Liposculpture, much like traditional liposuction, is a surgical procedure designed to remove stubborn, unwanted fat deposits from targeted areas of the body. However, the key distinction lies in their techniques and goals. While both body contouring procedures aim to eliminate excess fat, liposculpture goes beyond simple fat removal. It employs a more refined approach that combines precise fat removal with artistic shaping techniques to enhance natural contours and achieve a sculpted appearance.
In contrast, traditional liposuction procedures primarily focus on fat reduction without as much emphasis on contouring and shaping. Therefore, individuals seeking a more sculpted and toned outcome may opt for liposculpture, whereas those primarily concerned with fat reduction may choose traditional liposuction.
Before undergoing facial liposuction, you will undergo an initial consultation and comprehensive medical evaluation, including blood tests and a medical history review, to ensure you are a suitable candidate for the procedure. Additionally, our plastic surgeon may request to adjust your current medications or recommend discontinuing certain supplements and anti-inflammatory medications to minimize the risk of bleeding during surgery. You will typically be advised to fast for a specified period before the procedure. Furthermore, despite being an outpatient procedure, you will need someone to assist you for the first 24 hours and drive you home after the surgery. Our double board-certified plastic surgeon is widely known for his “awake” lipo procedures expertise and performs safely with local anesthesia.
With the unwanted fat removed, our plastic surgeon carefully sculpts the area to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing contour. Achieving smooth and natural-looking results requires meticulous precision and a keen artistic eye throughout the process.
