These days leading experts in liposuction have stopped using the scalpel to cut the skin before inserting the cannula. Instead they use stamps as for biopsy to punch 1.5 mm wide, round holes into the skin. After surgery these will completely close by themselves. No stitches are required. After a few weeks these holes will be hardly visible, after a few month they will have completely disappeared. In this novel method only very thin cannulas (microcannulas) can be used.
