Liposuction: is it the right solution to reshape my silhouette?

The main benefit of liposuction is the general harmonization of the silhouette.

It happens, after weight loss, that some fat deposits located in the hips, buttocks, stomach or thighs persist. Liposuction is the ultimate technique to get rid of this deep and resistant fat.

What is important to understand is that this method of cosmetic surgery aiming at restoring this general harmony to the body is not a slimming technique.

Liposuction is done after weight loss and therefore comes as a complement to a slimming diet.

In order to get the best benefits, and to have long-lasting results, the weight must be stabilized before the operation.

There are 2 types of liposuction depending on the number of areas to be treated and the volume of fat mass to be removed. Gentle liposuction, performed under local anesthesia treats small areas such as the double chin.

Conventional liposuction performed under general anesthesia can treat several areas for a complete harmony of the silhouette. Small incisions are made to introduce cannulas that will suck out the fat.

Fine cannulas are often preferred to obtain a smooth and regular result.
