Liposculpture is a surgical procedure whereby liposuction techniques are used to define a more pleasing body shape. It is a more refined type of liposuction, and generally offers better results compared to traditional liposuction. Liposculpture is particularly important for thigh reduction where a certain amount of residual fat is desirable, and it has presented a safer, more efficient alternative to traditional liposuction.
Liposculpture follows a similar path to liposuction but the physician focuses primarily on sculpting the body rather than just removing a certain volume of fat. Liposculpture is performed under local anaesthetic and is a minimal invasive body sculpting procedure that provides amazing results for patients. Liposculpture is one of the most common cosmetic plastic surgery procedure performed today, and is generally considered one of the safest procedures performed in the cosmetic field today.
Liposculpture is minimally invasive, so patients experience very few side effects, but it may result in the patient feeling pain and side effects which may be difficult for some individuals to cope with. Liposculpture is designed to make moderate changes in ones appearance and will not result in significant weight loss, and the procedure itself is not a credible alternative to weight loss - neither will cellulite and waffled skin be cured by this technique. Liposculpture is best suited to people who are able to maintain a stable weight and who have reasonable skin tone.
Liposculpture is often considered cosmetic. However, if you are considering having the procedure performed then you must check with your insurance carrier as it is considered a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by most health insurance plans.
