Liposuction
What Liposuction can do…
The principle of liposuction is to remove fat through very small skin incisions, with atraumatic and blunt-tipped cannulas. It can radically and definitively diminish localized areas of protruding fat, which cannot be eliminated even with strict diet and exercise.
Liposuction can be applied to numerous body areas: hips, outer thighs, abdomen, knees, calves, ankles, upper arms, or even the face and neck (i.e, to treat double chin).
What Liposuction can’t do…
However, liposuction is not a method for losing or controlling weight, neither a treatment for obesity. Thus, a properly performed liposuction will not replace an improvement in lifestyle.
Meanwhile, it must be kept in mind that liposuction, however common a procedure it may be, remains a genuine surgical intervention that ought to be performed by a skilled Plastic Surgeon, specially trained for this technique, in a truly surgical environment.
The results
After surgery, swelling and bruising are observed in the treated areas. Pain is usually mild, due to the use of very thin cannulas.
Patients can go back to their usual activity 4 to 7 days after surgery depending on the extent of the liposuction and the type of professional activity. Bruising usually disappears 10 to 20 days after surgery. It is strongly recommended to wear a compressive garment for 4 to 6 weeks.
There is no dramatic improvement of body contour in the first 2 to 3 weeks, because of the tissue swelling (edema) in the operated areas. The skin will retract completely in 3 to 6 months over the new contours and readapt to the new silhouette.
The final result can be best appreciated 6 months after the procedure.
My Way
I use the Waterjet-assisted Liposuction (WAL) for optimal aesthetic results and autologous lipotransfer (Liposculpting).
I use WAL in all body areas – chin, abdomen, thighs, knees hips, arms – and combine it with autologous fat transfer for buttocks and breast augmentation, as well as for the volume and rejuvenation of the face and hands.
The final result is far better and more long-lasting compared to traditional liposuction.
