What’s the difference between liposuction and Liposculpture?
Liposuction allows the body to be sculpted by removing the undesired depot fat from specific areas such as the abdomen, the sides, the bra strap, the thighs, the knees, the upper limbs, the chin, the cheekbones and the neck.Liposculpture derives from liposuction in that it makes use of microcannulas to "sculpt" very selected areas of the body.

Does liposuction produce permanent results?
After liposuction, the new body’s shape is more or less permanent. If a patient does gain a moderate amount of weight after liposuction, then the figure will simply be a larger version of the new body shape. Fat cells that are removed by liposuction do not grow back. If the patient does not gain excessive amounts of weight, then the new more pleasing silhouette is permanent.Back To Top
How much weight can I lose by liposuction?
Patients should not expect to lose a dramatic amount of weight with liposuction. However, because fat is removed from cosmetically important areas, liposuction should produce significant improvements in aesthetic appearance. Although liposuction should not be regarded as a method for weight loss, in appropriate patients it can produce significant cosmetic improvements.Back To Top
Will the fat cells grow back after liposuction?
Liposuction removes fat cells permanently. The fat cells that are removed by liposuction can never come back; however, if the patient gains a significant amount of weight, then new fat cells can develop. With a small weight gain, existing fat cells simply get bigger by accumulating more fat within the existing cell.Back To Top
How much fat can be removed? How many Kilo’s?
The maximum amount of fat that can be removed safely is probably about 3-4 Kilo’s (5litres). The greater the volume of fat removed on a single day the greater the risk of serious complications. If a patient requires removal of more than 3-4 Kilos of fat, it is safest to divide the liposuction into separate surgical procedures each separated by 3 to 4 weeks.Back To Top
How long must I wear a compression garment after surgery?
The length of time that a patient must wear an elastic compression garment depends on the type of aftercare technique preferred by the surgeon. Patients are typically instructed to wear a garment for 2 to 4 weeks.Back To Top
How soon will I see the difference?
Where large volumes of fat are removed, there is generally an early dramatic result - even as the patient gets off the surgery couch! Even removal of more modest volumes results can usually be seen and or felt within the first few days. Improvements will continue more subtlety for up to 6 months.Back To Top
