What Are the 12 Areas of Liposculpture?

Abdomen and legs of womanMany people face the struggle of maintaining a healthy diet and exercising regularly but still not seeing the results they desire. This is why more and more people are turning to liposculpture, a procedure that shapes the body by removing fat from specific areas. The most common areas of liposculpture include the:

1. Waist

Both men and women can find it extremely hard to get rid of excess weight in the waist, often referred to as ‘love handles.’ The waist is very responsive to liposculpture because of optimal skin elasticity.

2. Lower Back or ‘Flanks’

The lower back or flank area also has great skin elasticity. In fact, liposculpture in this area is commonly paired with the waist to give an even contour and smooth midsection transition, especially for women looking to achieve an hourglass figure.

3. Upper Back

Patients who complain of back rolls may choose to target the upper back. This is another great area for liposculpture as the skin in the area is thick and forgiving.

4. Hips

Many people use hips and waist interchangeably, but the hips actually sit below the waist. This is another area that is especially targeted by women.

5. Upper Arms

Excess fat and tissue in the upper arm can be tough for many people to target with exercise. Liposculpture can tone this area, resulting in a more fit appearance.

6. Lower Abdomen

The lower abdomen, or belly, is a highly requested area for liposculpture, as many people seek a tight and toned stomach. However, patients with a higher amount of fat in this area may be better suited for a tummy tuck or traditional liposuction.

7. Upper Abdomen

Even if the focus of your efforts is the lower abdomen, the upper abdomen should also be treated in order to create a smooth transition between the two and achieve more of that six-pack look many people desire.

8. The Cheeks & Chin

Do you seem to have chubby cheeks or a double chin no matter your weight? Liposculpture can help you achieve more of a chiseled look in these areas as well.

9. Inner Thighs

Thankfully, ‘thigh gaps’ aren’t super trendy anymore. However, if you’re an active person who enjoys endurance sports like running or biking, you may want to sculpt your inner thighs and reduce the amount of fat.

10. Outer Thighs

Excess fat on the outside of the thighs can be a pain for many people, especially women. Liposculpture in this area can improve a person’s silhouette and also compliment the curve of the buttocks.

11. Lower Legs

Liposculpture in this area can be challenging because calves and ankles have very little “deep fat” pockets. So, if you opt to sculpt this part of the body, the procedure must be done carefully to avoid creating any irregularities in appearance.

12. Chest

Liposculpture of the chest is common among men, as they tend to experience a loss in muscle mass of the chest as they age. Some women may elect to receive this procedure for a no-scar, minimally invasive breast lift.
