A lot of people are familiar with the term liposuction, yet many remain unfamiliar with a procedure called Liposculpture. The procedures have similarities, but there are important and notable differences between the two. One of the biggest differences is the way the fat is removed from the body by the surgeon during the procedure. The difference in Liposculpture is the fat is not just simply removed from the body; it is sculpted away by the surgeon using specialized techniques. This is the reason many surgeons and patients consider this procedure over traditional liposuction.

The Facts About Liposculpture

The number of patients interested in both liposuction and Liposculpture is continuing to increase, and for good reason! The majority of these individuals are women, but the procedure is effective for men as well. This is an ideal procedure for individuals who are not interested in having a large amount of fat removed. The best candidate wants body contouring or toning in certain stubborn areas.
