What is the difference between Liposuction Liposculpture and Lipoaspiration?
Liposuction and Liposculpture are quasi synonyms, although they do have some differences as shown below. · Liposuction: is the removal of medium to large amounts of contour fat to reduce the peaks and mounds that portray a heavy and sloppy appearance. These include areas such as below the chin, upper arms, outer breasts, lower abdomen, flanks, hips, and thighs. · Liposculpture: is the removal of small to medium amounts of fat in rather normal to full areas to sharpen features, accentuate the muscles beneath and create a more cut appearance in the neck, lower cheeks, upper abdomen, outer buttocks, calves, and ankles. Some plastic surgeons refer to Liposculpture when the fat removed its use to refill sunken areas (Lipofilling or Lipostructure), to obtain a global remodeling of the areas to be treated.

What is the degree of risk with Liposuction or Liposculpture?
The risks of Liposuction/Liposculpture in healthy people are those common to all surgical procedures (reactions to the anesthetic, infections, etc.), but complications are very rare. It is, however, necessary to operate with the proper precautions: suitable clinics, assistance with the anesthetic even in procedures performed under local anesthetic, and the use of a general anesthetic in more extensive Liposuctions (giving too much anesthetic risks being toxic). The swelling technique and the use of fine cannulas guarantee the best results with very little bleeding.
Is it better to go on a diet before having Liposuction OR Liposculpture?
It is useless to go on an extenuating diet before having Liposuction, and then in the following months to put on weight. We recommend that our clients have the surgery when they think they have reached the weight they can maintain. In most cases, however, after Liposuction, a series of psychological mechanisms are set in motion which lead clients to be more careful about the way they eat and in taking care of their bodies, so that in the months after surgery, they often experience weight lossand an improvement in their physical condition. These conditions boost the effect of the modeling and firming up of the tissue of the superficial Liposculpture, giving a result which is often greater than expectations.Visit the Related Links below this answer for more info.
Has anybody had tumescent liposculpture Tummy liposuction?
I had tumescent liposculpture on my upper and lower abs, love handles in the front and back (they call this hips). It worked great! I saw final results in 6 months, with improvement along the way. I had a lot of bruising in the waist area, but I was up and caught a plane the next day. The surgery did not keep me bed ridden. I did everything I would normally do in a day. The bruising cleared in a week. After the surgery I dieted off another 8 lbs. With the combination of both, I went from a size 12/14 in jeans down to a size 6, 6 months later. The cost was a fraction of liposuction. I paid $5900 for all areas. The procedure for all 5 areas took about 3 1/2 hours and I was awake through the whole thing. The only painful part during the surgery was when they went near my belly button. They said that was normal. There was no pain in any other part of the abs, hips or waist. What a confidence booster! Everyone thought I had my boobs done, but it was just the upper abs sucked out so it made my chest look better and perkier! A must do if you don't like the way you look.
How do you treat sag skin will it return after fat is removed?
Yes, there is the risk that, where the fat has been removed, the excess skin will sag. However, for this reason, the Cosmetic Surgeon in many clinics prefers Superficial Liposculpture, which - apart from reducing the cushion of fat - increases the skin tone. Moreover, the surgeon has to take into account, at least generally, whether the skin will be elastic enough to adapt to its new condition. Many plastic surgeons prefer thick cannulas because they can remove the fat with less effort. However, many cases have demonstrated that better results are attained with fine cannulas. Additionally, using fine cannulas also assures for less bleeding.
Is Liposculpture or Liposuction right for you?
If you're thinking about Liposuction it is essential that you have realistic expectations about what the procedure can do for you. It's important to understand that, while Liposuction can enhance your appearance and self-confidence, it won't necessarily change your looks to match your ideal or those of others. So before you decide to have surgery, please think carefully about your expectations and do not hesitate to contact your plastic surgeon or Cosmetic Harmony for more information and a free consultation. The best candidates for Liposuction are normal-weight people with firm, elastic skin who have pockets of excess fat in certain areas. You should be physically healthy. Your age is not a major consideration; however, older patients may have diminished skin elasticity and may not achieve the same results as a younger patient with tighter skin. Liposuction carries greater risk for individuals with medical problems such as diabetes, significant heart or lung disease, poor blood circulation, or those who have recently had surgery near the area to be contoured.
Will liposuction of the flanks leave ugly scarring on a person's body?
Liposuction of the flanks usually requires small incisions, resulting in minimal scarring. These incisions are strategically located in discreet areas, such as above the hips, to keep them less visible. The scars are typically small, measuring about 0.5 to 1 cm, and they usually fade over time, becoming less noticeable within 6 months to a year. Following proper post-operative care—such as wearing compression garments, avoiding sun exposure, and using silicone gel sheets—can help further reduce the appearance of scars.
Is liposuction cosmetic surgery painful?
I am 4 weeks post-op (love handles and abs) and just now I am experiencing the pins and needles feeling. I slept (or atleast tried to) for the first time last night without the compression garment and I won't be doing the same tonight. I go for massages every other day, both ultrasound and hand, and they still hurt like crazy. Today was number 18 and I think I'm going to wait for the nerves to finish "waking up." The results are incredible, I had 16 pounds removed (I'm 6'2"), and the love handles are gone, as well as the belly. Would I do it again, yeah, but would dread it greatly. Not to say that misery loves company, but I feel much better to know I am not alone in this long and slow recovery.
How do you loose fat in face?
You lose the fat in your face with the use of liposuction.Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty ("fat modeling"), liposculpture suction lipectomy or simply lipo ("suction-assisted fat removal") is a cosmetic surgery operation that removes fat from many different sites on the human body. Areas affected can range from the abdomen, thighs and buttocks, to the neck, backs of the arms and elsewhere. Several factors limit the amount of fat that can be safely removed in one session. Ultimately, the operating physician and the patient make the decision. There are negative aspects to removing too much fat. Unusual "lumpiness" and/or "dents" in the skin can be seen in those patients "over-suctioned". The more fat removed, the higher the surgical risk.While reports of people removing 50 pounds (22.7 kg or around 3.6 stone) of fat has been claimed, the contouring possible with liposuction may cause the appearance of weight loss to be greater than the actual amount of fat removed. The procedure may be performed under general or local ("tumescent") anesthesia. The safety of the technique relates not only to the amount of tissue removed, but to the choice of anesthetic and the patients overall health. It is ideal for the patient to be as fit as possible before the procedure and not to have smoked for several months.
