How Do Liposuction & Liposculpting Work?

Liposuction was first performed in 1974 and its use marked a significant improvement over previously used surgical body contouring techniques. There have been many advances in liposuction procedures over the last few decades, making it one of the safest and most popular body contouring surgeries in the world.

Liposculpting is a refinement of traditional liposuction, emphasizing not only fat removal but also the artistic reshaping of the body’s contours. The goal of liposculpting is to achieve smoother transitions between treated and untreated areas, resulting in a more sculpted and defined appearance.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

The ideal candidates for liposuction and liposculpting are individuals who are in good overall health and have realistic expectation. Candidates must be at or near their ideal body weight with excess fat that is resistant to diet and exercise.

Liposuction Consultation

A liposuction consultation is the first step on the journey toward the sculpted contours you’ve always envisioned. The board-certified experts at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, renowned for their surgical expertise and personalized approach, will listen to your needs and then tailor a strategy to achieve your aesthetic goals.

What to Expect During Liposuction and Liposculpting

The process begins with small strategically placed incisions, through which a thin tube called a cannula is gently introduced. Targeted fat cells are carefully extracted, allowing for the harmonious restoration of your body’s natural lines. During liposculpting, the doctor uses specialized techniques not only to remove unwanted fat but to also enhances curves, symmetry, and proportions.

Recovery After Liposuction

During the recovery period following liposuction, swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are to be expected, but these gradually diminish over a week or so. A compression garment will be recommended to minimize downtime and support your newly contoured shape.

While individual experiences vary, most patients can resume light activities within a few days and return to work within a week. As your body heals, you’ll witness the gradual unveiling of your sculpted results, which continue to refine over several weeks.
