What is it?

Bodysculpting is an innovative body contouring surgical technique offered at Up Clinic. This procedure combines high-definition liposuction with various technologies for fat and skin treatment, personalizing and optimizing the results.

 

When is it indicated?

This surgery is recommended for individuals seeking improvement in body contour and definition. It's suitable for those without moderate to severe excess skin or sagging skin, but with excess fat.

 

How is the procedure performed?

Liposuction is executed with cannulas via small, strategically positioned incisions of about one centimeter, located in less visible areas. Bodysculpting employs high-definition liposuction to reduce fat volume, retract skin, and enhance muscle definition simultaneously.

 

Can it be performed on other body regions?

While it's often used on the abdomen, flanks, and back, this technique can also be applied to the chest and arms.

 

What types of technology are used?

High-definition liposuction is enhanced through the use of three crucial devices: the MicroareR, the VaserR, and BodytiteR and/or Argon PlasmaR. The MicroareR is a vibroliposuction system that allows for the liposuction of a larger volume of fat within the same time interval. The VaserR is an ultrasound system that enables tissue retraction, reducing the risk of irregularities and facilitating the liquefaction of fat for subsequent liposuction. BodytiteR and/or Argon PlasmaR devices contribute to skin retraction, thereby improving muscle definition.

 

Can it be combined with other surgeries?

This surgical technique can be paired with lipofilling of other anatomical regions, such as the buttocks, pectorals, deltoids, or calves.

 

What is the degree of muscle definition?

The degree of muscle definition varies according to the preoperative biotype and the patient's expectations. It can be categorized into Slim (light definition), Fit (moderate definition), and Extreme (marked definition).
