 Liposuction
is a surgery in which a cosmetic surgeon removes unwanted
excess fat from areas in the body using a cannula.
Liposuction is a highly requested surgery, in particular
because you can remove localised fat deposits where
the accumulation of fat may remain, despite dieting
and physical activity.
Liposuction reshapes the patient's body by removing
the unwanted excess fat in specific areas of the body
(ex. hips, thighs, abdomen, inner arm, chin, etc.).
In addition, the fat removed can also be injected into
the same patient to increase volume or improve the contours
of the body (ex. increase volume of buttocks, fill in
creases and wrinkles in the face, etc.) through an operation
called lipofilling or liposculpting.
Being able to determine the exact quantity of fat which
should be removed during the liposuction operation is
one of the main problems and difficulties that a surgeon
may encounter.
By not being able to see the amount of fat deposits
that still remain under the skin and their exact location,
the surgeon often removes fat without a point of reference
(or more specifically, without knowing the amount of
fat there is left to remove and the exact location of
it).
As a result of this, after the liposuction procedure,
lumps or dents may appear. This is caused by the surgeon
not knowing precisely how much to remove, and therefore,
too much or too little is removed. These unattractive
lumps or dents often need to be filled with an artificial
filler or with fat transfer (using the patient’s
own fat).
The lack of precision cannot be completely attributed
to the surgeon himself, but rather to the fact that
it is impossible to “see” what to remove
under the skin.
With Lipovisor™ the surgeon can finally see, something
that may have seemed impossible until today.
The Lipovisor scans the fat deposits with extreme precision
and displays them on a monitor during the operation.
This allows the surgeon, while performing the liposuction
procedure, to perfectly see the layer of fat being removed
as well as how much is left and where it is.
In this way liposuction truly becomes a precise operation
in “high definition.”
The surgeon is able to shape and contour the body perfectly
without leaving out even the smallest areas of fat or
creating unattractive lumps or dents that may accompany
the results of a liposuction.
