Liposculpture is a type of liposuction that is more advanced, and this process helps to sculpt the contours of the body, by removing excess fat. Before beginning the procedure, your surgeon will use a type of mapping technique, and will use a marker to draw on your skin. By using this topographic map, rather than just circling the treatment area, your surgeon can make a more accurate plan for treatment that is tailored to your own body’s fat deposits. After the map is made, you’ll be made comfortable on a table with padding, and the procedure will begin. The liposculpture will begin with a process that numbs your fat by use of lidocaine in a saline-based solution. This is known as tumescence.
After your fatty tissue is numbed, your surgeon will use ultrasound technology to break up your fat, and leave the tissues that surround the fat mostly intact. This helps you recover more quickly, since your connective tissue, nerves and blood vessels are not fully involved in the surgery. The broken-down fat and the saline solution are safely pulled from your body with a canula, inserted in tiny holes. The canula and the holes that allows its entrance are only the size of a spaghetti noodle. The procedure makes very little noise, and the movements through the fat are slow and gentle. Some patients even compare the feeling to a massage! As a general rule, liposculpture isn’t painful when it is done, or afterwards, and it doesn’t leave you with unattractive scars.
Some of the areas that can be slimmed by liposculpture include thighs (posterior, anterior and inner); upper and lower abdomen; lower, mid and upper back; pubic area, lower legs, saddle bags, love handles, chest, buttocks, breasts, knees, hips, waist, arms, neck and chin.
Cosmetic surgeries for your body work with your overall health and attitude to promote body wellness. Too often, people see liposculpture and other types of elective surgery as a failure for the person having them, like people believe that they should have been able to achieve the same results through dieting and fitness. Actually, the fat deposits that are removed with liposculpture are not normally responsive to the diet and exercise that help sculpt other parts of your body.
In actuality, many liposculpture patients do work out regularly, but the fat they need to lose isn’t in an area where exercising and dieting will help to get rid of it. With a procedure as non-invasive as liposculpture can be, patients are also free to return to their exercise regimen sooner after surgery than with older, traditional methods of fat removal.
The newer aspects of liposculpture techniques can better be thought of as an addition to a patient’s fitness routine, rather than a symbol of its failure. Sculpting your body can target areas that are problematic due to genetics, and areas not responsive to diet and exercise. You can be pleased with using liposculpture to further the results you have already attained, rather than being disappointed that you “had to” have surgery. The results can help to motivate you to go even further with your exercise and diet regimen, after you’ve seen what’s attainable, and how great your body can look.
