Liposuctions are not all the same. The differences between them are not only found in the price, but above all in the liposuction procedure, the aesthetic quality of the result, the risk for the patient and in the aftercare.
Regarding the type of liposuction that I am using, my development objectives are to combine precise body contouring, minimal surgical risk, and simple aftercare into a single method. The result is called “liposculpture” in which body parts are particularly tissue-conservingly shaped by hand with thin microcannulas (diameter between 1.0 and 2.5 mm) under local anesthesia.
The advantages of this gentle procedure are obvious: Liposuction while lying down or in standing position enables a very accurate shaping of the silhouette. Due to the fact that there is usually only a consecutive mild swelling as a consequence of the intervention, the patient can convince herself about the result immediately after the liposuction. Wearing light compression clothing or compression pantyhose for 7 days after the intervention is sufficient due to the minor injuries in comparison with a conventional liposuction.
The bruises usually fade within a short time, the small punctures do not need to be sewn back together and they are usually no longer visible to the naked eye after a few months. The photograph shows one of our patients on the day after microcannular liposuction of waist, hips, buttocks, and inner and outer thighs was performed. Kindly note that the swellings and bruises which are typical for other types of liposuction are minimal in the case of microcannular liposuction. The pain is slight compared to regular liposuction.
The result shown in the picture is not the final result. It will take about one week until the swellings ebb away and the final result will get visible. However, the depicted result is already very impressive – what is your opinion?
