\u00a0LIPOSUCTION\u00a0<\/b><\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Liposuction makes it possible to eliminate such localized fat deposits, which are resistant to a well-conducted diet and regular sports.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

What are the objectives ?<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>
\n

Liposuction, contrary to certain preconceived ideas, is not a method of slimming, nor of course a treatment for obesity.<\/p>\n

One cannot lose weight significantly with even a major liposuction.<\/p>\n

The principle of liposuction is to achieve a non-traumatic and harmonious aspiration of fat cells called “adipocytes”.\u00a0Non-traumatic cannulas for the tissues are introduced from very small skin incisions, perfectly hidden.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Which areas of the body are suitable for liposuction ? <\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>
\n

This technique of cosmetic surgery can be proposed to improve the silhouette by acting on :<\/p>\n

    \n
  • the “saddlebags” or “peritrochanterian” area.<\/em><\/li>\n
  • hips<\/em><\/li>\n
  • the abdomen<\/em><\/li>\n
  • the thighs<\/em><\/li>\n
  • the knees (especially the inner side)<\/em><\/li>\n
  • calves<\/em><\/li>\n
  • the ankles<\/em><\/li>\n
  • arms<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Thanks to the use of fine cannulas, liposuction is also applicable on the face to improve the oval and on the neck to correct a double chin.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Where are the scars ? <\/h2><\/div>
    <\/div>
    \n

    The incisions made during a liposuction are reduced to a minimum, from 3 to 6 mm.<\/p>\n

    The scars are very discreet, as they are hidden in a natural fold, and most often hidden by underwear.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

    What are the after-effects ?<\/h2><\/div>
    <\/div>
    \n

    Post-operative bruising and swelling for 2 to 4 weeks.\u00a0Pain varies from patient to patient, depending on the amount of liposuction.<\/p>\n

    Sports activities can be resumed after 3 weeks.\u00a0An elastic support garment such as a “girdle” will be worn for 3 to 6 weeks.<\/p>\n

    IMPORTANT <\/strong><\/p>\n

    The results will only be visible after the oedema has been resorbed, i.e. after 3 weeks, and definitive after 6 months. The skin will slowly retract and adapt to your new silhouette after 3 months.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

    <\/div><\/div>

    In cases where liposuction alone is not enough, and when there is significant distension of the skin<\/strong> with stretch marks, it will require an intervention of “abdominoplasty” or “abdominal dermalipectomy” to obtain a flat stomach.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
