Liposculpture
Liposuction remains one of the most accepted and popular aesthetic procedures in this country. Liposculpturing implies a three-dimensional removal of fat for a profiled look that blends in with your entire body shape. Dr. Sasaki believes an optimal result from liposuction depends on the amount of sculptured fat that remains rather than the quantity of fat removed. In most cases, the overlying skin conforms to the remaining fatty layer. In certain circumstances, however, skin folds develop as a result of loose skin that is unable to tighten after liposuction.

The doctor reduces irregularities that can occur with liposuction with a special basket-shaped cannula that breaks up collection of fat to smooth out the suctioned sites without removing the fat.
