The ad (see above) for liposculpture says that you can “lose over one gallon of fat with liposculpture!” That is a lot of fat any way you look at it. So what is difference between liposculpture and liposuction? It seems that the liposculpture procedure is very close to SmartLipo. Here is what the ad says:

What exactly is liposculpture? Liposculpture is a minimally invasive procedure that literally removes and sculpts fat deposits while you are awake. Unlike traditional liposuction, new liposculpture techniques do not use general anesthesia or IV sedation, which means that some people can drive home and go right back to work or activities the next day. The procedure takes less than 2 hours and there is usually minimal bruising and no unsightly scars.

What areas of the body can be treated? The most common areas that men and women get liposculpture are on the stomach and love handles; however liposculpture can remove excess fat from almost any area of the body: arms, thighs, chest and chin.

How much fat can liposculpture remove? Liposculpture can remove over a gallon of fat (10 pounds!) in a single 2 hour procedure, Liposculpture can remove between 50 to 80% of the fat that you can pinch, which will leave you with a much leaner stomach, skinnier waist, or smaller thighs. Although your body will continue to age, results are permanent. The fat removed with liposculpture is gone forever and does not grow back.

Am I a good candidate for liposculpture? Liposculpture works for men and women of all ages and sizes. I treat skinny models with just a few extra ounces as well as people with a few gallons of fat on their abdomen. I’ve had liposculpture on my abdomen and love handles and every person in my office has had the procedure.

This procedure is obviously very expensive, but some people can afford it. The question is: is it worth it? The ad claims that removed fat does not come back. But what happens if you do not change your eating habits after this procedure? Why would it not come back?
