Fat (adipose) tissue plays a major role in defining our shape/figure and thus

appearance. LIPOSCULPTURE is the surgical reshaping of the fat contours of face

and body by "liposuction" and "fat transfer".The results can be truly astounding! 

All these pictures are of cases performed by Dr.Mike Henry at Taryn Laine

Clinic. (We understand the importance of showing you actual procedures that

have been performed at our clinic.)

LIPOSUCTION is  the sugical removal of fat, either by mechanical  "internal filing"

using suction assisted hollow cannulas, or first "melting" the fat using invasive

sonar energy probes ( VASER LIPOSELECTION ) or LASER energy probes

followed by the same mechanical  suction removal,thus reducing those pockets

and areas we just cannot sort out by diet and exercise alone.

FAT TRANSFER entails moving your fat from areas of excess to those requiring

volumising thus filling out hollow contours to create a more attractive shape.

This makes liposculpture a truly 3D sculpting art. It's your own fat so it is always

well accepted by your body. The fat just suctioned out is a precious resouce for which

pharmaceutical companies would charge thousands of dollars. So why throw it

away if its free and can safely be reimplanted into hollow or flat areas via similar

small incisions and cannulas.

We at TLC also offer the "Pippa butt lift".

The challenge has been to do it safely, with as little downtime and pain as

possible. Tumescent local anesthesia (with vasoconstriction) of target fat,

allowing for extremely safe virtually bloodless liposuction under Conscious

sedation, has become the gold standard worldwide.

Good liposuction is like making a superior wine. It simply cannot be rushed

and requires tranquil, sterile medical theatre facilities with no cost pressure

on time.

We at Taryn Laine Clinic provide such a setting, performing liposuction with

thin bore cannulas that are more time consuming but provide smoother results.

Vaser liposelection   for both fat removal and transfer and Laser liposuction

(Lipolite from Syneron) are now also available and add another dimension to

Liposculpture.

We do not advocate or practice liposuction under General Anaesthetic (GA) where 

surgical theatre and anaesthesia are being charged per minute since the time-cost

pressure on the surgeon to take shortcuts can be overwhelming. These shortcuts

include not allowing enough time for either the vasoconstrictor infiltrated into the fat

to really work properly (so leading to unnecesarily heavy blood loss) nor for the

meticulous sculpting that is required for a smooth and contoured result. The frequent

turning and repositioning of the patient that  is paramount for a good result is both

difficult and dangerous under general anaesthetic because it may cause dislodgement

of the endotracheal airway supplying oxygen to your lungs. Finally, serious mishaps

(like misdirecting the suction cannula into vital body organs) are far more likely to occur

under GA because a deeply anaesthetised patient can no longer react to protect herself.

Such mishaps almost never occur under conscious sedation. It is difficult to exagerate

how much greater safety has been brought to liposuction since modern 'up to date'

doctors have changed to Tumescent anaesthesia and simple sedation.

Do not imagine that you need a "GA".  Pain and discomfort under Conscious

Sedation and Tumescent Local Anesthesia  as performed at Taryn laine Clinic is

minimal; lying there "agonising" simply does not happen. Neither will you "bleed to

death". Infiltation of a blood vessel constrictor (adrenalin) into the fat has turned

liposuction into virtually a "bloodless" procedure. Attention to your fluid

ballance and the maximum safety limit on the amount of fat that can be removed

will not allow you to suffer circulatory shock. Almost all the liposuction horror

stories have occured when doctors did not use the modern combination of

Tumescent local anaesthesia and conscious sedation or observe the safety limits.

Safety, comfort and a meticulously sculptured result are our priority.

Postoperative pain is minimal for the first 12 to 18 hours whilst the local

anaesthesia remains in the targeted fat. Thereafter orally taken medication

keeps the pain well under control. Whilst wearing comforting supportive

compression garments, physical activity is encouraged and depending on the

area treated some have returned to work the next day; more extensive

liposuction and more sensitive areas may require a few days  to a week off work.

 Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure but a reshaping tool. The maximum

safe limit of fat removal at any one liposuction session is only 3 to 4 kg.Nevertheless

even as little as half a kilogram of fat removal from the right places can lead to amazing

body shape improvement. Weight gain after liposuction will not completely negate this

reshaping effect though, as fat increase tends to be widely and uniformly spread (like

icing on a cake) rather than to preferentially reaccumulate at treated sites.
