LIPOSUCTION

You may ask yourself if it is possible to change the shape of your body, in case too much fat is bothering you.

This is what lipsuction is for The results are specatucular, even more so if realized on patients with elastic skin texture which will shrink back once fat has been removed. There will be no effect on cellulitis though and it won’t change the skins texture. Irregulatities present before the surgery will stay.

Most of the time fat will be located on following parts of the body: hips, waist, belly, thighs, knees, buttocks, chin and neck.

Liposuction can be applied isolated or associated to other surgeries (abdominoplasty, lifting).

Important: The removed fat won’t come back.

During the consultation, the degree of the elasticity of your skin, which varies according to age and body areas, will be tested.

INTERVENTION

It works by removing the excess of fat by liposuction with a cannula through very small incisions (less than 1 cm). Those are usually hidden in a natural skin fold.

This surgery’s big advantage is that it will leave only small scars which will mitigate or even dissapear over time.

The surgery can be done under local anesthesia (light liposuction on a small, well defined area) or otherwise general anesthesia (several treatment areas, more important liposuction) In this case one night of hospitalization is necessary.A panthy, which will have the role of a compression will be draped at the end of the surgery, to lessen the postoperativ oedem.
