Is Lipectomy the Same As Liposuction?

Lipectomy and Liposuction are not the same. Lipectomy just means removal of fat. Liposuction is sometimes called suction lipectomy meaning, removal of fat via suction. When you are having a belpharoplasty, it is very unlikely and dangerous if the plan is to remove fat via suction around the eyes. Please make sure you clarify this prior to your surgery.

Dear Mom1234
This is now your second inquiry to this site regarding this issue that I am aware of.
Liposuction and lipectomy are not terms that are usually associated with forehead and eyelid surgery. I am concerned that your doctor does not really know what they are doing.
Why are you so attached to this doctor? Obviously you have some concerns regarding what is being proposed or you would not be posting at this site. I strongly urge you to get so other opinions. Remember, the best way to get out of trouble is to stay out of trouble. My response to your last inquiry I suggest you see Jill Foster, M.D. in Columbus. Julian Perry, M.D. at the Cleveland Clinic would be another good choice.
