La liposuction or liposuction makes it possible to eliminate localized fat overloads.
It is generally carried out in order to:
→ Reduce horse panties
→ Losing belly and/or hips
→ Refine legs, knees, thighs, ankles, arms
The surgeon makes small incisions of a few millimeters to allow the passage of a Cannula of suction in the hypodermis. Depending on the area to be treated, it is necessary to make 1 to 5 incisions to aspirate the deep fat evenly.
The quantity of fat sucked should not exceed 5% of body weight.
Recent progress, in particular in the field of superficial liposuction, thanks to the use of very fine cannulas means that the skin overlying the treated area no longer has to suffer from liposuction: on the contrary, the appearance of the skin can be improved by the cutaneous retraction generated by a properly performed superficial liposuction.

Either local, locoregional or general, depending on the extent of liposuction and the number of areas to be treated...
45 minutes to 2 hours.
On an outpatient basis. A short hospital stay (one night) is sometimes necessary.
2 to 3 scars per treated area measuring a few millimeters (just enough to let the suction cannula pass). They are therefore almost undetectable after 12 months, especially since they are hidden at the level of natural anatomical folds.
Edemas and bruises appear in the treated areas. The pain is generally mild, but may be more severe and require pain medication. The patient should wear elastic restraint for approximately 4 weeks.
5 to 15 days of interruption of socio-professional activities may be necessary.

As soon as the edema has resorbed and the bruises have subsided, the result is visible. But you have to wait 6 months to appreciate the final result of liposuction.
The result obtained is sustainable. The deep fat removed results in a Refinement meaningful treated areas. However, the weight must be stable to maintain the benefit of the intervention.

See moreScars are minimal and wear off over time. They measure less than 1 cm and are located in easily hidden areas.
Depending on the number of areas to be treated, there are different types of anesthesia: local, local with sedation, block anesthesia (epidural or spinal) or general anesthesia. The best option will be chosen depending on the patient and the areas to be treated.
The duration of the procedure depends largely on the size of the areas to be treated, as well as on the amount of fat to be removed. It can vary from 30 minutes to 3 or 4 hours.
Depending on the extent of the operation, the patient may leave during the day or stay in the clinic overnight.
The best results are obtained when the fat is localized and the skin is not stretched and still has good elasticity. Liposuction thus reduces localized fat volumes and improves the body's silhouette.

Depending on the size of the area to be treated, the patient may experience mild to moderate pain in the first two days after surgery. However, the pain is generally bearable and can be easily controlled with the help of common pain relievers.
As with all procedures, there are risks and complications can occur (bleeding, infection, disunity, scarring hazards, etc.). These are infrequent and can be taken care of quickly by the surgeon during post-operative checks. An information sheet from the French Society of Plastic Surgery will be given to you before the procedure.
My approach is initially to listen to patients in order to determine if their expectations are realistic and achievable and if the risk-benefit ratio is in favor of an intervention.
