We have put together some of the most Frequently Asked Questions regarding Liposculpture:

What is Liposculpture?
Liposuction surgery for fat removal and body sculpting has been available for over 25 years. Liposculpture is a newer, safer form of liposuction involving the removal of fat through thin metal tubes using very small incisions. The removal of fat occurs using a suction pump to suck out fat from the areas to be improved. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia.

How is Liposculpture different from conventional Liposuction?
Liposculpture is a dramatic improvement over traditional methods in safety and efficiency. Older liposuction techniques have been associated with some problems most significantly with general anaesthesia. Liposculpture is less invasive, requires less time and can be performed under local anaesthetic.

Which areas can Liposculpture target?
Virtually any area of fat accumulation can be treated with this technique. Women most commonly wish to remove ’saddlebags’ from their outer thighs, but treatment of the abdomen, inner thighs, knees and hips are just as commonly performed. In men, these include the abdomen, ‘love handles’ above the hips and the breast area.

Is Liposculpture safe?
There is minimal amount of blood loss and the recovery time is short as the procedure causes less trauma. Older patients are often very good candidates unlike with traditional liposuction. The end result is a safer treatment with better aesthetic results.

How long do I need to recover?
Many patients can return to work in 1-2 days and do limited exercise in 3-4 days. We will advise you of your expected recovery time after assessing you.
