Cosmetic surgeries and medical tourism is a growing trend. Mainly because the affordability of the treatments tempts people. But you shouldn't sacrifice the quality of treatment for affordability.

Things You Should Consider Before Liposculpture Surgery

  • Avoid smoking and alcohol. 
  • Avoiding taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements are also essential because they can increase bleeding in the whole process of Liposculpture.

FAQ

 

What's the difference between liposculpture vs liposuction?

Liposuction targets broad areas to remove the fat, while liposculpture targets smaller areas. Liposculpture focuses on highlighting the muscles by manipulating your body fats. In comparison, liposuction removes fat deposits to give your body a slimmer look.

How safe is liposculpture?

Any surgery carries risks, especially with surgeries requiring anesthesia. But liposuction procedures have been around for a while, and the latest available techs have reduced these risks significantly. Also, it is vital to choose the right surgeon who has experience in liposculpture.

What is the recovery time for liposculpture?

The recovery period will vary from one patient to another, but typically, the recovery will take 4 - 6 weeks.

Is liposculpture cost abroad affordable?

In general, yes the procedure will be more affordable abroad and cost less in popular medical tourism locations like Turkey. But there are some factors that affect the liposculpture cost like the location of the clinics, the surgeon's experience, and the technique used. 

Targeted Areas for Liposculpture Surgery

 

Liposculpture treatment targets areas that are unresponsive to exercise and diet. Some of the most common areas liposculpture surgery is used for are:

  • Abs
  • Back
  • Hips
  • Thighs
  • Buttocks 

Types of Liposculpture Surgery:

There are four main techniques your surgeon might use while performing liposculpture surgery:

Tumescent liposculpture: This is the most common type of liposuction. During the procedure, your surgeon will inject a sterile solution that helps remove fat, an anesthetic (lidocaine) to relieve pain, and a drug that causes your blood vessels to contract (epinephrine).

Ultrasound-assisted liposculpture (UAL): In this type of ultrasonic liposculpture, the surgeon will use a cannula that uses sound waves to rupture the fat cells. Since the fat will be liquified, it will be easier to extract it.

Laser-assisted liposuction (LAL): Your surgeon will use a laser to rupture the fat cells to liquefy them during LAL. Once the cells are liquefied, the surgeon will remove them.

Water-jet-assisted liposuction: This type requires the surgeon to use pressurized saline to loosen the fat cells instead of rupturing them. It will make the fat removal process smoother and quicker.
