LIPOSCULTURE

At Egepol we use an advanced method called Ultrasonic Assisted Syringe Lipoplasty. In the Ultrasonic Method local anesthetic is injected to the fat tissue area.

Liposculpture (Lipoplasty) / Fat removal/ Body Contouring
Lipoplasty is very beneficial for women and men who are of normal weight but have isolated pockets of fat that cause certain areas of their body to appear disproportionate. These fat deposits may sometimes be inherited and generally do not respond to dieting or exercise. Lipoplasty is often the only way to eliminate them. While it is possible to undergo lipoplasty at almost any age, you will obtain the best results if your skin still has enough elasticity to achieve a smooth contour following fat removal. When skin is inelastic, as in some older patients, it may not restore well and a skin tightening procedure may be necessary.

If you’re considering this procedure…
At Egepol we use an advanced method called Ultrasonic Assisted Syringe Lipoplasty. 
In the Ultrasonic Method local anesthetic is injected to the fat tissue area. The fat is then liquefied by sound waves which are very effective in reducing bleeding, bruising and swelling. This technique is less traumatic to the skin and other soft tissue especially as small micro cannula syringes are used to suction the fat.

What it does do
Liposculpture contours specific parts of the body

What it does not do
Liposculpture should not be considered as the only means of reducing weight (although it can) or as a cure for cellulite.

Body areas where Liposculpture is most effectively applied:
Body Lift - more extensive procedure
Thigh Lift - more extensive than lipoplasty of the thighs
Lower & Upper abdomen (tummy)
Hips
Outer & Inner thighs
Love Handle
Stomach
Upper arm
Lower back
Buttock
Lower legs- calf
Male Breast - Under GA an incision is made in the lower part of the area surrounding the nipple. If the problem is caused by excess fat, this will then be removed by lipoclastic, otherwise glandular tissue will need to be removed.

After Procedure
Depending on the lipoplasty areas treated: bandages, a garmet or specialized sticky tapes applied to reduce swelling will be worn. Also, for certain procedures a corset provided by Egepol will be worn for 3-6 weeks.

Before the procedure
How much you currently weigh and whether you plan to lose or gain weight in the future will be factors in evaluating you for lipoplasty. Your Egepol surgeon may ask you about the effects of prior weight loss on the appearance of those areas which you have indicated for contouring. The surgeon will assess the elasticity of your skin and estimate the amount of fat to be removed for optimal results.

Length of time results last
Case to case basis.
