Before the procedure

Knowing what to expect, from choosing the right surgeon to understanding the recovery process, helps liposuction candidates make smart choices.

During the procedure

The procedure begins with an analysis of the quality of the patient’s skin and hips to determine the fatty deposits to be removed. The surgeon then marks the areas of intervention with a felt-tip surgical pen, and injects a solution that liquefies the fatty tissue and absorbs it more easily.

Very fine incisions are then made in the natural folds of the hips, where the surgeon inserts very fine cannulas, with rounded tips and perforated at the ends.

The suction system then gradually absorbs the fat cell clusters, with the help of the surgeon’s hands, which make “cross-fan” movements, which encourage the disappearance of cellulite. The incisions are then closed with absorbable sutures and covered with a bandage. The procedure usually lasts no more than two hours.

After the procedure

To reduce swelling and bruising resulting from liposuction, the patient wears supportive underwear for two weeks.

Thanks to the shrinkage effect, the skin does not show any irregularities or ripples, remains smooth and becomes completely taut.
