Microcannula Liposuction

Microcannula liposuction removes localised pockets of stubborn fat using very fine cannulas through tiny entry points, allowing precise contouring with less trauma than traditional liposuction. It is suited to smaller, defined areas — such as under the chin, where it can be combined with a mini face-lift — and to refining body contours that resist diet and exercise. At Estéea it is performed as a minimally invasive, local-anaesthetic procedure, with the exact plan and price agreed at consultation.

Microcannula liposuction is a refined form of liposuction that uses very small-diameter cannulas to aspirate fat through tiny incisions. The fine instruments allow the surgeon to work precisely and gently, sculpting localised fat deposits while minimising trauma to the surrounding tissue, which generally means less bruising and a smoother recovery than with larger traditional cannulas. It is best suited to discrete, well-defined areas of stubborn fat that persist despite a stable weight and regular exercise — for example the submental (under-chin) area, where it is frequently combined with a mini face-lift to sharpen the jaw and neckline, as well as other small body and facial contour areas. At Estéea the procedure is carried out as a minimally invasive operation under local anaesthesia. The area is infiltrated with anaesthetic fluid, the fine cannulas are introduced through tiny entry points, and the targeted fat is removed and the contour refined. Because the incisions are very small, scarring is minimal. A compression garment is typically worn afterwards to support the tissues and help the skin settle smoothly, and some swelling and bruising are expected in the first weeks, with the final contour emerging as this resolves. Liposuction reshapes specific areas; it is a contouring procedure, not a weight-loss method, and works best for people close to their target weight with reasonable skin elasticity. Candidates are assessed individually for suitability, the treatment plan and any contraindications, and because the scope varies the price is quoted at consultation rather than published.
