Body Sculpting

Body Sculpting procedure can be done with Lipofilling and Liposculpting. Liposculpture (lipomodelling, liposculpture) of the body is a method of correcting body contours by collecting and redistributing fat cells from “problem areas”. 

 

Liposculpture can be used to contour the body, to add definition and improve shape. Liposculpture is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures performed. Lipofilling can be defined as the process of injecting adipose tissues taken from one area of our own body into another area where the need is felt in our own body. It is used in the field of plastic surgery.

With fat injection made with lipofilling, it is applied to lift the eyebrow, to plump the cheekbones and to shape the chin on the face and to enlarge and lift the breasts in the body and to remove the deformities in the legs. 

You can have an aesthetic body with lipofilling treatment. Body sculpting will be convenient and safe for a beautiful body.

What Is Body Sculpting?

Body sculpting called “Liposculpture” (lipomodelling) is also a complex operation for the complex transformation of the body and the creation of the desired figure, with the removal of fat from unwanted fat deposit areas, the creation of beautiful body contours. 

The most important distinction of the liposculpture from the liposuction is it reshapes the body to a desired form. Liposculpture provides good correction of the waist, hips, legs, arms, back and even the face.

The body shapes are corrected and a beautiful relief is created. This procedure can include both vaser liposuction and liposuction with lipofilling. Lipofilling or fat transfer is the possibility of transferring fat to other places to create volume if necessary. 

By aging and gaining weight, localized fat deposits in the body become more and more voluminous. In some areas, on the contrary, over time, a lack of soft tissues is formed, which further disturbs the contours of the face and body.

The optimal solution in such a situation is rightfully considered body liposculpture – body modeling at the expense of its own adipose tissue. In areas with excess adipose tissue, liposuction is performed – fat removal, and in areas with insufficient volume – lipofilling, that is, filling with your own adipose tissue by fat transfer.

Liposuction will not help with general obesity. However, it is the most effective method for reducing localized fat deposits. In the classic version, it assumes the presence of incisions through which tissue is removed from the fat traps. The main correction zones are the chin area, sagging areas of soft tissues in the lower jaw area, as well as shoulders, abdomen, lateral surfaces of the body, inner thighs, breeches, knees, and calves.

People often want to look slimmer or choose body shaping to achieve a beautiful body. Body Sculpting surgery will help your body to get in shape.

It is not always possible to help lose weight and do sports in order to shape the body. Surgical operations can be more effective and permanent at this point and help people more. It also treats loose and wrinkled skin caused by aging.

Types of Liposuction for Body Sculpting 

Traditional (vacuum dry) surgical liposuction is rarely used, today more modern types are preferred like vaser and laser Liposuction. Each technique is used for specific indications.

Vaser liposuction is preferred for areas with thin or overstretched skin, such as the inner thighs and abdomen. Vaser liposuction has other advantages – it is less traumatic due to the use of thin cannulas and is applicable to any area.

Often, liposuction is used as an auxiliary procedure when performing abdominoplasty, face and neck lift, and correction of curvature of the legs. 

The removed fat cells are not restored, therefore the pronounced aesthetic effect of liposuction is achieved in one procedure.

Depending on the volume of the intervention, liposuction is performed under local or general anesthesia.

With small volumes of fat removed, the operation is performed on an outpatient basis, with fat volumes of more than one liter or a large number of zones, hospitalization is required for one day. After the operation, the patient must wear special compression garments for 2–4 weeks.

Vaser Liposuction is the most advanced and most effective liposuction method today. Usually, the difference from classical liposuction is that it increases the effectiveness by using ultrasound (sound wave) energy during application.

When Vaser liposuction is performed, fats are broken down and aspirated in a liquid way using ultrasonic sound waves. Therefore, there is no wavy surface appearance that can be seen after classical liposuction. 

Vaser targets only fat cells. Vaser liposuction also does not damage tissues such as connective tissue, vessels and nerves. With this method, less pain, swelling and bruising are observed. In this way, patients can quickly return to their daily lives.

Since ultrasonic sound waves are used in this method, the received fats and the stem cells in it are not damaged. If desired, they can be used for other necessary parts of the body. This method can be applied to areas such as the buttock, legs inside of the knee, back, abdomen, waist and breasts. 

Do Sound Waves Damage the Skin in Vaser Liposuction?

• Vaser Liposuction is the most effective method to remove fat without damaging it, as it has a feature that only targets fat tissues while protecting other tissues. 
• Vaser acts only on fats with sound waves. 
• Pain after surgery is very minimal, as it does not damage the nerves. 
• After the operation, it becomes very quick and easy to return to everyday life. 
• Vaser liposuction, unlike laser liposuction, does not create heat, so heat damage does not occur in the surrounding tissue, the risk of edema is lower. And it is a safe method. 
• After the operation, the edema becomes less compared to other methods and there is an early recovery.
• Harvested fats after Vaser liposuction can be used as a filler. The fats taken with this method can be used for breast augmentation, butt lift, and as face filler purposes at the same time. 
• Vaser Liposuction in combination with a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) gives very good results. In tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) operations performed together with Vaser Liposuction, there is a chance to safely perform liposuction and shape the entire waist, back and abdomen. 
• With this method, the surgeon can perform the operation he wants without damaging the vessels and nerves and gives the patient very successful results.

