Liposuction was invented in 1974 by two Italian-American surgeons - Doctors Giorgio and Arpad Fischer. The roots of liposuction date back to the 1920s. Dr. Dujarier, a French surgeon performed a fat removal procedure on a model in 1926 which tragically resulted in gangrene in one of her legs; consequently, interest in body contouring receded for several decades. The most common cosmetic operation in America and the United Kingdom is Liposuction . Over 400,000 procedures are carried out in the USA each year. Liposuction, also called lipoplasty, liposculpture suction lipectomy, or lipo, is a type of cosmetic surgery which breaks up and "sucks" fat from various possible parts of the body, most commonly the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, neck, chin, upper and backs of the arms, calves, and back.
Liposuction permanently removes fat cells from the body. It will alter the shape of a body. However, if the patient does not lead a healthy lifestyle after the operation there is a risk that the remaining fat cells grow bigger.
Many different techniques are available with liposuction. Dr. Uribe will spend time discussing these options during your consultation to help guide and educate you about terms you may be familiar with such as Smart lipo, Lipodissolve , liposculpture, tumescent technique, and mesotherapy. He will discuss the benefits and downside of each to help you make an educated decision.
