Nowadays, both men and women often suffer from abnormal body fat distribution, called lipodystrophy. As a result Liposuction / Liposculpture is one of the most popular operations worldwide.
Liposuction removes local fat from various areas of the body ( such as buttocks, thighs, waist, arms, abdomen ), whereas with Liposculpture the fat that has been removed from the affected areas is properly processed and transferred to other areas where needed.
In the majority of the cases a combination of PAL – Power Assisted Liposuction and VASER ( Ultrasound based ) Liposuction is used in order to achieve the optimal result.
A successful liposuction is considered one where the right amount of fat is removed to avoid skin loosening. The maximum amount of fat removal is up to 5 liters of pure fat. The scars that are made are very small (2-3mm) and well hidden so barely visible.
