Liposculpture

What is Liposculpture?

Liposculpture is an advanced aesthetic procedure that removes excess fat and reshapes body contours to achieve a more sculpted and balanced silhouette. Unlike traditional liposuction, this refined technique allows for precise sculpting of specific areas, creating a more defined and harmonious appearance.

Dr. Segovia uses cutting-edge techniques to personalize each procedure, respecting the natural anatomy of the body and enhancing its ideal proportions.

Why Choose Liposculpture?

Many people, despite maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise, have difficulty eliminating localized fat deposits in certain areas of the body. Liposculpture offers an effective solution for these cases.

Main benefits:

• Eliminates fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
• Improves body proportion and harmony
• Defines and highlights natural musculature
• More natural results than traditional liposuction
• Enhances self-esteem and confidence in body image

Areas Treatable with Liposculpture

This versatile technique can be applied to various areas of the body:

Common areas:

• Abdomen and waist (creating a more defined waistline)
• Hips and love handles (eliminating unwanted bulges)
• Inner and outer thighs
• Arms (eliminating sagging in the area)
• Back (smoothing out folds)
• Double chin and facial contour

"Muscle definition" technique

A specialized application of liposculpture is muscle definition, which:

• Highlights the abdominals creating a "six-pack" effect
• Defines pectorals in men
• Accentuates deltoids and biceps for more toned arms
• Sculpts quads and calves

Liposculpture Methods

Dr. Segovia masters various advanced techniques:

Tumescent liposculpture

Uses a special solution that facilitates fat extraction, reduces bleeding, and minimizes discomfort. It's the foundation technique for more advanced procedures.

VASER Liposculpture

Employs ultrasonic technology to selectively break down fat cells while preserving important surrounding tissues such as blood vessels and nerves, allowing for faster recovery and better results.

HD Liposculpture (High Definition)

Advanced technique that not only removes fat but sculpts the body to reveal underlying musculature, creating definition similar to that of an athletic body.

Liposculpture with fat transfer

Combines fat extraction with its reimplantation in areas that need more volume, such as buttocks (Brazilian Butt Lift), pectorals, or face.

The Liposculpture Process

Initial Consultation

The journey to your new silhouette begins with a personalized evaluation:

• Complete analysis of your body composition
• Identification of problem areas and desired goals
• Assessment of your skin elasticity and muscle structure
• Creation of a personalized plan according to your anatomy
• Detailed explanation of the procedure and expected results

Preparation for Surgery

To optimize your safety and results:

• Complete preoperative exams
• Avoid blood-thinning medications for 2 weeks (with medical authorization)
• Stop tobacco consumption at least one month before
• Maintain adequate hydration
• Follow specific nutritional guidelines
• Prepare your home for a comfortable recovery period

During the Procedure

Liposculpture typically:

• Is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent
• Takes between 2-5 hours depending on the areas to be treated
• Begins with small 3-5mm incisions strategically located
• Uses specialized cannulas to remove and sculpt fat
• May include the use of advanced technology such as ultrasound or laser
• Ends with the closure of incisions and the placement of compression garments

Recovery

After the procedure:

• You'll experience swelling and possible discomfort controllable with medication for the first 48 hours
• You'll need to wear compression garments for 4-6 weeks
• You can resume light activities in 3-5 days
• Return to office work is usually possible in 5-7 days
• You should avoid intense exercise for 3-4 weeks
• You'll have lymphatic drainage and specialized massages to optimize results

Results and Expectations

The results of liposculpture:

• Begin to be appreciated immediately, although with initial swelling
• Gradually improve during the first 3 months
• Are considered final at approximately 6 months
• Are long-lasting if a healthy lifestyle is maintained
• Include not only volume reduction but improvement in skin texture

It's important to understand that liposculpture is not a weight loss method, but a body contouring technique. The best results are obtained in people close to their ideal weight with good skin elasticity.

Myths and Realities

Myth: Fat returns after liposculpture

Reality: The eliminated fat cells do not come back. However, remaining cells can increase in size if a healthy lifestyle is not maintained. Subsequent weight gain will affect untreated areas more.

Myth: It's a weight loss procedure

Reality: Liposculpture is not a treatment for obesity. It's a body remodeling technique for people close to their ideal weight.

Myth: It causes skin sagging

Reality: A well-performed liposculpture by a specialist like Dr. Segovia considers skin elasticity. In some cases, it can even improve the appearance of the skin thanks to the retraction effect.

Myth: It's the same for all patients

Reality: Each procedure is unique and personalized according to the patient's anatomy, fat distribution, and aesthetic goals.

Complementary Technologies

To optimize results, Dr. Segovia may recommend:

• Radiofrequency to improve skin elasticity
• Vacuum therapy to stimulate lymphatic drainage
• Shock waves to reduce fibrosis
• Pressotherapy to reduce swelling
• Enzyme microinjection to treat irregularities

Liposculpture with Dr. Segovia

Dr. Segovia's approach to liposculpture is characterized by:

• Three-dimensional body evaluation for harmonious results
• Minimally invasive techniques that reduce trauma

Who is a Good Candidate?

Liposculpture is ideal for:

• People close to their ideal weight (BMI less than 30)
• Individuals with localized fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
• Those with good skin elasticity
• People with realistic expectations about results
• Patients without medical conditions that contraindicate surgery

Conclusion

Liposculpture represents an advanced evolution in body contouring techniques, offering more precise and natural results than traditional methods. It's an effective procedure for those looking to improve their silhouette by eliminating localized fat deposits and highlighting their natural anatomy.
