Liposuction of the silhouette in Cosmetic Surgery in Paris

Liposuction is a surgical technique developed in the 1970s by a French surgeon. Liposuction involves suctioning out excess fatty tissue to help you slim down easily and refine your contours. This surgical procedure to refine and reshape the silhouette is performed in the operating room, usually on an outpatient basis, under general or local anesthesia.

This solution is only recommended for patients whose weight has stabilized, without obesity.

There are two main techniques:

• gentle liposuction, performed under local anaesthetic on small volumes;
• cannula liposuction, which uses micro-incisions. The cannula can be used to remove large volumes, up to several liters, without damaging the tissues.

Successful liposuction requires an even, homogeneous gesture, to avoid creating depressions in the skin with wave-like areas.

While tummy tuck liposuction is aimed primarily at men with a pot belly, HD liposculpture (High Definition liposuction) is aimed more at men who want to work on their six-pack abs.

Using a very fine cannula equipped with an oscillating tip, Dr. Santini will perform precision liposuction to target certain areas around and above the muscles even more precisely. She will bring out the muscular contours of the "chocolate bars", giving the tummy a muscular, athletic appearance.

This Abdominal Etching with high-definition liposculpture and Vaser liposuction eliminates fat that is resistant to diet and exercise, enhancing and sublimating the muscle-building work done elsewhere. This high-definition abdominal liposuction technique is particularly indicated for subjects who wish to see well-defined abdominal contours, but are dissatisfied with the results despite their gym work, because their abdominal muscles remain partly covered with fat that is resistant to exercise.

The Vaser lipo technique requires appropriate liposuction equipment and a perfect understanding of the male abdominal muscular anatomy.

Neck liposuction is almost always performed as part of a facelift. It helps to rejuvenate the features and slim the chin.

Facial liposuction can also be performed alone in the case of a double chin, to eliminate excess fat in this area that weighs down the oval of the face.

The double chin liposuction is performed using a fine cannula, so the scar is minimal and unobtrusive. The procedure can sometimes be performed under local anaesthetic. The patient is discharged with a compressive chin bandage, to be removed 48 hours later. The result can be assessed one month after the operation, and the final result at 6 months.

The arm liposuction removes excess fat from the brachial area of both men and women. This aesthetic surgery technique will restore a harmonious curve to the arms, and bring more dynamism to the upper figure. Several areas of the upper arm can be treated: the back of the arm, the outside and the inside.

Liposuction of the arms can only be performed if the sagging of the skin is minimal and the skin retracts well.

If not, an arm lift (Scars from arm liposuction are discreet and concealed.

Liposuction of the abdomen eliminates the traditional paunch of the forties in men, often a little later in women (around menopause).

It can also be used to treat fat rolls after pregnancy (mommy makeover).

Abdominal liposuction gives excellent results for effortless tummy loss, provided that the skin has good elasticity and there is no skin slackening on the abdominal strap.

Liposuction of the abdomen cannot solve the problem of excess weight, but it can remove those bulges that resist diet and sport, restoring a slender, toned upper figure.

Dr. Santini, plastic surgeon in Paris, performs tummy tuck liposuction through a small incision in the pubic hair, to insert the cannula and suction out the fat. The procedure is usually performed under general anaesthetic on an outpatient basis. Liposuction of the abdomen in Paris has the advantage of leaving no scars, unlikeabdominoplasty.

The calf and ankle liposuction and ankle liposuction is designed to slim the legs by removing fatty deposits that persist on the lower limbs despite dieting and exercise (lipoedema).

The fat is aspirated using very fine cannulas, the puncture points of which are usually concealed in the natural folds of the skin.

This liposuction technique for the legs helps to reduce excess fat in various areas of the limbs, such as the saddlebags, inner thighs, knees and upper ankles...

Liposuction of the inner thighs and knees is often performed at the same time to achieve effortless slimming of the legs and a slimmer, more harmonious appearance of the entire limb.

The liposuction of the pubis is performed on women who wish to remove the fatty deposits found in this area.

This surgical procedure, performed by Dr. Christelle Santini at our clinics in Paris and Boulogne, involves suctioning away excess fat using a fine cannula. Pubic liposuction is usually performed under local anaesthetic, but can also be performed under general anaesthetic for reasons of modesty or pain sensitivity.

In theory, the result of pubic liposuction is permanent: if you put on weight again, the fat will go elsewhere.

Liposuction helps to sculpt the body by eliminating localized excess fat. Although the body's contours are visible from the very first days, the final result is revealed after about 3 to 6 months, once the swelling has completely disappeared.

With a healthy lifestyle, the results are permanent. Discover how this procedure can transform your figure, through our before-and-after examples.
