Thank you for your question. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Sculpsure works very well in the abdomen and flanks. Isolated lipomas may be treated, but there are no studies to confirm its efficacy in improving these benign masses. Generally, surgical excision works best. I would see your doctor and discuss this problem before you undergo any treatment.

Sean Doherty, MD, FACS · Answer

Limpomas are best treated surgically. The evidence so far on whether or not SculpSure is effective on isolated pockets of fat inconclusive. If you were to try just keep in mind that it would be considered an "off label" use. Best of luck.

David Finkle, MD · Answer

I guess that depends on what you exactly mean by adipose hyperplasia.  SculpSure reduces subcutaneous fat on average by 24% per session.  I would recommend scheduling a consultation with a Sculpture physician for an in person examination and opinion.Good Luck!

Dennis Gross, MD · Answer

In regards to lipomas, there is no clear cut answer to your question, although in theory it should work. If surgical removal is not an ideal and/or desirable option then SculpSure could be a good treatment to try for this, as there would be no harm in doing so. I would consult with a SculpSure provider for evaluation to determine whether or not this would be a good option for you.

Lawrence Eisenhauer, MD · Answer

If this applies to LIPOMAS the answer is unclear. It would definitely be off-label, and has been asked and not well answered at conferences of "experts." I would think isolated collections of fat could respond to this treatment, but usually are surgically removed if large enough.
