Body contouring
Liposculpture removes selected deposits of subcutaneous fat to improve contour and transitions between body areas. It does not treat obesity, visceral fat, cellulite or significant loose skin, and it cannot guarantee perfectly smooth or symmetrical contours.
The best candidates have relatively stable weight, localized fat, reasonable skin elasticity and health suitable for surgery. Significant skin excess may require an excisional procedure rather than liposuction alone.
The consultation reviews body-mass changes, pregnancies, previous surgery, hernias, skin quality, medical conditions and thromboembolic risk. The number of areas, aspirate volume, anaesthesia and whether procedures can be combined safely are determined individually.
Swelling, bruising, fluid drainage, firmness and altered sensation are common. Compression garments may be recommended. Final contour becomes clearer as swelling resolves and tissues soften. Weight gain, pregnancy and skin ageing can change the result.
Possible complications include bleeding, infection, seroma, contour irregularity, asymmetry, skin laxity, pigmentation change, sensory disturbance, fat necrosis, fluid imbalance, anaesthetic complications and blood clots. Rare serious complications can occur, particularly with extensive or combined surgery.
Send well-lit front, side and back photographs, together with your height, weight, weight stability, previous operations, pregnancies and medical history.
