Liposculpture : Liposculpture commonly refers to liposuction in which you are decreasing volume in a given area. The reduction in size of a region is related to fat removal and post-procedural scar formation that causes contraction. The reduction in skin is a minor element in liposuction. If there is a considerable amount of tissue other surgical procedures dedicated to tissue reduction should be considered. Be healthy and be well, james m. Ridgway, md.

Liposculpture, : Liposculpture, liposuction and lipoetching do not tighten the skin per se, but some skin retraction does occur, because the is smaller volume under the skin and the skin does not need to be as stretched. Good luck from nyc. For more info visit www.Drgrossman.Com.

Sometimes: Liposculpture, or liposuction, can sometimes result in mild skin tightening. If you have very loose skin, don't count on lipo to tighten the skin, you would need skin excision. http://www.dassmd.com/liposuction/liposculpture-in-los-angeles.html.

Slightly.: One small scientific study showed a modest tightening of the skin after laser-assisted liposuction. But, this study was sponsored by the laser manufacturer.
