Liposculpture

Liposculpture is an advanced form of liposuction designed to remove unwanted fat deposits and reshape the body with precision. Unlike traditional liposuction, liposculpture focuses on sculpting and defining natural body contours for a balanced, proportional result. At DermLab, this procedure is performed by Dermatologist surgeons under tumescent anaesthesia, ensuring safety, comfort, and faster recovery.

How It Works

  1. Consultation – A Dermatologist surgeon assesses your goals and treatment areas

  2. Anaesthesia – Tumescent anaesthesia is used instead of general anaesthetic, significantly improving safety and recovery

  3. Fat removal – Small incisions are made, and a fine cannula is used to gently suction unwanted fat

  4. Sculpting – The focus is not only on removing fat, but reshaping and refining contours for natural, aesthetic results

  5. Completion – No stitches are usually required; compression garments are worn after surgery to support healing

What to Expect

  • Procedure time – 1–4 hours depending on areas treated

  • Recovery – most people return to normal activities within a week; compression garments are worn for several weeks

  • Results – gradual improvement as swelling reduces, with final results visible at 3–6 months

  • Longevity – fat cells removed are gone permanently, but weight gain can enlarge remaining fat cells

What It Improves

  • Stubborn fat that resists diet and exercise

  • Abdominal and waist contour (“love handles”)

  • Thighs and hips (“saddlebags”)

  • Arms and back

  • Neck and under-chin fullness (“double chin”)

  • Chest contour (in selected patients)

Benefits of Tumescent Anaesthesia

  • Safer – avoids risks of general anaesthetic

  • Comfortable – patients remain relaxed throughout

  • Less bleeding and bruising – tumescent solution shrinks blood vessels

  • Quicker recovery – most patients go home the same day

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Not exactly. Liposuction removes fat, but liposculpture focuses on precision reshaping and contour refinement.

  • The removed fat cells are gone permanently. However, weight gain can cause remaining fat cells to enlarge.

  • Some improvement is visible immediately, but swelling takes several weeks to settle. Final results appear at 3–6 months.

  • Yes — when performed by experienced surgeons using tumescent anaesthesia, which improves safety and reduces recovery time.
