Liposuction Techniques

Background

Liposuction is the process of suctioning fat from various parts of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, chest, back, calves, ankles, buttocks, upper arms, and neck, allowing not just fat removal but also contouring of these areas. The Illouz technique of cannula liposuction has been used for decades. First originated in 1977, the new tunneling technique allows for removal of localized fat collections without long incisions and prolonged recovery. The current technique of suction-assisted liposuction (SAL) represents removal of fat using blunt-tipped hollow cannulas connected to a closed suction system. Over the years, many alterations and modifications have been employed to minimize risk and improve cosmetic outcome of the contouring procedure of liposuction.
