Liposculpture of the Body
Goal: Recontouring the body figure by removing excessive fat from different parts of the body: hips, back, upper abdomen, buttocks, knees, ancles etc. Removed fat can be filtrated and reused as fat injections to correct skin irregularities, impressions, wrinkles, thin lips, cheeks, bottom enhancement etc. and lost at least two cloth sizes.
Surgical technique: Through small stab skin incisions using special thin cannulas, fat is aspirated. Cannulas can be different in size and shape (2-6 mm in diameter) in order to remove fat from different layers equally. Prior to aspiration, infiltration of fat with saline solution, adrenaline and local anesthetic can be performed for comfort of the patient and prevention of complications.
