1. What is Liposculture?
Liposculture is a method to improve the body`s contour by liposuction and it consists of three important principles: the small diameters of the cannulas, the supeficial layer of fat where the procedure is done and the possibility of to transplantate the fat in order to fill and reshape some areas of the body
The cannulas must be extremely fine as 3mm no more than 4mm. These small cannulas allows to work in a very superficial layer of the fat without let depressions on the skin. When vacuumed only profoundly the fat tissue decreases, but not always happens to be a contour with sinuous lines, the sinuousosity necessary in the waist and buttocks in order to reach a female contour. When the taking of fat is done in the most superficial layers the necessary amount to be removed, to give an outcome, is less than in the deepest one . In other hand ,vacuuming first the superficial layers and going deeply , bit by bit, from the outside to inside, gives more control of the shape wished than if vacuuming it profoundly , exactly as a sculptour do on the material wich he is working.
The fat took off by liposuction is not threw away and can be transplanted in order to fills and reshapes parts where volume is needed. The fat transplantated let a very natural outcome, without “cellulites “aspect, and the rate of absorption is about 40% in the buttocks area .The main place reshaped by fat are the buttocks. Once most of the women has got a deep depression in the sidelong of the buttock (the trocantheric depression), which can incredibly improve with the fat transplant, this procedure is very useful and done very often. The buttocks can also be enlarged by fat filling but the results are limited by the fat absorption, so in cases where this augmentation is important the silicone prostheses must be considered.

2. Difference between liposculture and liposuction:
Liposculture is the traditional liposuction done profoundly with no intention of great contour.
The liposculture is the modern procedure of liposuction according to the principles above.

3. To whom is it for?
The liposculture had practically replaced the liposuction in the surgery for body contour. Anyone who may need to contour the body, decreasing fat deposit volume in many areas of it, accentuate the waist, decrease the hips or having more volume in the buttocks can have liposculture. It can be done from adolescence to any age, depending exclusively on how flaccid the patient’s body is.

Frequently asked questions

1- Anesthesia: epidural

2- Hospital admission: 1 day

3- Surgery time: the liposculture takes quite long time once it is a manual procedure, therefore it must be made calm and prudently and with plenty of concentration of the surgeon. The surgeries can take from 2 to 4 hours.

4- What happens in the next week: the patient leaves the clinic, can walk and have shower. The pain is of medium intensity, it is more a discomfort than pain indeed. For example, if the person is sitting without moving he or she will hardly feel pain, but changing position might make it fell something where it was vacuumed. The pain is similar to a muscular pain of a hard gymnastic practice. It is no need to stay in bed, but as the liposuction cause waste of blood proteins and electrolytes it is usual the sensation of weakness, for this reason the patient should avoid leaving home in the first three days after operation and don`t make great physical effort.

5- Place of incisions: the incisions are small, mostly around 7 to 10cm away from the area to be vaccumed. Hardly the incisions are bigger than 3 to 4mm and tend to have good cicatrisation and let incouspicuous scars .

6- Lying down: the patients having fat tranplantation in the buttocks must lay with the stomach down, or sideways for at least 10 days, avoiding direct pressure on this place.

7- Returning to regular activities: should vary accordingly to the extension of the liposuction, small liposuction – only on two or three parts of the body – resting for 48 hours is more than enough. Liposuction which is done in great area of the body, ideally is to be away from work from 5 to 7 days.

8- Precautions after surgery – on the long run: the stitches are taken off within a week and a elastic girdle is wear for at least 45 days. The elastic undergardment can be taken off once a day for resting or washing.
