Liposuction (Lipo)
Liposculpture Fat Removal
Liposculpture creates the same result as the more commonly used term, liposuction or Lipo. Very similarly to liposuction excess fat cells are removed, from almost any part of the body.
Liposculpture Surgery
However, in contrast to liposuction, the procedure of liposculpture is a more time consuming operation with a greater amount of personal skill required by the plastic surgeon, and creates a smoother end result, changing the contours of your body or face. This cosmetic surgery procedure is suitable for both men and women.
Liposuction (Lipo): Liposculpture Fat Removal Surgery Information
The Liposculpture Procedure
The procedure involves insertion of a Cannula (small tube-like syringe) through a small incision in the skin. The fat is then drawn through the tube leaving a much smoother surface. The procedure is carried out under General Anaesthetic.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is it right for me?
The best candidate for liposculpture are those with stubborn areas of fat which are resistant to diet or exercise. This could include the tummy, buttocks, chin, arms, knees etc. See below diagram indicating the areas that can be treated with liposculpture. A number of areas may be treated in the same session, according to your needs and requirements. A consultation with a Surgeon will help you identify what sort of outcome you could expect. You'll get honest advice from a Cosmetic Surgeon who is expert in this area.
Q: Can men benefit from lipo?
Yes, many men are also now taking advantage of liposuction for treating such areas as the stomach and ‘love handles’ (fat that has accumulated on the sides of the waist). Male breasts are often embarrassing when they look very feminine. Excessive fat can now be removed from this problem area, restoring the body to a more masculine physique.
Q: What areas is lipo suitable for?
Stubborn fat deposits which cannot be removed by diet or exercise usually occur in areas such as the stomach, thighs, buttocks, sides, back chest or chin. Liposuction is a fat removal procedure that aims to eradicate excessive fat from these hard to shift areas. It isn't an overall weight loss procedure, but enables you to target specific problem areas.

Q: Will I have any scars after liposuction surgery?
After liposuction, a scar of about a quarter of an inch will be left, placed discreteley wherever possible in a body fold or crease.
As with most scars, given time they will generally fade and become virtually undetectable.
