Liposculpture is a marketing term for Liposuction
Liposculpture is a term used to describe using Liposuction to alter the body shape. It is a marketing term for Liposuction.
Some surgeons use the term Liposculpture to describe careful, small amounts of liposuction in an attempt to improve for example, the show of the "abs" in people who are not fat. Other areas that are sculpt include the hips, knees, neck and jawline using careful small cannulae removing small amounts of fat.

Liposuction vs liposculpture
I am afraid it is all marketing. It is an attempt to make the Liposculpture sound new,more artistic , with more finesse. In reality, it is all liposuction, the Liposculpture procedures are done with small cannulas, or tubes, but they have been around for years prior to the term Liposculpture.Liposculpture is done under both tumescent or general anesthesia.

What's in a name.
Liposuction is the removal of fat to create a contour. Liposculpture was coined in the mid 1990's and implied the use of local anesthetics and small cannulas. It's really the same. Liposelection I'd the term that was introduced by Sound Surgical for the Vaser system.

Liposculpture is liposuction
Argh!
The marketing of plastic surgery astounds me.
Liposculpture, liposelection, liposuction. They are all the same thing. Liposuction, when done well, should always be scultping. The goal of liposuction is not just fat removal. It is the smooth, contoured removal of fat.
Don't feel bad you were misled. Many of the terms out there were created to make you think something is new and exciting. The marketing of plastic surgery has gotten out of control.

Liposuction and Liposculpture are synonymous terms
Liposuction and Liposculpture are one in the same. They both refer to the exact same surgical procedure of removing fat by suctioning it from various body areas. The eye of a sculptor is a prerequisite of each and every surgeon performing this operation.

How is Liposculpture different than Liposuction?
Hi there-
There is absolutely NO difference. The two words are synonyms.
Most of this confusion has been generated by non-plastic surgeons who have to somehow fool patients into letting them do liposuction on them by making the procedure sound more sexy than what they could get in the office of an actually well trained plastic surgeon.
Here is what you need to know about liposuction and the crazy behavior we're talking about:
Tumescent liposuction, VASER Lipo, Smart Lipo, Cool lipo, Pro...

Liposculpture vs lipsuction
The terms liposculpture and liposcution are one and the same. I think liposculpture sounds sexier, so maybe that is why some use that term instead of liposuction.

Liposuction is liposculpture
Liposculpture is the same thing as liposuction, just with a name that makes it sound fancier or more artistic. After all wouldn't you rather your fat be sculpted than sucked out? But it is the same.
