10) Liposculpture, from West London Clinic
If all else fails, Liposculpture is the latest buzz word in cosmetic surgery. Its now all about ‘body contouring’ - not just about fat removal, but about refining the shape. This is a mixture of liposuction techniques: including laser-assisted techniques, such as Smart Lipo, where an ultra fine tube is inserted under the skin, using a laser to dissolve the fat deposits. The body then metabolises this melted fat on its own. The procedure is relatively non invasive and is generally performed under a local anesthetic with minor discomfort. Hence it is the latest trend for those who want quick results without the hassle.
