Title:

A History of Liposuction

Description:

While modern plastic surgery techniques have been in existence for little more than a decade, the first true liposuction procedure can be traced to the 1920s when a French surgeon named Charles Dujarier assisted with the contouring of the leg of a model who had suffered gangrene in a leg after an accident. Liposuction as a procedure underwent many decades of evolution until the 1980s when another French doctor named Yves-Gerard Illouz introduced a method of high-vacuum suctioning into the procedure. A Fort Worth Texas cosmetic surgeon would today likely use an even more advanced technique with laser tipped probes or ultrasound.
