Liposculpture is the practice of using liposuction to create a more desired body shape. It is a form of cosmetic surgery in which fat is removed from certain target areas. It may also involve inserting the fat into other areas that the patient wishes to enhance, alternatively, artificial implants can be used to enhance areas.

Liposculpture may seem like an easy alternative to diet and exercise but medical guidance holds that it is not. It can be expensive, time consuming and very painful. As with all surgery, it carries with it certain health risks.
It is not considered a weight loss method, with typically less than 10 pounds being removed. This highlights the procedure's sculpting function. It is designed to remove fat from areas that prove to be very difficult despite a healthy diet and exercise. There is also the issue that because of blood loss, there is a limit to the amount of fat that can be removed safely in a single session.

Liposculpture can cause the appearance of dramatic weight loss due to it's sculpting properties.
