What is liposculpture?

You may have heard about liposuction and how it can give you a toned figure, but what if you could take this cosmetic treatment up a notch? Is it possible to achieve more results to get a fitter figure?

Through the process of liposculpture, it is possible to obtain a sculpted body and a consistent shape, as it is a procedure that includes getting rid of excess fat from the body, in this procedure not only subcutaneous fat and muscles are removed, but it sculpts the body and gives the body a consistent and appropriate shape according to the patient’s desire, Also, not all of the fat is suctioned, but some of the fat is left in the body and distributed in a consistent way to give a sculpted body in a consistent and wonderful way.

The main goal of liposculpture is to enhance muscle tone and shape, and instead of suctioning and disposing of fat as in traditional liposuction, the doctor reuses fat to produce a harmonious body shape.

Liposculpture is an effective way to get rid of stubborn fat in different areas of the body that do not respond well to exercise or diet alone. Among the most targeted areas for body sculpting are the muscles of the abdomen, back, leg, arms, and excess fat under the chin through this procedure.

Body sculpting can deal with small areas with stubborn fat that traditional liposuction cannot perform as it works on large areas of the body,

Unlike liposuction that covers large areas of the body, liposculpture is more specific and deals with the lower pockets of stubborn fat that the former cannot handle, and it also allows the use of possible fat to improve the overall shape of the body. Instead of simply removing the fat, it is deposited in specific locations to produce better angles and a more toned muscular structure.

There are three different methods available to perform liposculpture:

Laser-assisted

A specific tool is used to melt stubborn fat in targeted areas of the body, resulting in more precise results. But this method takes longer to finish.

Power-assisted

The fat cells are broken down through the vibration caused by the devices specialized in breaking them down quickly and this makes it easier to suction them out from the targeted areas.

Ultrasound assisted

The fat is melted for suction using ultrasound energy emitted from the device’s wand, as this method can remove large amounts of fat, but this procedure takes a long time to complete.

The doctor will tell you the type that is suitable for you and according to the required results, and the results of the body sculpting process will surprise you because there is no other cosmetic procedure that gives the same consistency and body sculpting as this process.

How is liposculpture performed?

During the procedure, fat is removed from areas of the body through an advanced liposuction device that redistributes the fat and tightens and accentuates the muscle areas, rather than simply suctioning and disposing of the fat.
The tumescent technique is one of the most popular methods because it reduces the appearance of scars and blood loss. The doctor will inject sterile saline solution with anesthesia into the area that needs treatment, after that, a small incision will be made where a small cannula can be inserted for liposuction.
This procedure takes about 2 to 4 hours to complete, depending on the area of the body being treated and how important the work needs to be done. Local anesthesia will be used and this procedure is generally done in one time to achieve the desired results.
Other cosmetic procedures can be combined with body contouring, where a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, or a Brazilian butt lift can be performed, where the fat that was removed from your body is reused, and a sculpted and toned figure is obtained.
