Liposculpture - Liposuction
What is the Liposculpture?
Liposculpture is currently one of the most commonly requested aesthetical surgical treatments. Unlike the formerly called liposuction, the liposculpture involves the use of new technology that makes it possible to mold the body in a more precise and efficient way. The liposculpture is a surgical procedure aimed to remove the fat deposits of different areas of the body such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks and neck. Best results are obtained from moderate overweight patients. Those patients with excess fat around the waistline and stomach may benefit from liposculpture.
If you are an overweight patient, your surgeon may motive you to lose weight through traditional methods of diet and exercise before undergoing liposculpture. Liposculpture is a treatment aimed to reshape different areas of the body, not to lose weight.
Many patients may find that if they do not maintain their figure, and they do not observe a healthy diet and exercise routine after liposuction, the may gain weight in those areas that were previously treated.

Tumescent liposuction
Unlike traditional liposuction, which is a dry method (that does not use any fluid injection to prepare the treated area), the tumescent liposuction use a large dose of liquids to ease the fat removal. In the tumescent liposuction a large dose of liquid containing lidocaine, a local anesthetic, and epinephrine is injected in the treated area.
This method allows the surgeon to easily remove fat deposits with less damage to the tissues.
The tumescent liposuction can significantly reduce the postoperative pain, swelling, and bruising.
The solution not only provides anesthesia to the area, but also minimizes blood loss during surgery, allows the access of the liposuction cannula through the fat tissue, and minimizes the fluid requirements during and after surgery. When done properly, this procedure is simple and effective.
