At the end of the 70s, two researchers: Illouz and Fournier from France began to further develop the liposuction technique by using both a vacuum and a needle in the process. This led to a breakthrough for modern plastic surgery, and became the forerunner of today's modern liposuction techniques. During the 80s, a lot of research was done on liposuction which resulted in mixed results.
The reason why liposuction has become one of the most popular plastic surgeries over the years is possibly a combination of the good results of the procedure together with the fact that you cannot slim down fat accumulations on the body. In some cases, liposuction is the only solution to get rid of a double chin or trouser leg.
Liposuction in 2010
Techniques have improved and many ideas have emerged that have brought liposuction closer to being safe, easy, painless and effective. Today, we have gathered 30 years of experience and developed the modern Liposculpture which gives us the opportunity to liposuction different parts of the body. Today, liposuction is a common way to get rid of excess fat in various areas of the body, for both men and women.
The surgical challenge and our focus is to remove the right amount of fat, ensure the least possible disturbance of nearby tissue, and reduce discomfort for the patient.
We ensure this through good cooperation between surgeon and patient.
The treatment areas for liposuction can be, for example, the stomach, thighs and buttocks, neck, back and arms. Modern technology also allows us to harvest fat from certain parts of the body to inject it into other areas. Oslo plastic surgery has practiced liposuction combined with breast augmentation with own fat tissue since 2008. Thus, you can combine liposuction with breast augmentation for a more natural result and to create more balance in the distribution of fat on the body. Other possibilities may be to combine liposuction with fat injection of the face and mouth.
