Preoperative consultation
The patient is dissatisfied with her loose abdomen and fat traps on her back and waist. I didn’t want to remove a lot of fat on my back, but I wanted to emphasize the definition of my waist muscles and the contour of my buttocks. The patient had previously undergone classical liposuction of the area of the “fat traps” of the abdomen and waist with good results, but classical liposuction cannot emphasize the muscle relief.
1. Photographing the patient without markings “before” for an objective comparison with the result “after” the operation. There are no “fat traps” as such, but the stomach and waist are not sculpted.
2. Marking the abdomen is a very important point in preoperative marking - highlighting the boundaries of each muscle and determining the places of natural “shadows” on the body.
3. Marking the waist area and the upper border of the buttocks.
What is liposculpture?
The latest plastic surgery techniques make it possible not only to eliminate obvious aesthetic defects, but also to improve the aesthetics of the body in cases where cosmetic defects are minimal and full-fledged plastic surgery is impractical.
One of these techniques is liposculpture, or, as it is often called, lipomodeling. Liposculpture is a beauty medicine technology designed to improve the aesthetics of the body and face through the redistribution of subcutaneous fat tissue. Briefly, the essence of the method can be described as follows. A small amount of fat is extracted from the part of the body that needs to be slightly reduced (or the contours of that part of the body adjusted if necessary). This fatty tissue is then transplanted into an area with a lack of soft tissue volume, thereby modeling its shape, outline and overall appearance.
The area from which adipose tissue is taken is usually called “donor”, since it acts as a donor of fat cells. The area whose volume is increased during liposculpture using lipofilling is called recipient. Please note that lipomodeling has a complex effect on the aesthetics of the body - the appearance of both the donor and recipient areas improves.
So, lipomodeling, or liposculpture, is a plastic surgery aimed at comprehensively improving the aesthetics of the body and/or face by transplanting adipose tissue from the donor area to the recipient area, that is, from an area with excess volume to an area with a deficiency.
Preparing for surgery
1. The marking is now almost complete.
2. In the operating room, photographs of the patient with markings help to “not lose” the boundaries of the muscles during surgery and to form a relief exactly in accordance with the anatomical features of the body structure.
3. We check the equipment again before starting the operation.

Operation
1. The operation begins with liposuction of the waist.
2. Next, liposculpture is performed and a thin relief of the muscles of the lower back and upper pole of the buttocks is formed using a special cannula and an ultrasound probe. It is ultrasound that helps remove almost all fat in this area. The photograph clearly shows the formed curve of the waist and buttocks.
3. Removed living fat cells can be used to enlarge any muscles, buttocks, breasts, since ultrasound does not damage the removed fat cells, but only breaks the fat tissue into cell conglomerates.
In addition, during the operation it is clear that there is no blood loss. Thanks to the effect of ultrasound on adipose tissue, selective emulsification of the adipose tissue occurs without damaging other tissues.
4. The next stage is abdominal lipomodeling, i.e. creation of muscle relief. This is what makes bodybuilding liposuction different from all other types of liposuction.
Rehabilitation
After liposculpture, the patient spends a day in the hospital: it is necessary to monitor his condition. A person will be allowed to go home only if his health is not in danger. The patient is advised to wear compression garments or a compression bandage.
The stitches will be removed in about a week. All this time, pain may appear in the areas involved in the operation. Swelling and hematomas at this stage are also a normal reaction.
It will take a month for complete tissue restoration: the skin in the operated area will return to its original appearance. While the tissues are being restored, the contours of the figure are not yet smooth. To avoid stagnation, ultrasound massage is prescribed. Special underwear can be removed only after 20 days and only during sleep.
The final rehabilitation period will require another 2 months. Swimming will help tighten the epidermis. The swelling will go away completely, and the operated areas will acquire the necessary outline and shape. But with exercise and drinking large amounts of liquid, pain may still occur. At this stage, compression garments are used only during training.
For the entire recovery period you also need:
- Avoid visiting public baths and saunas.
- Do not take hot baths.
- Do not overload the body with excessive loads.
- You need to protect yourself from colds: even a small infection can develop into a serious problem.
- You can't go to the solarium.
- Review your eating behavior. Limit your consumption of salty, sweet, fatty and smoked foods, as well as alcohol.
