Slim hips thanks to liposuction

Fat deposits in the hips (also, referred to as «love handles») may be extremely aesthetically unpleasant. If neither exercise nor dieting helps to get rid of these fat deposits, liposuction may help you achieve a new, harmonious body shape.

With a liposuction, the aesthetically unpleasant fat deposits of a body-conscious, athletic patient of normal weight may be reduced drastically.

For the liposuction to yield the desired effect, the skin should not be too damaged: which means it must neither be too old nor present too many stretch marks. Only if the skin is elastic enough to shrink back, will a convincing result be achieved.

Liposuction - how will be the surgery performed?

For a liposuction procedure, Dr. Colette Carmen Camenisch injects at first a saline solution with lidocaine and adrenalin (tumescent technique) in the hip region. After a short exposure time, the subcutaneous fat in excess is aspirated by a special device. The device first achieves a negative pressure, then aspirates the fat through cannulae.

The treated areas will work together beautifully to achieve a harmonious figure.
