Liposuction
Liposuction is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgery procedures in the world. It provides a permanent solution for removing localized fat deposits that are resistant to exercise and a balanced diet.
At myclinic, Dr. Samuel Levy performs liposuction on various areas of the body to create a more balanced silhouette while preserving each patient’s natural proportions.
What is liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that involves permanently removing localized excess fat using thin cannulas inserted under the skin.
This technique can be used to reshape certain areas of the body when fat cells persist despite efforts to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity or a method for weight loss. Its purpose is to improve the body's contours.
For whom?
Liposuction may be considered for patients with localized fat deposits and good skin quality.
The most commonly treated areas are:
• the stomach
• love handles
• the back
• the thighs
• saddle bags
• the knees
• the arms
• the double chin
A consultation with the surgeon will help determine whether this procedure is appropriate for your body type and your goals.
Consultation with Dr. Samuel Levy
Consultation is an essential step.
Dr. Samuel Levy assesses the patient’s body contour, skin quality, and the areas to be treated in order to develop a personalized surgical plan.
He explains in detail the procedure, the expected outcomes, the postoperative care, and the limitations of the surgery.
The Intervention
Liposuction is performed in the operating room under anesthesia appropriate for the extent of the areas being treated.
Small, discreet incisions allow for the insertion of cannulas that evenly suction out fat cells.
The duration of the procedure varies depending on the number of areas treated.
Postoperative Care
After the procedure, swelling and bruising are common for a few days to a few weeks.
Wearing compression garments is generally recommended to optimize skin retraction and the final result.
It is often possible to resume daily activities quickly, while sports should be resumed gradually, following the surgeon's recommendations.
Results
The first changes become visible once the swelling subsides.
The results continue to improve gradually in the weeks and months following the procedure.
The fat cells that are removed do not regrow, which ensures long-lasting results as long as your weight remains stable.

Each procedure is tailored to achieve a balanced result that respects the patient’s anatomy and meets their expectations, with particular attention paid to proportions and the quality of the body’s contours.