If you do not follow all the doctor's recommendations, this can lead to serious consequences:
- formation of thrombosis;
- blood poisoning;
- damage to internal organs;
- the appearance of bumps on the operated areas.
At the slightest deterioration in your health, you should not experiment with your health; it is better to immediately call a doctor. Repeated lipomodeling can be performed after 7-10 years, if necessary.
Comparison of results after 2 months
Before:
the stomach has no relief, the muscles are not visible even with tension, there is an overhanging fold of skin above the navel, the waist in front does not look elegant enough. At the same time, the patient periodically visits the gym and has a stable weight.
After:
well-emphasized relief of the abdominal muscles and midline, the subcutaneous fat layer is reduced over the entire area, the skin is effectively reduced, the waist is well defined in the front, resulting in an athletic body. The relief of the abdomen is stable and does not depend on muscle training. But, nevertheless, it is recommended to start playing sports two months after the operation to enhance the relief effect. Ultrasound lipoplasty (bodybuilding liposuction) helps to achieve a athletic physique and athletic appearance.
Before
After
Up to spin:
The relief of the waist muscles is not expressed and the contour of the buttocks is not emphasized. The waist-buttock transition is not distinct. Periodic exercise does not bring the expected effect.
After spin:
There is still a slight swelling, but the future relief is already being determined and shadows along the back are becoming noticeable.

Liposculpture. Body lipomodeling
Liposculpture
— formation of natural relief and contours of the body using gentle liposuction and transfer of the patient’s own fat tissue. The bottom line: Body contouring is created by removing excess fat in certain areas and adding fat where there is not enough. In this way, you can get a detailed relief in the desired area: highlighting and emphasizing the “cubes” of the press, lines of the back, deltoid muscle, shoulders, waist. The female figure becomes more slender and feminine, the male figure becomes athletic and brutal.
Benefits of vibration liposuction
Reduces the subcutaneous fat layer without leaving unevenness, using this technology the maximum possible smoothness of the skin surface is achieved.
Suitable for those who dream of a sculpted body. Using this technique, you can “draw” the muscular silhouette of the abdomen, back, arms and legs.
For men, it allows you to draw out the muscular frame of the body and get a more masculine silhouette.
Another advantage: fat obtained by vibration liposuction is more uniform, homogeneous, which allows it to take root better in the proper volume.
Where and why is fat injected?
In those places where there is not enough volume. On the female body - for correction of breasts, buttocks, legs. For men - in the projection of the latissimus muscles to emphasize the power of the back, shoulder muscles, and chest. Working with a male figure is more difficult. At the same time, the parameters of the figure and its perception as a whole visually change: the waist and hips become narrower, the back and chest become wider, the muscles become more prominent.
Figure correction using sculpting method: PAL LipoSculptor.
Body correction is carried out using the new generation PAL LipoSculptor device.”
While working with tissues, the surgeon does not exert much physical effort, and, accordingly, unnecessary tissue damage does not occur. In turn, the absence of unnecessary trauma reduces the severity of postoperative swelling and pain in patients. Since the procedure using PAL technology takes less time than using mechanical liposuction, patients are less susceptible to complications and risks, and accordingly, the safety of body contouring increases.
PAL technology is effective for removing fat from the most difficult to reach areas of the body, including the back, lower back, inner thighs, navel, and chest in men.
Indications
local deposits of subcutaneous fat, liposculpture of the face and body, gynecomastia, lipomas of various origins, lymphedema.
The selection of candidates for this operation is carried out according to strict indications. The plastic surgeon evaluates the body mass index (BMI = 20-29), skin structure, and its elasticity. This is a very important point, because after liposuction, inelastic skin may not shrink and hang in a skin fold. If you have local excess fat, but there is no hanging fat apron, you have elastic, firm skin, this type of liposuction is suitable for you.
Anesthesia
Liposuction is performed under local or general anesthesia. An anesthetic substance is also injected directly into the liposuction area using a special tube to transport fat cells.
Recovery
After correction, most patients can leave the clinic within a few hours or within 24 hours.
In the first 2-3 weeks after surgery, it is necessary to wear compression garments and observe restrictions on physical activity. Swelling and hematomas disappear in about 3-4 weeks.
Fat cells in the treated areas are not restored, therefore, subject to a balanced diet, it is possible to maintain a good figure forever.
Result
The final result can be assessed 3-4 months after correction. During this period, internal swelling goes away and the skin shrinks.
