What is Lipomatic and How Does It Work?
Scientific Reference: NCBI article on Lipomatic safety and efficacy
Applications of Lipomatic
Lipomatic can be used to remove localized fat from various areas:
- Abdomen and flanks
- Back (bra line fat)
- Arms
- Thighs (inner and outer)
- Knees and calves
- Double chin and jawline
- Buttocks (in combination with fat transfer)
In some cases, the fat extracted via Lipomatic can be purified and reused for fat injection in the face or buttocks (a process known as fat transfer).
Advantages of Lipomatic Compared to Traditional Methods
- Shorter recovery time (usually return to daily activities after 2–3 days)
- Lower risk of infection, clots, and systemic complications
- Higher precision in body contouring
- No need for general anesthesia in most cases
- Possibility to reuse extracted fat for enhancement of other areas
According to research published on ScienceDirect, patients report high satisfaction rates, especially in abdominal, flank, and arm regions.
Procedure Steps
Lipomatic is performed in a clinical, sterile environment. The steps include:
- Consultation and assessment to identify target areas
- Local anesthesia or sedation (depending on the patient)
- Micro-incisions and cannula insertion
- Fat extraction using the device’s vibration system
- Application of compression garments post-procedure
Pre- and Post-Procedure Care
Before the procedure:
- Blood tests and anesthesia assessment if needed
- Avoid blood thinners and smoking at least 2 weeks before
After the procedure:
- Wear compression garments for 4 to 6 weeks
- Take prescribed antibiotics and anti-inflammatories
- Avoid intense activities and exercise for 2–3 weeks
- Consider lymphatic massage to reduce swelling
Who Is a Good Candidate for Lipomatic?
- Individuals with stable weight and BMI under 30
- Presence of fat resistant to diet and exercise
- Relatively elastic skin for better tightening post-fat removal
- No uncontrolled underlying health conditions
Results and Longevity
Final results of Lipomatic usually appear within 1 to 3 months and can last for years with a healthy lifestyle. While fat cells removed are permanently gone, weight gain may enlarge remaining fat cells in untreated areas.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, over 90% of patients are satisfied with their post-Lipomatic body appearance.
Comparison Table: Lipomatic vs. Traditional Liposuction
Feature | Lipomatic | Traditional Liposuction |
---|---|---|
Type of Anesthesia | Local or deep sedation | General anesthesia |
Recovery Period | 2–3 days | 7–10 days |
Contouring Precision | Very high | Moderate |
Bruising Level | Less | More |
Fat Reuse Capability | Yes | No |
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can the fat come back after Lipomatic? While the removed fat cells do not return, weight gain can affect untreated areas.
- Is Lipomatic painful? With local anesthesia or sedation, pain is minimal.
- Will the skin sag afterward? If the skin has good elasticity, it will tighten well. If not, complementary treatments like RF or surgery may help.
Consultation with a Specialist
To accurately evaluate your body, skin, and fat distribution, a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is essential. Our experts use advanced devices and follow international safety protocols to develop the best treatment plan tailored to you.
