Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove fat cells from the body. The procedure differs depending on the type of liposuction that is selected but every surgery requires the use of small hollow cylinders called cannulae placed into small incisions in the skin and the fat cells being suctioned out of the body. Liposuction is a popular method for improving the appearance of the body by eliminating unwanted deposits of body fat. Over time the liposuction procedures have changed and evolved becoming safer and more effective. The idea to perform liposuction surgery was invented by Italian-American surgeons, Doctors Giorgio and Arpad Fischer, in 1974 but the original idea surfaced with French surgeon, Charles Dujarier. Dujarier first attempted body contouring and removal of fat in the 1920's on a ballerina wanting a shapelier knee. Unfortunately the surgery ended tragically with the ballerina getting gangrene and losing her leg. It will be several decades before another attempt at removing fat from the body was attempted. European surgeon Leon Forrester Tcheupdjian is credited with the first curettage techniques but due to the blood loss and loss of life this procedure was discarded by the medical field. Once liposuction was invented by Doctors Giorgio and Arpad Fischer new modern methods began to emerge in society. In 1982 a French Surgeon developed the "Illouz Method" where fluids were injected into the tissue before suctioning the resulting liquefied fat cells through a high powered vacuum. This method resulted in good results and a low morbidity rate. During the 1980's other liposuction techniques were developed in the United States with mixed results but in 1985 the tumescent technique was developed by Doctors Klein and Lillis. The tumescent technique became the popular liposuction method because it resulted in less blood loss and patients did not need to go to the hospital to have the procedure done. In the tumescent technique local anesthesia is injected into the fat cells and then fat is vacuumed through a cannula placed under the skin. The tumescent technique remains the most popular method for liposuction thirty years later but other popular techniques have developed through new technological innovations. At the end of the 1990's a new method using an ultrasound was invented allowing doctors to first liquefy the fat cells before vacuuming from the body. While this method garnered a great deal of interest in cosmetic surgery it was more risky then the tumescent technique causing cosmetic surgeons to continue to use the trusted tumescent technique. New laser techniques have developed in the 21st Century allowing cosmetic to safely liquefy fat cells after shooting the laser through the cannula. The liquefied fat cells are then vacuumed from the body. In current society there are many new methods for performing liposuction. Over time liposuction procedures have become safer and results in fewer risks. While other methods are applied the tumescent method is still the most trusted and commonly used liposuction technique. Lipo is a relatively safe cosmetic treatment and easy way to remove fat in order to make positive changes to body. The most popular cosmetic procedure is Lipo or Lipoaspiracao which contours the body and removes excess, unwanted fat.
