Several years ago European physicians, primarily in France, developed a technique for body fat removal through small incisions that are unnoticeable when carefully placed. This technique was developed and presented by the French as revolutionary--not only for its concept, but also for its remarkable results and absence of side effects. The procedure captured the imagination of physicians and surgeons throughout the world.

Liposuction is an improved technique for body contouring which offers good cosmetic results, significantly fewer risks for the patient, imperceptible scars, and infrequent post-operative complications. The modern technique of liposuction was developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s by two French doctors, doctor Gerald Illouz and doctor Pierre Fournier. The pair were responsible for the refinement of the instruments and the surgery itself. Liposuction has been performed in the U.S. since 1978. In 1983, Illouz and Fournier arrived in the United States to introduce their technique to American surgeons. During the past decade liposuction, which is also known as "lipoplasty" or "suction lipectomy," has benefited from several new refinements like those of doctors Illouz and Fournier. Today, there tumescent technique, the ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL), and the super-wet technique, are helping many plastic surgeons to provide selected patients with more precise results and quicker recovery times.
