What is this surgery? |
Cosmetic liposuction
surgery, also known as lipoplasty, lipo-sculpture or body sculpting is a
surgical process of removing fat from the the body. Liposuction procedures help
plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery patients that have locallized fat collections
that can not be lost via traditional weight loss methods. Liposuction surgery
is done for both men and women and is often referred to by many terms including
lipoplasty surgery, lipo scupture and body scupture. Lipoplasty surgery is the
process of "vacuming" these fat deposits that have accumulated under
the skin. These fat deposits generally are left after significant or drastic
weight loss that occurs after pregnancy, adolescence or with natural aging;
these fat deposits may appear as locallized bulges and protusions. Lipoplasty
removes these fat deposits by essentially vacumming the fat from under the skin.
Once surgery is performed on an area of the body fat generally does not return.

What parts of the body can it be used on? |
Liposuction is most often used to sculpt various parts of the body where locallized
fat deposits just can not be lost through exercise or other natural methods
of toning the body, this cosmetic surgery has also been called body sculpting,
breast sculpting or facial sculpting. Bashioum Cosmetic Surgery Center performs
all of these types of surgeries. More information can be found for both men
and women on our pages outlining
body sculpting for women and body

special procedures that have been developed and performed by cosmetic surgeons
like Dr. Bashioum. Below you will find information including liposuction

Are there specific surgeries for men and women? |
Liposuction procedures are generally the same for both men and women. One exception
are procedures for breast
reduction surgery for women and chest
reduction or gynecomastia-excision surgery for men. Removing fat from the
breasts with lipoplasty leaves them with a more natural, proportioned size.
Many times patients who have breast liposuction surgery will also benefit from
cosmetic breast lift surgery or cosmetic
breast assymetry surgery to make their breasts more natural in size and
shape. In men, chest liposuction surgery can be performed and reduce the size
of male breasts, this is called male breast reduction surgery.
