesthesia. This is why proper patient selection, surgical planning and post-operative care are essential. At Wellness Travels by Gijos Klinikos, patients receive medical assessment before treatment, clear information about the procedure and guidance throughout the treatment journey. The aim is to ensure that each patient understands not only the potential benefits, but also the limitations, recovery process and possible risks.
