Scar Less Liposuction

Dr. Vitolo’s advanced lipomelt technique, uses Ultrasonic Energy applied externally to the areas being treated before the liposuction begins. The ultrasonic energy melts the fat prior to its removal. This allows for a more delicate removal of the fat since the fat doesn’t have to be broken up by physical force. The fat is removed as an oil, rather than chunks of fat, and the ultrasonic energy aids in skin contraction.

What is Lipomelt Liposculpture?

Liposculpture is an advanced body contouring procedure that combines liposuction with EUAL. It efficiently targets and removes stubborn fat deposits through a minimally invasive approach, using ultrasonic waves to break down fat before extraction. This method offers a more precise fat removal experience that causes less trauma in the body. 

Benefits of Lipomelt Liposculpture

• Precise removal of stubborn fat
• Minimized downtime and discomfort
• Less visible scarring

Good Candidates for Lipomelt Liposculpture

Lipomelt Liposculpture is suitable for a wide range of individuals. Our clients include men and women who:

• Have excess fat that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise
• Wish to address a specific area of the body, such as upper arms, love handles, abdomen or thighs
• Are close to their ideal body weight
• Are in general good health

Contraindications include significant health issues and certain medical conditions, such as cardiovascular disease and uncontrolled diabetes. At your consultation, be sure to disclose your complete medical history with Dr. Vitolo to ensure your candidacy for this procedure.

Before & Afters

Immediately following the procedure, patients typically notice a reduction in fat volume. The final, sculpted appearance becomes fully apparent over the following weeks as swelling subsides and the body adapts to its new contour.

What to Expect from Your Liposuction Procedure

Consultation

Your journey with Lipomelt Liposculpture at Dr. Vitolo Plastic Surgery begins with an initial consultation. During this meeting, Dr. Vitolo will discuss your aesthetic goals, evaluate your target areas and determine if liposculpture is right for you. This is also the perfect time to address any questions or concerns you might have about the procedure.

Procedure

On the day of your Lipomelt Liposculpture, you’ll be comfortably settled under general anesthesia or a local anesthetic with sedation. Dr. Vitolo will use External Ultrasonic Assisted Liposculpture (EUAL) to precisely target and break down fat cells. A cannula, a thin tube, is then used to gently suction out the liquefied fat. This process allows for effective fat removal with minimal discomfort and scarring.

Recovery and follow-ups

After the procedure, you can expect some swelling and bruising in the treated areas, which will gradually subside. You’ll be advised to wear a compression garment to help contour your body and facilitate healing. Most patients can resume normal activities within a day or two, however the full result can take several months to mature. My patients love the convenience of having liposuction on Friday, and returning to work on Monday… with new bodies! Dr. Vitolo will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and ensure you’re delighted with the results.

FAQs

Does Liposuction have any side effects?

Like any surgical procedure, Lipomelt Liposculpture can have side effects, although they’re typically mild and temporary. Common side effects include swelling, bruising and discomfort in the treated areas. There may also be some numbness or a temporary change in sensation in your abdomen. Follow all post-operative instructions provided by Dr. Vitolo to minimize these effects and ensure a smooth recovery.

What’s the difference between Lipomelt Liposculpture and traditional liposuction?

Dr. Vitolo’s Lipomelt Liposculpture differs from traditional liposuction in both its approach and patient experience. EUAL uses ultrasonic energy to break down fat cells, making them easier to remove and often resulting in less trauma to surrounding tissues. This can lead to a quicker, more comfortable recovery compared to traditional liposuction. Additionally, Lipomelt Liposculpture focuses on minimizing visible scarring.

How long do results last?

The results of Lipomelt Liposculpture can be long-lasting, provided you maintain a stable weight and adhere to a healthy lifestyle. The removed fat cells are permanently eliminated; however, it’s important to maintain a healthy diet and regular exercise to prevent new fat deposits from forming in other areas of the body.

Can I get Scar Less Liposuction at the same time as another procedure?

Yes,Lipomelt Liposculpture can often be combined with another cosmetic procedure such as a breast augmentation or lift. Combining procedures can be an efficient way to achieve more comprehensive body contouring results. Dr. Vitolo will evaluate your overall health and aesthetic goals to determine if combining procedures is the safest and most effective approach for you.
