A Basic Liposculpture Guide
Liposuction has become a popular choice for both women and men seeking to reshape and redefine specific areas of the body. Many people are familiar with this surgical procedure used to suck out the fat cells from the body, but are unaware that without the proper sculpting and defining, the results can be disastrous. That’s where liposculpture comes into play. It is the fine art of using liposuction to remove just the right amount of fat in just the right places to create a smooth, natural result.
Tumescent liposculpture involves injecting saline fluids containing a local anesthetic, epinephrine and sodium bicarbonate directly into the area to be treated. The benefits of this procedure are that it typically decreases the need for stronger, more risky anaesthetics, it causes a slight swelling of the tissues making fat cell removal easier, and it reduces blood loss by constricting the arteries. This method of anesthesia is also gentler on the liver.
Liposculpture prices definitely vary by doctor and by case. The average cost is around $5800. Be sure to check with your doctor on specific prices and payment expectations.
Laser liposculpture is different in that it uses a laser to melt the fat cells. This process can be non-invasive if the melted fat is left in the body to be absorbed over time into the bloodstream, or it can be removed surgically by regular liposuction. Many feel the procedure is limited in its effectiveness as it does not remove as many fat cells as traditional liposuction.
