Liposculpture

Liposculpture is a more refined method of removing body fat than liposuction. The instruments are smaller and the procedure is gentler, allowing for detailed body contouring that facilitates the best shape possible for any given individual. It is best done with tumescent anaesthesia using local anaesthetics which infiltrate only the parts of the body that require reshaping. Sedation is always given to enhance the comfort. You may be surprised at how painless the whole procedure is.

Though liposculpture is more time consuming, it allows the surgeon to achieve the best possible results. Liposculpture is a much more involved procedure than simple liposuction, requiring patience, a pair of keen eyes, the artistic flair of an artist and the hands of a sculptor. Add perfectionism to this list and you have an excellent liposculpture surgeon.

Liposculpture can be carried out on several areas at the same time. Indeed, for best results, and to allow the feathering of one area into the next, it may be recommended that several areas be done in the same procedure in some cases.

Injection Lipolysis

Injection lipolysis can be used safely and effectively to reduce cellulite and promote fat loss. Micro-injections made directly into cellulite-affected areas to block fat deposits, trigger fat release and increase circulation. Patients can expect areas to remain free of unwanted cellulite as long as a healthy diet and exercise program are maintained. Some cellulite treatments may need maintenance on a six-monthly to annual basis.

Almost anyone in good health between the ages of 18-75 can be treated using injection lipolysis. However, the treatment is not recommended for people who are insulin dependent diabetics, pregnant or have a history of stroke, recent cancer, blood clots or heart disease.
