Microcannula Liposuction

  • Chapter
Liposuction

27.13 Conclusions

Microcannula liposuction offers the surgeon extraordinary control of the fat compartment with a significant reduction in contour irregularities. There is reduced surgeon fatigue and stress. The risk of surface irregularities is significantly reduced. Microcannula liposuction reduces patient discomfort and allows for a more complete procedure with diminished need for sedation or additional analgesia. Facilitation of liposuction in fibrous areas is considerably enhanced with microcannulas. In sculpting delicate areas such as the cheek, microcannula liposuction remains the method of choice.
