Two Italian American doctors are credited with it’s invention in 1974 while working in Rome, Italy. The procedure dates back to the 1920’s. A French surgeon first performed the procedure but in 1926 he had a tragic occurrence with a model who developed gangrene and interest in the procedure was set back for decades as a result. The procedure evolved from European surgeons and was pioneered in the United States by Leon Tcheupdjian, a European surgeon.
Modern methods were done by French surgeon Dr. Yves-Gerard Illouz in 1982. The Illouz Method featured the suction-assisted lipolysis technique. This method produced good results with a low morbidity rate. In 1985 Klein and Lillis described a technique that added high levels of fluid containing a local anesthetic allowing the procedure to be done in an office under an intravenous sedation instead of a general anesthesia.
Ultrasound was used in the late 1990’s, it liquefied fat using ultrasonic energy but it had complications. Over the years many improvements have been made allowing for reduced risk and increased comfort. It was also discovered that the fat that was removed could be used to fill in wrinkles.
Removing large amounts of fat is potentially life-threatening and complex. Large amounts of fat refers to more than eight and a half pints or 5 liters. The area where it is most often done is in the thighs and the abdomen in women and the flanks and abdomen on men. It is the most common form of plastic surgery, over four hundred thousand patients had the procedure done in 2006 according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
