However, the widespread acceptance and popularity of liposuction is due to Illouz who devised the ‘wet technique’ for liposuction and introduced the concept of “discontinuous dissection.” Interestingly, it was an Otolaryngologist-Julius Newman who first used the term ‘liposuction’ in 1983. Shortly thereafter, Pierre Fournier further improved on this technique and advocated the ‘dry technique’ for liposuction. Modern liposuction began with the technique and instruments of Giorgio Fischer and Arpad Fischer who first reported the use of hollow instruments and suction apparatus for liposuction in 1976. This unfortunate complication obviously dampened interest and curbed further development in this procedure for many decades. However, an inadvertent injury to the femoral vessels resulted in the amputation of the dancer's leg. The original concept of removing excess fat from localised parts of the body is credited to Charles Dujarrier, who in 1921 attempted to remove subcutaneous fat by using a uterine curette from the calf and knees of a ballerina.
Since the introduction of liposuction several modifications have been made to the original concept to make it more effective and to reduce the incidence of complications.
