Liposuction is a popular procedure for areas of fat that are difficult
to remove. Liposculpture refers to the method in which the areas
of fat removal are blended with adjacent regions in an anatomically
appropriate way. The patient is required to wear compressive garments
for 2 weeks to achieve optimum results.
It is important not to remove fat too close to the dermis to decrease
the likelihood of visible irregularities. Some people advertise
“scarless liposuction”. There is no such thing! Any
time a cannula penetrates the dermis a scar is formed although in
most cases this is difficult to detect.
