Micro Liposuction

Microliposuction refers to the the removal of small areas of fat through tiny tubes and very small incisions. Microliposuction is commonly performed on the face, especially the cheeks, neck, under the chin, and the jowls. When liposuction is done on other small pockets of fat using tiny cannulas, it may also be referred to as "micro liposuction".

Cannulas used to remove the fat range in diameter from 1.5mm to 6 mm in diameter. In general, smaller cannulas are preferable to larger ones for smaller areas (such as with microliposuction), and for more refined contouring. Larger cannulas speed the surgery for the doctor, but may put the patient at greater risk for rippling and lumpiness. Sometimes, a larger cannula will be used initially to remove the bulk of the fat, and then progressively smaller cannulas employed for fine contouring and sculpting.
