What is shrink wrap Liposuction?
Another name for circumferential or near circumferential liposuction of thighs or another body part to reduce size, girth, thickness, followed by application of compression garment to facilitate even distribution of residual and remaining tissue.
As others have stated, shrink wrap liposuction is a term to describe 360 degree or circumferential liposuction where the abdomen, back and sides are liposuctioned with the goal to create an all-around reduction in the fat layer. When the skin hopefully retracts, it is akin to shrink wrapping an object. The reality is the effectiveness of this approach will depend on some factors:1. The patient's weight and BMI - this is not a weight loss surgery2. The patient's skin elasticity and the presence of creases and thick rolls3. The patient's age and overall health4. The techniques used in liposuction, as some devices may (may being the operative word) facilitate better skin retraction. You should be evaluated by one or more board-certified plastic surgeons in the office for a consultation to assess you for candidacy for liposuction vs. other procedures depending on your fat distribution and skin elasticity.
