he had undergone a complete liposuction of his entire upper body
What was reported about Julien Tanti's liposuction?
PurePeople reported, in the outlet's own words describing what Julien Tanti had explained to the press: «il avait subi une liposuccion complète de tout le haut du corps» ("he had undergone a complete liposuction of his entire upper body"). The same article covered a separate rumour — that fat removed from Julien Tanti had been transferred to his partner Manon Marsault — which she personally denied as completely false on her own Snapchat, without denying that he himself had had the liposuction.

WhatsAppThat reported statement is the entire basis of this article: a complete upper-body liposuction, explained by Julien Tanti to the press around May 2023. He did not name a clinic or surgeon in the reporting available, so this article does not guess at either. Where the sections below explain how liposuction is performed and how recovery usually goes, they describe the operation in general, not his personal treatment.
Why the distinction in this story matters
The same report that confirmed Julien Tanti's own liposuction also shows how rumours about cosmetic surgery can spiral: outlets speculated about fat being transferred between him and his partner, which Manon Marsault had to deny directly.

This article relies only on what Julien Tanti himself told the press about his own body — a full upper-body liposuction — and sets aside the unrelated transfer rumour entirely, since neither he nor she confirmed it.

How liposuction is done today
Liposuction removes localised fat through a thin cannula inserted via tiny incisions, most often combining several adjacent zones — chest, back, flanks and abdomen, as in a full upper-body procedure — in a single session. Two techniques are commonly used:
Tumescent liposuction
- How it works
- A solution loosens fat and limits bleeding before suction
- Best suited to
- Classic contouring across one or more zones
VASER (ultrasound-assisted)
- How it works
- Ultrasound breaks down fat cells before suction
- Best suited to
- Finer contouring, including muscle definition
A combined, multi-area procedure like the one Julien Tanti described typically lasts three to four hours, generally under general anaesthesia, compared with about an hour for a single small zone.
Who is it for, and how to prepare
Liposuction suits people with localised fat deposits in several areas that resist diet and exercise, including the chest, back and flanks in men. Before surgery, patients have blood tests, an ECG and a chest X-ray; medication affecting blood clotting is stopped two weeks ahead on the surgeon's advice, and alcohol and smoking a week ahead. Combining several zones in one session, as in Julien Tanti's case, means a longer anaesthesia time and a somewhat longer recovery than a single small area.
What recovery looks like
With general anaesthesia, typically needed for a multi-area procedure, patients stay one day in hospital under observation. Compression garments are then worn day and night for 30 to 45 days to help the skin and tissue settle, and sauna, pool and intense sport are avoided for the first month.
Most patients return to work within 7 to 10 days, though a full upper-body procedure can mean a slightly longer, more cautious return given the larger area treated. The final result is assessed at three to six months, once the tissue has fully adapted and any swelling has resolved.
How recovery after liposuction usually goes
- Day of surgeryGeneral anaesthesia typically used for a multi-area procedure; 3–4 hours for a combined session.
- Day 1One day in hospital under observation after general anaesthesia.
- Days 1–7Compression garment worn day and night; mild swelling is normal.
- 7–10 daysMost patients return to work.
- Weeks 1–6Compression garment continues for 30–45 days; no sauna, pool or intense sport.
- 3–6 monthsFinal result assessed once tissue has fully adapted.
