Liposculpture is one of the most attractive cosmetic surgery procedures for those who want to remove the accumulated fat that diet and exercise cannot eliminate.

This technique removes fat from specific areas as: hips, glutes, abdomen, thighs, arms, chin, etc. with very small cannulas that are introduced through small incisions that leave no scars.

This is specially attractive for men and women who want to enhance their body in a way that looks more natural.

These are some of the questions that our patients that are considering undergoing this procedure frequently ask:

Is Liposculpture the Same as Liposuction?

They are not the same procedure. Although the objective of both is to “vacuum” the accumulated fat from the body, the first one is only recommended for patients that are near their ideal weight, and they wish to “sculpture” and shape aesthetically their bodies, while the second one is a more extensive and massive fat removal process for patients that have high levels of accumulated fat.

How Long Is the Recovery Period for Liposculpture?

Patients that undergo this procedure have a recovery period of 3 to 4 weeks, but since the first week after surgery you can start with quiet activities.

Results Could Reverse if I Gain Weight?

The fat cells that were removed months or years ago could recover.

That is why we recommend to our patients to change their lifestyle with exercise and a balanced diet and thus, you will not risk losing the results of the surgery procedure.

Can It Be Done in Any Area of my Body?

Yes, although results may vary from one area to another. The most popular areas are: hips, glutes, thighs, arms, and abdomen, as well as chest for men.

Does It Eliminates Cellulite?

No, liposculpture removes fat from deeper planes, while cellulite, also known as “orange peel skin”, is in a more superficial plane.

Is It Advisable for Obese People?

No, it is advisable for people no more than 12 kilos over their ideal weight. For obese patients, mega-liposuction is recommended after changing their diet and general habits.

Conclusion

If you are considering undergoing liposculpture to enhance your body, you can achieve the best results if you follow the advise of an expert and renowned doctor.

Make sure that you clarify all your doubts about your expectations, as well as about risks, care, and results that can be achieved with this procedure.
