Q: What is the difference between Liposuction and Liposculpture?
A: When the fat cells are removed, it is critical that the surgeon creates a smooth contour.
Creating this contour or figure for the patient requires the surgeon to remove fat to the right depth in both the area affected and all surrounding areas to avoid the pitfalls of dimpling. This can necessitate the use of multiple liposculpture techniques including tumescent and ultrasonic as well as many sizes of cannulae (instruments).
In Liposculpture, the expertise of the surgeon is more important than any machine or method, as creating the right contour takes many years of experience.
I was at the meeting where liposuction was first introduced by Dr. Illouz from Paris over 25 years ago and have enjoyed great success with these techniques for over two decades.
