Liposculpture (lipomodelling, liposculpture) of the body — this is a method of correcting the contours and shape of the body by collecting and redistributing fat cells from "problem areas".
During this low-traumatic operation, it is possible to replenish the volume of fatty tissue in those parts of the body where there is a lack of it (for example, chest, buttocks), as well as to recreate an athletic muscular relief — accentuate the waist, pack abs, obliques, etc.
Liposculpture is performed in several stages: transplantation of adipose tissue by high-precision liposuction, centrifugation and purification of the biomaterial, modeling of a beautiful relief and body shape using engraving and lipofilling.
Find out in an exclusive interview on estet-portal.com features of liposculpture for body shape correction from plastic surgeon Ahmed Abdelaziz (Egypt).
Liposculpture procedure
А.А.: First of all, liposculpture – it is not a weight loss procedure. This is a specific body shape contouring procedure that is designed for both men and women. With liposculpture, you can create certain details, emphasize the features of the shape of the body, so that the body looks embossed and at the same time as natural as possible. This is the main difference between liposculpture.

How to achieve the most natural body shape with liposculpture
А.А.: Achieving the most natural results when modeling the shape of the body depends, first of all, on compliance with the rules of the anatomy of each patient, individual characteristics. Everyone is different, but at the same time there are guidelines for each procedure. When lipomodeling the shape of the body, the doctor must know where he should resort to sculpting (the formation of bulges, depressions), as this is very important in order to ultimately show that it is strictly subject to the anatomical features of the patient. These rules provide a natural result.
Lipofilling: new opportunities for dermatocosmetologists
It is also very important for the patient to follow a specific exercise program in order to keep the body fit for as long as possible. Liposculpture – this is not the only procedure you do. It is necessary to take care of your body, do physical exercises in order to keep a good body shape for a longer time.
How long does the result last after liposculpture
А.А.: In my practice, there are patients where the result after liposculpture lasted more than 4 years. But I also have patients who put on a lot of weight and this also affects the result. Naturally, there is a slight weight gain, but if, for example, it is 20 kilograms, then there will be no result after the procedure.
How to make the lipofilling procedure as effective as possible
Recommendations before body shaping lipomodelling
AA: My recommendation for patients is to exercise first before resorting to liposculpture. So, first you need to make some efforts, and then come to liposculpture.
Before you come to the surgeon for body sculpting surgery, you must fulfill the obligations and do physical exercises to prepare the muscles.
I don't like it when a patient comes in and says that he doesn't want to exercise, do anything and work on his body, but he wants to have a beautiful sculpted body. In that case, I release the patient. But within a few months, the patient understands that it is necessary to make an effort and we get a good result. Because a good result affects both the doctor and the patient.
I always give patients the opportunity to practice on their own for 6 months. The first stage of body shape correction for patients is BMI (body mass index). We cannot work if BMI is greater than 32, the most optimal index for most patients – it is 30. This is one of the key factors in choosing a patient for a liposculpture procedure. The next step – This is a program of training and exercises that must be completed within 6 months. This is not about changing the body, but about the fact that patients will be able to come to the operation later.
Possibility of using lipomodeling and bariatric surgery techniques for body reshaping
A.A.: Many people think that these are different directions. First of all, weight loss − it's what's best for your skin. In the case of surgical modeling of the body, there is always the problem of excess skin, if you play sports, the condition of your skin definitely improves. Later, we can perform a liposculpture procedure on a patient who has lost weight by removing fatty tissue that does not reflect the muscular structure of the body shape.
At the same time, you need to remember about excess skin and here we can turn to hardware techniques that are aimed at improving skin tone, and there are many procedures that work with excess skin in different areas.
This is necessary for the result to be as natural as possible. It really changes the way of life. Since patients who have used bariatric surgery techniques for weight loss did so in order to look beautiful in the mirror, on the beach. And their thinking after that also changes. Therefore, like liposculpture, bariatric weight loss methods mean a lot to patients.

An integrated approach to body shape modeling
AA: I always talk about what is called deletion. Since the removal of adipose tissue – it's not the most important thing. A lipoplasty surgeon is like a sculptor, but only the sculptor uses clay in his work. As a rule, the patient, using lipoplasty techniques, wants to remove excess fatty tissue.
But it's important to remember that by adding fat to different muscle groups, we can achieve a greater visual effect of body shape bulges or contouring, which will look more attractive to the patient. So this is not only about the removal of adipose tissue, but about an integrated approach to modeling the shape of the body.
Combination of thread lifting and liposculpture
А.А.: Today, lifting using threads – this is a procedure that any doctor can include in his practice in order to make the result even more phenomenal. Combining threads with botulinum toxin can make high-quality skin rejuvenation, make it look fresher if you want to carry out only one procedure by combining these techniques. Combination of threads and dermal fillers – this is what is most used now for face correction.
Face sculpting and lifting with threads to correct excess skin is of great importance. Lipoplastic surgery also needs skin lifting, as a plastic surgeon I recommend facial skin lifting, including the use of threads, as this is a minimally invasive method of lifting. This allows you to significantly increase the effectiveness of the procedure and maximize patient satisfaction.
