Liposuction involves performing a procedure on the targeted areas through tiny incisions, which soon become invisible. Excess fat is removed, effectively sculpting the silhouette. The surgeon’s skill – their ability to achieve a smooth, even result combined with the patient’s good skin elasticity and healing capacity – is crucial to the success of the procedure, which can yield truly remarkable results.
The ideal candidates are young patients with firm skin who exhibit localised fat deposits. For older patients or those with looser skin or stretch marks, liposuction can be performed for morphological purposes to reduce the thickness of the fat layer, though aesthetic results may be less pronounced, depending on the quality and elasticity of the skin. Under no circumstances is liposuction a "weight-loss" procedure, as its goal is specifically to reshape the figure. Weight issues should be addressed prior to surgery.
