Liposuction (liposculpture) is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures worldwide, designed to address stubborn localized fat that does not respond to strict dieting or intensive exercise. It is not a weight-loss method, but a procedure for permanent body contouring.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

What exactly is Liposuction (Liposculpture) and what is the main difference between them?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Liposuction (liposculpture) is the process of removing locally accumulated fat through suction. The essential difference lies in their philosophy:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Liposuction: Focuses on the simple removal of fat from a specific area (e.g. abdomen).
\u2022 Liposculpture: Aims at overall body sculpting and creating a more athletic or feminine contour, often using fat transfer techniques (fat from one area is used to add volume to another, e.g. buttocks \u2013 Brazilian Butt Lift).<\/p>\n

We mainly apply the philosophy of liposculpture to achieve a natural and balanced result.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Who is the ideal candidate for Liposuction (Liposculpture)?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The ideal candidate is someone who:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Has a normal or near-normal body weight (BMI close to normal).
\u2022 Has localized fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise.
\u2022 Has good skin elasticity, which is crucial for proper skin retraction after fat removal.
\u2022 Has realistic expectations.
\u2022 Is in good overall health.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

On which areas of the body can Liposuction (Liposculpture) be applied?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Liposuction (liposculpture) can be applied to almost any area with excess fat:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Abdomen & flanks (love handles)
\u2022 Thighs (inner, outer \u2013 \u201csaddlebags\u201d, front)
\u2022 Buttocks & banana roll
\u2022 Back
\u2022 Arms
\u2022 Chin (double chin) and neck
\u2022 Male chest (gynecomastia)
\u2022 Knees & calves<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How is the Liposuction (Liposculpture) procedure performed?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The procedure performed by Dr. Floros usually includes the following stages:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Anesthesia: Local anesthesia with sedation for small to medium areas, or general anesthesia for multiple areas or large-volume fat removal (mega liposuction).<\/p>\n

\u2022 Tumescent solution: Before fat removal, a special solution (saline with analgesic and vasoconstrictive agents) is injected. This minimizes blood loss, reduces postoperative swelling, and protects the skin from irregularities.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL): Very fine microcannulas (1.8\u20132 mm in diameter) that vibrate automatically are used. Thousands of pulsating movements per minute allow the cannula to glide easily through fatty tissue with minimal resistance.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Targeted sculpting: The PAL technique provides superior control and precision, making it ideal even for fibrous areas such as the waist (love handles) and back (bra fat).<\/p>\n

\u2022 Closure & recovery: After fat removal, the tiny incisions are closed with fine sutures. A special compression garment is immediately applied to help the skin adhere properly and accelerate healing.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
