What is  lipomatic?

Lipomatic, also known as liposculpture, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove stubborn body fat. It is ideal for individuals whose fat deposits cannot be reduced through diet or exercise, such as fat on the upper arms or the abdomen after pregnancy.

Key Advantage: This procedure allows precise body contouring and enables the extracted fat to be reused for enhancements in other areas like the breasts or buttocks.

Fat Volume and Anesthesia Type

• 2 to 4 liters of fat: Local anesthesia is sufficient
• More than 4 liters of fat: General anesthesia is recommended

Warning: Prolonged use of local anesthesia may cause shortness of breath or heart palpitations.

Maximum Extractable Volume: Up to 12 liters of fat can be removed during a Lipomatic procedure, under the supervision of a specialized surgeon.

The Lipomatic Device and How It Works

Lipomatic is an advanced liposuction technology that breaks down fat using mechanical vibrations and ultrasonic waves.

• Cannula: A 2–5 mm diameter metal tube inserted into the target area. The surgeon moves it back, forth, left, and right to loosen the fat.
• Aspirator: A device that removes the liquefied fat and other fluids from the body.

Key Features of the Lipomatic Device

• Minimal damage to surrounding tissues, including nerves and blood vessels
• Uniform and precise fat removal
• Extracted fat can be reused for injections into other body areas

The Lipomatic Procedure

1. Anesthesia

• Less than 4 liters of fat: Local anesthesia
• More than 4 liters: General anesthesia

Medical Advisory: Prolonged use of local anesthesia without supervision may cause palpitations, shortness of breath, or low blood pressure. Patients must be closely monitored.

2. Cannula and Aspirator

The cannula loosens fat using forward, backward, and rotational movements, and then the aspirator removes it from the body.

3. Fat Reuse

Extracted fat can be purified and reinjected into areas like the breasts, buttocks, or face, providing natural body contouring.

Ideal Candidates for Lipomatic

• Adults over 18 with relatively stable weight
• Medium to low BMI
• Men and women
• Free from serious cardiac, kidney, liver, or clotting disorders

Note: Pregnant or breastfeeding women should not undergo this procedure.

Scientific Benefits of Lipomatic

• Highly precise body contouring
• Lower risks compared to traditional liposuction
• Quick recovery: Usually 5–7 days for light activities
• Minimal scarring
• Reusable fat for injections into other areas

Risks and Safety Considerations

Common and Temporary Side Effects

• Bruising and swelling (2–3 weeks)
• Temporary numbness in the treated area
• Seroma (fluid accumulation under the skin)

Rare but Serious Complications

• Fat embolism
• Blood clots
• Low blood pressure
• Irregular contours if performed by an inexperienced surgeon

Warning: Lipomatic performed in unlicensed centers or by non-specialists can result in serious and irreversible complications.

Post Operative Care

• Wear a compression garment for at least 2 weeks
• Maintain a healthy diet and adequate hydration
• Light activities such as walking are encouraged
• Resume intense exercise after 2 weeks
• Regular follow-up with the medical team

Body and Facial Areas Suitable for Lipomatic

Lipomatic is a flexible method for removing resistant fat from multiple areas, allowing the surgeon to achieve precise, natural body contouring.

• Abdomen and flanks: Removes stubborn fat post-pregnancy or weight gain
• Arms (upper arms): Reduces tough fat deposits and improves arm shape
• Thighs (inner and outer): Smooths contours and reduces resistant fat
• Buttocks: Shapes and harmonizes with thighs and lower back
• Back and waist: Removes localized fat and improves body contours
• Chest: For men (gynecomastia) or women (fat grafting for volume)
• Face: Cheeks, chin, jawline, and neck to reduce fat and enhance natural features

Lipomatic and Abdominoplasty

Lipomatic has a skin-tightening effect, provided the patient’s skin is not excessively loose. Significant fat loss may lead to skin sagging, especially in the abdominal area. For this reason, many specialists combine Lipomatic with abdominoplasty for optimal results.

Arm Lipomatic

Upper arm fat is often stubborn and resistant to exercise.

• Arm Lipomatic: Safely targets and removes these deposits, restoring a natural arm shape.
• Arm Lift (Brachioplasty): A minor complementary surgery to address skin sagging after fat removal. Combining Lipomatic with an arm lift ensures firm and natural-looking arms.
