Liposuction Liposculpture

Liposuction, often referred by people as “lipo”,  is  a surgical procedure to  eliminate excess localized fat on certain parts of the body (love handles, tummy). In addition, lipofilling (or liposculpture – grafting liposuctioned fat) can be used to remodel your silhouette and increase the projection of some areas (buttocks, breasts, cheekbones, calves, etc.) or fill in certain wrinkles. Liposuction is often combined with other types of procedures as abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) or breast surgery.

Liposuction liposculpture is not a weight loss solution and not an anti-cellulite treatment.

LIPOSUCTION LIPOSCULPTURE | QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

  • Can a liposuction remove orange-peel skin?
    Although this is not the main aim, removing fat from a body part can smooth out an orange-peel effect. The intervention to reliably remove an orange-peel effect involves sectioning fibrous attachments connecting the deep plane to the skin (using an extremely sharp cannula under general anaesthetic in an operating theatre, or a Cellfina® device under local anaesthetic at your doctor’s surgery).
  • Is liposuction painful?
    Liposuction is most often done under general anaesthetic and causes aches, which are relieved by type 1 analgesics (Paracetamol®).