Non-Surgical Body Sculpting Method

Besides surgical Body Sculpting procedure there is also non-surgical Body Sculpting procedure called ‘lipolysis’. This procedure is done in mild cases and for the patients who have less stubborn fat in different parts of their bodies such as chin, abdomen, legs, arms, etc.

To get good results we recommend  doing at least 3 sessions. The session takes around 45 minutes and it can be done under local anesthetic medications. The main logic of the Lipolysis is applying the ultrasound waves or mesotherpies to the targeted areas to break the fat deposits.

Lipolysis is an effective regional fat melting method. 

Who needs Body Sculpting?

Most women, after reaching a certain age or after pregnancy, notice that excess deposits have appeared on the waist, hips and buttocks, which cannot be eliminated.

Men, and especially often former professional athletes, may show signs of abdominal obesity, muscular dystrophy, and “feminine” roundness. If fatty tissue is deposited in the so-called “depots”, then it is, unfortunately, almost impossible to get rid of it with the help of intense physical exercises, diets and body wraps.

It is possible to recreate and improve your body, to return it to a fit, slim and athletic shape with the help of liposculpture. Today it is one of the fastest, safest and most comprehensive solutions to body shape problems in plastic surgery.

Body Sculpting for Man

Body sculpting in men is accomplished with surgical methods that address gynecomastia, excess fat in the abdomen and body sculpting problems. 

Most men work hard to avoid the dangers of excess belly fat by eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly. The areas where fats are collected are usually the belly, waist circumference, breasts and neck.

The swelling in the belly of men is due to intra-abdominal fat. Therefore, it is recommended that patients lose weight first. When they approach their ideal weight and men who do not have intra-abdominal fat are suitable for liposuction.

By using Vaser in the breasts of men, successful results are obtained if gynecomastia is due to fat deposits. While the breasts of men are reduced, the chest muscles are reshaped with fat injections and they can take on an athletic appearance.

Men’s chin and neck sculpting is more advantageous. Thick male neck skin tightens easily after liposuction. With this procedure, men’s jowl problems can be prevented by fat injections to the chin tip and around the chin.

Body Sculpting for Women

Body sculpting is a safe and effective way for women. It is a medical procedure that is performed in addition to programs such as diet and exercise.

Body sculpting also known as body contouring or liposuction, is used in the following areas: 

• Abdomen
• Back / bra area
• Thighs / legs
• Chin
• Arms

Your surgery is performed under general anesthesia in a hospital. They remove unwanted fat cells from problem areas and replace them with healthy ones. Our goal here is not only to remove fat, but also to tighten the skin around it.

What are the Features of the Body Sculpting?

In terms of its aesthetic result, body liposculpture is superior to liposuction. Liposculpture is performed in several stages: 

• Fat tissue grafted with the high-definition liposuction can give a new contour to body;
• The collected fat tissue is purified from the blood, redundant tissue and liquids; 
• Fat İnjection performed to wanted areas to reshape body

Body Reshaped by the Lipofilling and Liposculpture

The surgical process is truly comparable to the artistic act of sculpting the perfect athletic human body. Body shaping with the liposuction in another words lipomodelling of the body is one of the most famous and popular operations in the world, widespread among men (especially bodybuilders) and women who strive to achieve aesthetic perfection and not worry about the “roller” on the stomach, “double chin” or love handles. 

In our clinic, body liposculpture is performed by plastic surgeons who are professionals in this technique and can evaluate  with high accuracy how much adipocytes (fat cells) will be absorbed after fat injection, how much will be permanent and will delight you with an impressive result. 

We use new generation equipment), which allows us to achieve a number of aesthetic advantages – minimal trauma to tissues and blood vessels, as well as to avoid pronounced irregularities and tubercles formed by subcutaneous fat after the operation, in other words, cellulite, which used to be remained visible after classical liposuction. 

Moreover, it is known that own adipocytes contain stem cells that start the process of tissue regeneration, stimulate the production of fibroblasts, collagen and elastin fibers, help rejuvenate and moisturize the skin, and smooth wrinkles.

This is another plus of the lipofilling technique. With the lipofilling method, you can have a very beautiful appearance on your face, cheeks and chin area, your body, and your breasts. Lipofilling method is highly preferred by women to achieve a beautiful appearance.

As soon as the patient is in the patient room, the nurses accompany her there and, at the same time, start a medical record. A nurse comes to the room for a preoperative examination.

Then the anesthesiologist comes to the room, who evaluates the test results, the conclusion of the nurse, examines the patient and draws up an anesthesia plan. 

After them comes the turn of the plastic surgeon. The doctor talks with the patient, once again answers all questions regarding the operation, the postoperative period, the result of the operation and takes pictures of the patient. 

Taking photographs is an important step in preoperative preparation. Photos “before” and “after” the operation must be included in the patient’s medical record to assess the results of the intervention. 

After photographing, the surgeon makes the markings. Then the nurses perform premedication, which includes sedatives, antibacterial drugs and, in some cases, drugs for the prevention of thrombosis, after which the patient is dressed in surgical underwear and escorted to the operating room.

During Body Liposculpture Surgery

The first stage is liposuction, taking into account further fat transfer. This means that the fat is taken up by the small diameter cannulas at minimum negative pressure.

When the amount of fat necessary for further fat transfer has been taken away, a vacuum apparatus is connected and further liposuction takes place according to the standard liposuction technique. The second stage is fat transfer. It can be done with the classic fat injection method.   

After Body Liposculpture Surgery
