Liposculpture

Liposculpture reshapes specific areas of the body: it removes localized excess fat and can transfer it to areas that call for volume, such as the buttocks. It is a contour-refinement procedure — not a weight-loss method.

Goals of the procedure

  • Treat localized fat resistant to diet and exercise

  • Sculpt the contour of the abdomen, flanks, back, and thighs

  • Transfer the body's own fat to areas that call for volume, when indicated

  • Pursue a more defined, well-proportioned silhouette

Every surgical procedure involves risks. An individual evaluation with a plastic surgeon is essential to determine the appropriate treatment for each case.

Frequently asked questions

What patients usually ask.

What is the difference between liposuction and liposculpture?

Liposuction removes localized fat; liposculpture adds the possibility of grafting that fat into other areas, sculpting the body's contour as a whole.

Is it a way to lose weight?

No. The procedure addresses contour and localized fat — it does not replace diet, exercise, or weight-loss treatments. Ideally, your weight should be stable.

Can the fat come back?

The removed cells do not return, but the remaining ones can increase in volume with weight gain. Healthy habits help maintain the contour achieved.

What about anesthesia and hospital stay?

They depend on the extent of the procedure and the pre-anesthetic evaluation. The approach is defined by the surgeon together with the anesthesia team.

Will I need to wear a compression garment?

Generally, yes. Wearing a compression garment and lymphatic drainage massage are usually part of the post-operative instructions, as prescribed by the surgeon.

The next step

Discuss Liposculpture with a surgeon.

The right decision begins with a good conversation. Bring your questions: an individual evaluation is the first step of any plan.
