Liposuction works on the same principle for all methods: Fat tissue is selectively loosened under the skin and sucked out with a fine cannula during the procedure. Problem areas are specifically addressed in order to bring the body into the desired shape. The procedure can produce excellent results, especially in the case of localized fat deposits on the hips, abdomen, legs, and upper body.
Our doctors for aesthetic surgery use gentle vibration suction for liposuction: The cannula vibrates to gently remove excess fat from the tissue and then suction it off during vibration-assisted liposuction (VAL).
Liposuction is commonly used to treat the outer thighs ("saddlebags"), as well as fat pads on the stomach, back, and waist ("lifebuoys").
