Frequently asked questions about liposuction

Liposuction is performed under local or general anesthesia depending on the number and volume of the areas to be treated. The surgeon uses a cannula to remove the excess fat by suction. After the procedure, a support garment is put in place.

Liposuction is performed exclusively in the operating room. You can contact us for more information.

Liposuction can be paid in one or more installments without charge by cash, bank transfer or credit card. To learn more about our rates, please visit our dedicated page.

It is important to stabilize one's weight before any liposuction and to avoid excess weight in the days preceding the procedure. Finally, taking aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs is formally contraindicated in the 10 days preceding the procedure.

It is important to rest in the days following the operation. However, it is advisable to resume walking as soon as possible to avoid thromboembolic complications such as phlebitis. Finally, to improve skin retraction and reduce post-operative oedema, palpate-roll or lymphatic drainage sessions may be necessary.

Showers are allowed from the day after the operation. It is sometimes preferable to wash with your panty the first two days when the risk of edema is important. The use of mild, superfatted soaps is recommended. Finally, baths are allowed from 1 month onwards.

After liposuction, swelling and bruising are quite common. Healing and sensitivity problems may also occur, but tend to resolve spontaneously. Thromboembolic disorders such as phlebitis and pulmonary embolism are rare but serious complications that can be prevented by taking anticoagulants, wearing compression stockings and quickly resuming walking.
Anemia may occur after the operation, requiring iron supplementation. Rare cases of infection have been reported, requiring antibiotics. Finally, deep organ lesions are exceptional.

Liposuction is a fast, effective method for treating localized or diffuse excess fat.
It helps to reshape the figure.

Liposuction of the chin is usually performed under local anaesthetic. A 0.5cm incision under the chin and behind the ears is used to infiltrate the area to be treated, then to insert the cannula and suction out the fat. The incision is then closed with a single stitch, which is removed after a week.
It is advisable to place ice packs on the treated area in the following days to prevent the appearance of oedema.

This procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia. The patient is positioned on his/her stomach. Two 0.5 cm incisions are made on the hips or lower back, in the area hidden by the panties. These are used to infiltrate the area to be treated, then to insert the cannula and aspirate the fat. The incision is then closed with a single stitch. Once the procedure is complete, a compression garment is put in place and the patient is awakened.

This limits post-operative swelling and allows the skin to reattach in the right position. The panty also has an analgesic (pain-relieving) role, as it limits painful edema.

Several areas can be treated by liposuction in isolation or in combination:

In the immediate aftermath of liposuction, an edema appears, which will gradually disappear. The skin will then begin to retract. At one month post-op, this retraction is already noticeable, and will continue for 6 months to a year, improving the result. Beware, however, of poor-quality and/or mature skin whose retraction capacity is often insufficient.

A healthy lifestyle is recommended. A balanced diet is necessary but a low-calorie diet is not necessary. Regular practice of sports is recommended.

Liposuction is a technique that allows a mechanical removal of excess fat by suction. It takes place in the operating room under local or general anesthesia. It is a very effective technique with the advantage of being able to treat small or large surfaces. Cryolipolysis is a technique for destroying fat by subjecting adipocytes (fat cells) to a negative temperature of about -8°C. The treated cells go into cell death and are naturally eliminated by the body in an average of 3 months. This is intended for small localized fatty clusters. This technique is performed in the office.

A distinction is made between liposuction under local anaesthetic, formerly known as gentle liposuction, and conventional liposuction under general anaesthetic. Depending on the number of areas to be treated and the amount of fat to be removed, one or the other technique is preferred.
The size of the suction cannula may also differ from one procedure to another. The larger the cannula, the greater the quantity of fat that can be removed per pass, but the less consistent the results. In principle, fine cannulas should always be used to avoid the "wave effect" on the skin. The size of the suction cannula can also vary from one procedure to another. The larger the cannula, the greater the quantity of fat that can be removed per pass, but the less regular the result. In principle, fine cannulas should always be used, to avoid a "wave effect" on the skin.

To refine a thigh, circular liposuction is generally required, covering the outer thigh or saddlebags, the inner thigh, the anterior thigh and the posterior thigh with the sub-hip area. To perfect the result, liposuction of the inside of the knee is sometimes recommended.
