What Is Liposculpture?

Liposculpture is the removal of excess fat with a thin straw-like instrument called a micro cannula that 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 resculpting of bulging areas into more attractive contours. The thin micro-cannulas (1-2mm diameter) allow for a more comfortable procedure, a more even result, with less bruising and smaller incision holes.
