Lipoplasty / Liposculture
Cosmetic Surgery - Plastic Surgery - Aesthetic Medicine - Reconstructive Surgery
Lipoplasty (or liposculpture) is a lipoaspiration (or liposuction)
procedure in which the qualified plastic surgeon will sculpt the
subcutaneous fat to reduce its thickness, bringing it back to the size
of neighboring regions and thus obtaining a homogeneous appearance. The
qualified plastic surgeon will assess the capacity of the skin to
retract, avoiding the creation of unwanted creases or waves by
changing the unbalanced container/thing contained ratio.
To achieve this, the plastic surgeon uses micro-fine cannulas and
makes cross paths to redefine curves and body silhouette so as to bring
them as close as possible t to the patient's desired look.
Regardless of their weight, individuals may have localized fat
deposits with thickening of the layer of fat under the skin, causing
deformities in the form of "balls" or rolls of fat compared to
neighbouring areas , and modifying the body silhouette. Weight loss
generally has little influence on these fat deposits.
Lipoplasty (or liposculpture) is a surgical procedure that will allow
excess fat to be aspirated and reduced. The best results are obtained
when three conditions are met: localized not diffuse excess fat, enough
skin elasticity to allow the skin fully to retract and weight close to
normal.
Lipoaspiration (or liposuction) does not treat excess weight or
obesity. In fact after surgery the total weight of the person will be
only slightly changed. However, volume removal at specific locations
will transform the body shape.
Liposuction is not a technique for weight loss or treatment of obesity
and the ideal is to maintain a stable weight after surgery.
Only a qualified and competent plastic surgeon is able to perform a
lipoplasty (or lipostructure) in a regular fashion, without creating
holes or bumps and knowing the ability of the skin of the patient to
shrink so as to achieve the desired result.
Do not forget that liposuction, performed in many cases for purely
aesthetic reasons, is a surgical procedure with all the risks
associated with any medical procedure (anaesthesia and surgery) even
when carried out under the most favourable circumstances, that is to
say by a qualified plastic surgeon. Without overstating the risk, a
proportion of risks exist. Turning to a qualified plastic surgeon can
prevent complications or help to treat them effectively.
