Liposuction has become one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgeries in the United States. In 1974,
Dr. Giorgio Fischer, a gynecologist from Italy invented the original form of liposuction. French physicians Illouz, a gynecologist, and Fournier further developed liposuction around 1978. By 1980, liposuction was extremely popular in the United States but was confronting negative publicity due to patients experiencing excessive bleeding and undesirable rippling of the skin after surgery. In 1985, Dr. Klein invented the tumescent technique for liposuction, revolutionizing liposuction surgery. His "Tumescent Technique" allowed patients to have liposuction performed totally by local anesthesia using much smaller cannulas. Patients could now have liposuction surgery without the fear of excessive bleeding and undesirable skin depressions. Other techniques developed, such as the dry and wet techniques, the ultrasonic technique, and laser lipolysis to make the procedure as simple, fast and risk-free as
possible for patients.

We believe LipoMassage by Endermologie is most beneficial after your liposuction procedure to promote healing, increase blood flow to the tissue and stimulate lymphatic drainage.  Treatments will be performed starting one to two weeks post-procedure and will be continued for six weeks.  This is an excellent treatment and allows for further body contouring and smoothing of the skin as it heals.  You will enjoy the benefits of Lipomassage and find them relaxing.
