what isFat shaping？What is the difference between it and simple liposuction?

Body Sculpting is a body sculpture concept developed based on liposuction technology. It emphasizes not simply weight loss, but shaping the body curve ratio by reducing fat accumulation at specific parts and optimizing fat distribution. Different from the traditional simple liposuction of "sucking wherever you are fat", fat shaping pays more attention to the overall aesthetic beauty of the lines, such asvest line, abdominal segmentation,peach hip, right-angled shoulders and other refined sculptural effects.

What is autologous fat filling? What parts can I fill in?

Autologous lipofilling is a process where fat obtained during liposuction is purified and injected into the area where volume needs to be increased. Compared with fillers such as hyaluronic acid, autologous fat comes from itself, has no risk of rejection, feels natural, and once it survives, the effect can be maintained for a long time.

Note: Autologous fat filling has a certain absorption rate, and usually requires 1-3 filling times to achieve a stable effect. The number of filling times varies depending on the individual's constitution and location.

How long will you recover after fat plastic surgery?

• 1-3 days after surgery: Swelling and exudation are the most obvious. Wear corset clothes and follow doctor's advice to change dressing

• 1 weeks postoperatively: Swelling has subsided significantly, allowing light physical work to resume

• 2-4 weeks after surgery: Most of the swelling subsides and the shape begins to appear. Continue to wear corset clothes

• 1-3 months after surgery: The effect is gradually stable, and the corset can gradually reduce the wearing time

Important note: Shaping clothing is the key to postoperative recovery! It is recommended to wear 24 hours for the first 1 months to help skin fit, reduce swelling, and shape lines. Follow doctor's advice for specific wearing hours.

Common misunderstandings about fat shaping

Myth 1: Skin will relax after liposuction

The skin has a certain elastic retraction ability, and the skin of young people with good skin conditions will naturally retract after liposuction. People with obvious skin slack (such as postpartum abdominal slack) may need to cooperate with skin tightening projects or abdominal wall plasty.

Myth 2: You won't lose weight after liposuction

The number of fat cells is relatively constant in adulthood. Liposuction reduces the number of fat cells in specific areas. However, if you do not pay attention to diet and lack exercise after surgery, the remaining fat cells can still increase in size, and other areas may still gain weight.

Myth 3: Want to smoke many parts at once

There is a safe upper limit on the amount of liposuction (usually no more than 5000ml at a single time), and excessive liposuction can increase the risk. Doctors will perform operations in multiple stages according to individual circumstances, with safety first.
