Liposuction and LipoSculpture

Introduction
There is often confusion between liposuction and liposculpture. Liposuction involves removing excess fat from specific areas of the body (abdomen, hips, arms, back, face, etc.) through a suction effect using a cannula.

Liposculpture, on the other hand, aims to contour the body by eliminating localized fat.

The main candidates for this surgery are healthy patients with fat deposits in one or several areas of the body that do not respond to diet or exercise.

Liposuction has significantly evolved thanks to the implementation of new technologies that not only improve aesthetic results but also increase safety and reduce recovery time. Below are some of the advanced technologies used in liposuction:
Ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL)
Laser-assisted liposuction (LAL)
Power-assisted liposuction (PAL)
Radiofrequency-assisted liposuction/lipolysis.

These technological innovations in liposuction offer our patients personalized options to achieve their aesthetic goals more effectively and safely. It is essential to consult with our plastic surgeons to determine, on an individual basis, the best type of liposuction for each patient.

Procedure
The liposuction procedure is performed through small incisions of approximately 2-3 mm, through which localized fat is extracted from different parts of the body (abdomen, thighs, arms, back, etc.) using cannulas.

This procedure is always performed in conjunction with liposuction and can be combined with other body or breast procedures.

Recovery
The final result of liposuction or liposculpture may be visible weeks or months after the surgical procedure. It is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle, along with proper nutrition and exercise.

Postoperative therapies are indispensable after liposuction/liposculpture. Our team of plastic surgeons will guide you to ensure an optimal recovery.
