For a more flattering physique

  • If you have excess fat which is resistant to diet and exercise.
  • If you wish to change the contours of your body. Commonly involved areas are the front part of your neck (under the chin), upper arms and armpits, chest, trunk, abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, inner knees and calves.
  • Most people are near normal weight and desire permanent contour changes.
  • Liposculpture can be useful for heavier persons as well.

Intended Results

  • A permanent improvement in the contour and proportion of the treated areas.
  • A more flattering figure or physique, in or out of your clothing.

Procedure Description

  • Your procedures are done on an outpatient basis.
  • The procedure can be done using sedation or general anesthesia is usually used for your safety and comfort.
  • Small suction tubes (cannulas) are inserted through very small incisions placed in inconspicuous locations near the fat deposits, and excess fat is removed.

Recuperation and Healing

  • You will go home with a compression garment covering the treated areas. Compression is advised for about 2 weeks, as it helps reduce your swelling and helps you achieve the final result more quickly.
  • Once pain and soreness decrease, it is frequently more comfortable to wear Lycra or spandex garments.
  • Initial discomfort is easily controlled with pill medication.
  • Your bruising and swelling usually subside in two to four weeks. The final result takes shape over two to three months.
