What makes Liposculpture different from Liposuction?

Posted By

Most people are familiar with the term "liposuction," a surgical procedure in which a plastic surgeon removes unwanted deposits of body fat. Liposculpture is exactly the same as liposuction, but some people associate liposculpture with more of a high-definition technique of liposuction. Dr. Dass always uses liposculpture techniques during liposuction to carefully sculpt the body and create highly defined results.

Liposculpture is best suited for people that are already very fit, but want improved definition and contours. Fat is selectively removed from certain areas while maintaining some fat in other areas. This artistic technique creates contours and shadows that give the illusion of a much defined body. Liposculpture can be used to enhance the contours on nearly any part of the body, but is typically used on the abdomen, back, thighs, and arms. Dr. Dass will use his artistic skills to produce beautiful results.

The first step in liposuction, involves infusing tumescent solution into the area of treatment. Tumescent solution is a combination of saline, epinephrine (to reduce bleeding and bruising), and lidocaine (a local anesthetic for pain control). Then, he will gently suction out the ideal amount of fatty tissue, based on the previously mapped-out plan. He will continually assess body contour in target areas, during the procedure, for optimal results.

Recovery from liposuction is generally very quick. You should, however, expect some soreness following the procedure. Dr. Dass will talk with you about the best way to manage that discomfort for a few days while you heal. You will wear compression garments for several weeks to reduce swelling and help your skin contract to your body’s new shape.

As your ideal sculpted body begins to come into full view, you’ll understand the importance of trusting the right professional for your liposuction or liposculpture in Los Angeles – Dr. Dennis Dass.
