What is Liposuction?
Liposuction, commonly referred to as "lipo" is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that removes excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body improving your body contours and proportion.
Vita Nova Aesthetics and Hormone Replacement we perform Laser-assisted liposuction "Smart-Lipo" in combination with Tumescent liposuction in order to achieve outstanding results. During the procedure a sterile solution of ringer’s Lactate mixed with Lidocaine and epinephrine is injected into the area where the fat is to be removed. The solution numbs the area and reduces bleeding thus makes it easier to suction the fat with minimal pain or bleeding. The addition of Laser-assisted liposuction, in which a laser it utilized to produce a burst of energy to liquefy the fat makes the process of fat extraction and harvesting even more efficient and less traumatic and adds a component of skin tightening in order to enhance the results of the procedure.
What is Lipo-sculpting?
Lipo-Sculpting is the process of enhancing certain areas of the body by removing fat from one area and when needed, re-injecting fat back into another area in order to shape and accentuate the area or correct anatomical deficiencies that were previously present or as a result of aging. This is done through Autologous fat transfer or fat Grafting?
