Liposuction liposuction, also known as liposuction, aims to reduce the patient's fat deposits. It is thus possible to reduce the volume of several parts of the body by directly suctioning fat cells from these areas.
Liposuction – Liposuction, the procedure:
The liposuction, or liposuction consists of removing fat cells using a microcannula inserted through a small incision. A syringe or pump is then used to suction out the fat cells from the areas of the body.
Before the procedure, a preoperative consultation with the plastic surgeon allows the patient's expectations and needs to be defined.
The cosmetic surgeons at the Clinique Esthétique Phénicia in Marseille use an innovative technique involving vibrating suction cannulas (MicroAire) during liposuction procedures. liposuction. These cannulas loosen, aspirate, and then remove excess fatty tissue. These finer cannulas allow for more precise results, leaving the skin smooth and free of the "wavy effect."
Liposuction – Liposuction, postoperative effects:
During liposuction , the surgeon takes the necessary precautions to limit pain, which subsides within 3 to 8 days, and bruising, which disappears completely within 15 days to 3 weeks.
Wearing an elastic compression garment limits swelling, bruising, and ecchymosis by helping the skin to retract.
Wearing anti-thrombosis stockings provides compression for the calves and is strongly recommended during the first few days after surgery. Manual post-operative lymphatic drainage may be recommended to ensure uniform and consistent retraction of fatty tissue and skin.
