Liposuction
Lipoplasty, Liposculpture, and Just Plain Old Lipo ...What's the Difference? You may be surprised, and a little disappointed, to learn that these plastic surgery terms all refer to the same thing. As it turns out, some plastic surgeons created these terms (there are many more) to make their technique of liposuction sound better than their competitors'. In actuality, aside from the differences between standard (tumescent) liposuction and ultrasonic liposuction (explained below), liposuction, lipoplasty, liposculpture, lipectomy, and lipo all refer to basically the same procedure.
Liposuction is Best Suited for those who& Are near their ideal body weight and are seeking reduction of specific areas of diet-resistant fat, such as the hips (love handles), outer thighs (saddle bags), abdomen, neck, inner thighs, knees, or arms. Those whose weight has been stable for at least 6 months do better with liposuction than those whose weight has been changing. Skin tone is also important. If you have good skin tone, your skin will retract (shrink wrap) after lipo. If you have poor tone with loose saggy skin or stretch marks, then your skin will not tighten and may in some cases look worse. Learn more at Dr. Loftus' website by clicking on the link below.
