Liposculpture
Vaser Lipo is an advanced body contouring procedure that selectively removes unwanted body fat. An alternative to the harsh techniques of traditional liposuction, Vaser Lipo uses state-of-the-art ultrasound technology designed to gently reshape your body. Saddlebags can be improved greatly with this procedure.

What is Liposculpture?
We have used the term liposuction and liposculptra interchangeably for decades. Generally, we began using the term liposculptra when we began liposuctioning superficially to get the skin to tighten. This is moderately effective within limits. Liposuctioning superficially is an art, however, and extra time must be taken to assure evenness and smoothness of the skin. But, basically the terms mean the same.

Liposuction for "saddlebags"
Thank you for the question.
The lateral thighs “saddle bags” are often very well treated with liposuction surgery. The procedure works well for patients with isolated diet and exercise resistant adipose tissue of the lateral thighs who have good skin elasticity.
Good skin elasticity is an important attribute of the patient undergoing liposuction surgery. As we age we generally lose some skin elasticity. After the liposuction procedure we are depending on...

Would you rather be sucked or sculpted: the ascent of the term liposculpture
"A rose by any other name...Shakespeare" The term liposculpture arose as a preferred alternative to liposuction primarliy to connote a better overall impression of sculpture versus suction. In the early years, some practitioners used this term to delineate a practice of lipoetching or superficial liposuction in which more delicate contouring (with a higher risk of creating contour irregularities) is carried out in the upper layers of the fat.

The differences between liposuction and liposculpture are ...
Liposuction is the removal of fat , period. We used the term in the late 1980's and 90's. As techniques improved fat removal became possible in an aesthetic manner that attempts to restore the natural musculoskeletal shape to the body. Just as one shoe size does not fit all, one technique of body sculpting will not suit all patients. For that reason the term liposculpture has value and it is appropriate for patients to ask their cosmetic surgeon how sculpting will be...

What is LipoSculpture? (Liposuction)
LipoSculpture is just another term for liposuction but sometimes refers to a unique method called "VASER Hi Def LipoSculpture." It conveys the idea that you can actually sculpt the body with minimal incisions. Liposuction is a procedure where fat is removed from under the skin through small incisions. In my experience of over 20 years of liposuction I personally believe that the best option is VASER liposuction or VASER Hi Def LipoSculpture. This involves an ultrasonic...

Liposculpture.
Liposculpture, also known as body sculpting, body contouring, or simply liposuction, is a vague term given to the use of any type of liposuction to improve the overall contours of the body. Traditional liposuction techniques focused on general, non-specific fat removal with little attention paid to harmony and balance between regions of the body. With newer, innovative, and often more aggressive forms of liposuction, a curvier or more chiseled body can be produced while ensuring smooth,...

Liposculpture defined
The definition of liposculpture may depend on exactly who you ask. In our practice, we use the term liposuction when we want to describe the process where we remove amounts of fat to change the contour or shape of the body. We use the term liposculpture to describe the smaller removals of fat that helped contour the overlying tissue and skin so that they can mimic the underlying muscles and framework. In our practice, many patients typically get both procedures to reduce the overall...
