Liposuction is applied to a large number of areas of the body. For example “saddlebags”, hips, abdomen, thighs, knees, calves, ankles, arms, face and neck (double chin, oval of the face).

To do this, a blunt cannula is introduced under the skin, from 4 mm incisions. This cannula is perforated at its distal end and connected to a closed circuit. Then, negative pressure is induced in the circuit. Thus, the excess fat cells are sucked in a harmonious and non-traumatic manner.

What is Cellulite?

Cellulite is the uneven and unsightly appearance of the skin that usually appears with age. Its main causes are thinning of the skin and increased fatty deposits. First, the fibrous spans between the fatty lobules have connections to the skin. Second, the increase in fatty deposits induces a distension of the spans. Thus, the irregular hollow and bumpy appearance of the skin appears. In addition, thinning of the dermis aggravates this phenomenon. finally, its fibrous bands are mainly present in the buttocks and thighs.

Unfortunately, cellulite remains difficult to treat. This is because liposuction decreases fatty deposits, but has no effect on thinning the dermis. However, one can improve results with lymphatic drainage. In case of excess skin, a buttocks or thigh lift may be considered. In any case, it is useful to combine these treatments with dietary hygiene and regular physical exercise. Finally, other treatments such as endermology or mesotherapy have not proven their effectiveness over time and only temporarily improve the appearance of the skin.
