Liposculpture [ARCHIVED]
Liposculpture is not just about removing fat from your body, it is about reshaping it! As its name suggests, this modern variation on liposuction seeks to re-sculpt your body by removing fat from specific areas and sometimes, injected back into other areas to add volume. This is achieved by a combination of liposuction and fat grafting. At Clinica Jóia, we offer all of these different modalities and are able to expertly combine them to help you achieve your dream body.

Proven Success
Typical Uses
Liposculpture is done to alter the shape of the body by removing fat from certain areas of the body that haven’t responded well to diet and exercise, and adding it to other strategic areas. Areas which clients seek to resculpt are typically the:
- Abdomen & Flanks
- Outer Hips
- Inner Hips & Knees
- Chest in Males
- Chin
- Brazilian butt lift
- Tummy
- Buttocks
- Calves and ankles
- Hips and thighs
- Chin and neck
Whilst liposculpture typically generates positive results, this remains a highly individualized procedure which you should only do for yourself, and never to fulfill someone else’s desires or to try to fit any sort of ideal image. Nevertheless, this procedure can help to improve your body shape and achieve your weight-loss goals.
What It Entails
The process of your liposculpture treatment entirely depends on the type of liposuction treatment you choose, be it Power-assisted liposuction (PAL) or Laser-assisted liposuction, and is also dependent on whether fat grafting is required.
Power-assisted liposuction (PAL) and SmartLipo, both of which are offered as liposuction treatments at Clinica Jóia, use different techniques to loosen your body fat and remove it through a process of suction.
This may then be followed by a process of fat grafting, where the fat suctioned from your body undergoes a purifying process, before being transferred to another area which requires augmentation, such as the face, breasts, hips, buttocks, hands and feet.

Frequently Asked Questions
The most common side effect are, swelling, bruising, numbness of area treated and discomfort on touch.
Whilst liposculpture procedures are said to yield permanent results, it is important to remember – as with any body shaping programme – that such procedures need to be accompanied by a sensible diet and a healthy lifestyle to maintain peak condition and efficacy. The permanence of results stem from the fact that this procedure not only destroys the fat, but also the “pockets” in which the fat accumulates. As we do not have the capacity to produce new cells of this type, the areas treated are not able to re-expand again. However, if the patient gains a substantial amount of weight, the results cannot be guaranteed to last areas of the body
The results expected will be discussed during the initial consultation where the doctor would have taken into consideration your skin and muscle quality together with other determining factors. Results of liposculpture are spectacular to say the least, but, some candidates may be advised that additional procedures such as excision of skin may be required in order to achieve a more complete result
Follow-Up Procedures
Following the procedure,you will be followed up until the Doctor is happy with your healing and the final expected result has been achieved.
