The liposuction in Paris is the second surgical operation the most popular in plastic surgery, just after breast augmentation.
This liposuction technique consists in removing localized excess fat that is resistant to diet or sport. Performed by a qualified surgeon, the result is natural and harmonious.
This concern for harmony is also at the heart of other procedures such as breast augmentation. Many women wish to gain confidence with a breast augmentation personalized, adapted to their morphology.
Nevertheless, some patients are reluctant to use the’general anesthesia.
The gentle liposuction eliminates the need for general anesthesia.
The surgeon administers a local anesthetic to the area to be aspirated. The patient is conscious, but feels no pain.
Can all patients benefit from gentle liposuction?
No, this procedure is reserved for minimal excess fat, like a small bulge over the navel, for example.
In the case of more extensive excess fat in several areas, a classic liposuction, under general anaesthetic is the preferred option. If the procedure were to be more extensive or prolonged, it would be uncomfortable for the patient.
The gentle liposuction is a procedure which is aimed at patients who are already rather slim, with a little excess fat that is resistant to sport or diet.

- Liposuction does not treat excess skin. For that, a so-called dermolipectomy, or abdominoplasty for the tummy (difference between liposuction and abdominoplasty).
- Liposuction does not improve cellulite on the skin.

Hello, Doctor,
I've always had a little excess fat on my stomach and I'd like to know if gentle liposuction is suitable. I already have a fairly balanced diet and I think the fat I have has been there for years. So I'd like an effective and permanent solution. In other words, if I keep the same diet and lifestyle, this little fatty mass won't reappear. What's more, I'm very sporty, so I'd like a solution that won't immobilize me for too long.
Thank you very much,
B.
Good morning, sir,
You're talking about a "lipomeria", an area of refractory fat.
Liposuction could be a solution, but you would need to be examined to decide,
Yours sincerely,
Dr Djian
