Liposculpture is surgery to improve the contour of your body by removing pockets of excess fat from specific areas of the body. “Lipo” originates from Greek word “lipos,” meaning fat. It is also sometimes called as “fat removing” or “suctioning”.

Liposculpture and liposuction are popular types of cosmetic surgery as they help patients better shape their overall body. Body Contouring is becoming increasingly popular as diet and exercise is often not enough for fat removal. In the high growth markets of San Francisco or New York Liposuction is pretty popular; and it is catching up in the relatively smaller cities as well.

However, liposculpture is a serious surgical procedure and involves often reportedly a painful recovery. Hence it is very important to approach a qualified surgeon who is well experienced, capable and understands your specific needs. Don’t go solely by cost, this is a serious operation and needs to be treated as such. But the results can be dramatic, especially in the hands of a skilled plastic surgeon.

Some of the questions you may ask during your initial consultation are :

• How many surgeries have you done?
• Where will be the surgery? Can I see the premises?
• What are the pre-operative procedures and post operation steps?
• Anything specific to my body I need to know?
• Which liposuction procedure will I need?     and so on…

What is important is whether the Liposculpture surgeon you choose is right for you.
