Liposculpture

The liposculpture means body shaping through liposuction and/or lipofilling in such way that certain areas of the body are outlined. For example, at the abdomen level the fat could be sucked in such manner that it creates the impression of a very well worked abdominal musculature.

Or at the level of pectoral with men, these could be "sculpted" in the above fat tissue. At the buttocks level the same thing could be done by intensive suction at the level of the fold under it and above the buttocks (lumbar region) in such way that per total the buttocks are more prominent. The fat could potentially be taken out to be inserted at the buttocks level in order to increase their volume.

The use of the fat tissue as filling material was imagined and employed for many years, although the results have been discouraging. Since few years the fat transplant practice knows a clear improvement being used today more and more often. The surgical instruments used in this regard also knew some changes, currently the practice being called microlipofilling.
