Liposculpture is the removal of excess fat with a thin, straw-like instrument called a micro cannula, which is attached to an aspirator machine. Thin micro cannulas are used to dislodge the fat from its web-like gristle supports under the skin. The aspirator then suctions the fat away. An elastic garment is then worn to compress the skin on the underlying tissues. The result is a re-sculpting of bulging areas into more attractive contours.

The thin micro cannulas (1-2mm diameter) allow for a more comfortable procedure and a more even result, with less bruising and smaller incision holes.

Your doctor will also review alternative treatment options and explain the possible risks and complications that may occur. Photographs are often taken before and after surgery to evaluate the amount of improvement.
