Liposculpture
Liposuction - Lipoaspiration
We at the Louise Medical Center offer many Cosmetic Surgery services including liposuction (also known as lipoaspiration or liposculpture). This method of cosmetic surgery breaks up and "sucks" fat from various possible parts of the body, most commonly the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, neck, chin, upper and backs of the arms, calves, and back. The fat is removed through a hollow instrument - a cannula - which is inserted under the skin. A powerful, high-pressure vacuum is applied to the cannula. This type of surgery is successful for deep fat tissue removal (cellulitis) resistant to diets.
Indeed liposuction is by far the best technique to effectively remove undesirable deposits of body fat in specific parts of the body. However, It is not an overall weight-loss method - it is not a treatment for obesity. The aim is only esthetic - the patient wishes to change and enhance the contour of his/her body. It can alter the shape of a body.
Liposuction can permanently remove fat cells from the body. However, if the patient does not lead a healthy lifestyle after the operation there is a risk that the remaining fat cells grow bigger. A healthy diet is very important.
It is paramount that you choose an operating physician that is a member of the Medical Practitioner Society of Plastic Surgeons. Because Liposuction is a surgical procedure we at LMC give you the best licensed surgeons to carry out this procedure. In some cases, we advise non-surgical technique such as endermology instead of liposuction (if the area to be treated is minor).
