The Shape of the Future

People often learn to draw the human body by using a configuration of spheres, cones and curves to achieve a proportionate whole. In much the same way, aesthetic surgery of the body seeks to return it to a youthful, harmonious blend of curves, by eliminating any xtraneous bulges and an angular appearance.

Body sculpting, or liposculpture, is particularly suited to people who are of relatively normal weight but have isolated pockets of fat that cause certain areas of their body to appear disproportionate. Hips and thighs, the abdomen, calves, ankles and chins are all areas that can benefit from this procedure.

Dr. Peter Dixon has been at the forefront of promoting figure sculpting. Since introducing the procedure to Australia Peter has developed a specialised approach.

There is one underlying principal...."It is not which machine or technique is used, but most important is the understanding that each figure has potential which the artist as surgeon can reveal."

The most frequently treated areas in women are the abdomen, hips, thighs, and knees. In men, the love handles, abdomen, and enlarged male breasts (gynecomastia) are most often treated. Other areas treated in men include the arms, neck, and face.

There are many fallacies, which some doctors or indeed dermatologists falsely promote.

My experience with liposuction since 1983 confirms:

• Liposculpture is NO different to liposuction.
• Liposuction cannot shrink skin.
• After the procedure there will be some softening of skin tension
• Tumescent procedures are NOT safer than other techniques. In fact often your body is left medically vulnerable when you are out of medical observation!
• An attending specialist anaesthetist can make your procedure more comfortable and better tolerated.
• Day case liposuction procedures should be restricted to small volume procedures and limited areas.
• An abdominoplasty will not reduce the fat thickness but does tighten skin.
• The experience of your surgeon determines the quality of your result.
