Winter Operation - Liposculpture (Wentworth Courier-May 2005)
With winter months looming, the rate of people seeking liposcuction is on the rise. With more people in Sydney becoming fitness savy through their "personal trainer" and attending "Boot Camps", the profile of patients seeking liposcuction is rapidly changing.
Liposculpture is now the main request for these gym goers who are in the 20 to 40 age profile with good skin tone and essentially seeking surgery for improving difficult areas such as "outer thighs" (women) or the troublesome "lovehandles" (men).
Liposculpture has evolved from liposcuction over the last ten years. Along with augmentation, the aim is to improve a woman’s figure in a curvaceous way and add to the length of her legs in a more shapely way. Men benefit also by gaining a more V-shaped masculine figure.
Liposcuction is currently the most frequently requested Cosmetic Surgery procedure. First developed in the late 1970s by Ilouz of France, Liposcuction has been refined from a crude extraction of fat by heavy diameter rods attached to a mechanical suction pump to a gentle surgical procedure using slender blunt suction tips to gently remove fat with the skill of a sculptor.
Liposcuction or Liposculpture has been applied to many other Cosmetic Surgery procedures including Facelift , Necklift , Breast Reduction and Breast Reconstruction, and for shaping the trunk during major procedures such as Tummy Tuck and Arm or Thigh Lift surgeries. This in addition to well-known shaping of the trunk and legs.
Liposcuction is not a viable weight loss technique, Liposuction is no longer used to remove Litres of fat from some one who is otherwise Obese. Instead it has evolved to an operation where the aim is to create curves and shape in those whom diet and exercise has not achieved optimal result.
