Operations for areas with excess fatty tissue or skin Responsible Physician Ioannis Kaloudis Plastic Surgeon There are two main techniques to reduce fat in areas of the body such as abdomen and trunk, arms and lower limbs. The first is liposuction when we only have excess adipose tissue with good skin quality, while the second is done by excision of dermofatty tissue when sagging is present. Liposuction is performed through small holes in various parts of the body while dermolipectomy leaves characteristic scars in places that are less visible. Typical such operations are abdominoplasty, femoroplasty and brachioplasty.Both techniques are performed under general anesthesia while recovery is faster and easier with liposuction.
