[Lipectomy and lipexhaeresia in the area of the lower extremities (author's transl)].

Lokalized fat can be removed for pathologic but also for purely aesthetic reasons. Lipexhaeresia is a method that enables one to do this without leaving any significant scars. Certain principles of approach must be observed if aesthetically satisfactory results are to be obtained. Experience shows that there are no limits as to indication. Combination with dermolipectomy in the area of the buttocks increases the range of application.
