Liposculpture
What is this?
Liposculpture is a more advanced cosmetic surgery. Liposculpture is designed to perform more excessive body contouring through the removal and reshaping of fat deposits. This fat may be utilized to refill other areas of the body. It is used to enhance the definition of muscles and remove fat from problem areas, such as the stomach, neck, and chin.
Procedure
Liposculpture is cosmetic surgery that removes small fat deposits between you’re the skin and your muscle via a small incision and a cannula to suction it out. This procedure differs from liposuction in that it´s performed in specific body areas with less fat deposits allowing the doctor to achieve impactful precise body sculpting results.
The incisions are 5mm, where a saline solution is introduced into the tissues through small holes in the skin, and the local anaesthetic in the fluid has had enough time to work, small tubes or are introduced into the fatty layers. Suction is applied to the cannula while they are gently moved through the tissues and the unwanted fat is removed in a progressive fashion until the desired result is achieved. Most cannula used are 5mm in diameter, and are substantially narrower than the cannula used in conventional liposuction. .Suction fat can be reinserted into your body to refill gluteal area, calves, breast or legs. Scars are very small and almost invisible.
