Traditional liposuction methods are being revamped by new types of procedures focused on sculpting rather than strictly fat removal. A recent development called High-Definition LipoSculpture promises to give patients a gym-tone look.
Dr. Erik Smith a plastic surgeon who practices High-Def LipoSuclture said,
“Unlike with traditional lipo, where large areas of fat are removed, with this hi def procedure, it's specific small pockets of fat that are removed. The trick to definition is not the fat you remove, it's what you leave behind.”
The procedure is designed for clients who are not overweight, rather they have portions and pockets of fat they wish to remove or shape into a toner more refined look. Although the procedure may be advantageous in a number of ways, one downfall is the price. Liposculpture can range from $10,000-15,000 depending on the surgeon.
