What is the difference between liposuction and liposculpture?

For those who wish to highlight their silhouette, both liposuction and liposculpture may be options. Find out the difference between the procedures

If you are looking for plastic surgery to enhance your silhouette, do you know the difference between liposuction and liposculpture? The former is usually better known and is an option to improve body contouring.

Liposuction

It is important to underline that liposuction is recommended for people close to their ideal weight. That is, they have that fat that doesn’t come off with diet or exercise. “Therefore, it is not a procedure for weight loss or weight loss,” emphasizes the Dr. José Montedonioplastic surgeon and member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP).

People closer to their weight and with up-to-date physical activity can achieve more noticeable and visible muscles with liposuction, called Lipo Lad (high definition liposuction) or Lipo HD.

However, it is important to note that overweight people need to develop good lifestyle habits and lose weight before undergoing surgery. This is because fat fills the skin, and therefore, liposuction can make the skin more saggy. “So the surgery, in this case, is not ideal for losing weight or treating flaccidity, since there is a risk that the person will become more flaccid,” warns the plastic surgeon.

Liposculpture

Liposculpture occurs when fat is removed from one place and transferred to another. “For example, a little fat from your belly going to your butt, or a little on your hand. In this case this technique is useful due to the presence of stem cells that rejuvenate the back of the hand. Furthermore, it is also possible to place it on the face to treat Chinese mustaches, or in the malar region to make the face fuller”, explains Dr. Josué.

Remember that fat is a tissue that can be useful in multiple places. “In this way liposculpture modifies the contour of the body. This is always performed with great care so as not to aspirate too much or produce results that could compromise the patient’s health”, concludes the specialist.
