Liposuction/Liposculpture
Liposuction/Liposculpture Overview
Despite good health and a reasonable level of fitness, some individuals still have disproportionate contours due to localized fat deposits. These areas may be due to genetics rather than a lack of weight control or fitness.
Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty or liposculpture, slims and reshapes specific localized areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits, improving your body contours and proportion, and ultimately, enhancing your self-image.

FAQ – Liposuction/Liposculpture
Liposculpture is a derivative of liposuction. They are often used synonymously. Liposuction strictly refers to removal or debulking of fat cells from a certain area as a wholesome process. On the other hand, liposculpture is aiming at removing fat in smaller volume more specific areas in order to give the body a sculpted look, often an illusion of abs or waistline silouette are produced in such a manner.
Surgical garment is usually recommended to wear for about 4 weeks post surgery to help keep everything tight and help with the healing process. The garment also helps with reducing the post-operative swelling and pain.
You will be up and moving the day of your surgery. Dr. Chahin recommends patients to walk and do gentle movements the day after surgery, as this promotes healthy blood flow and healing. You may return to an desk-type job within 2 days and most patients return to a regular exercise routine between two to three weeks, although they may engage in mild exercise prior to that.
Usually drains are not needed when performing liposuction or liposculpture.
Contrary to popular belief, liposuction is not a weight-loss treatment, rather it is a fat reduction procedure. During liposuction, enough fat is removed to get a proportionate and natural result which is dependent on a variety of factors. The safe amount of fat removal all depends on your unique case. The goal is to remove just the right amount in the right areas to help sculpt the desired area. We adhere to stringent safety recommendations and criteria that specifies not to remove more than 3500 mL in any out-patient surgical setting. Exceeding this volume recommendation could potentially place the patient in danger during and immediate after surgery.
