Meaghan understands the desire to change one’s shape and has had a thigh liposculpture procedure herself in her mid 30’s. Exercise and training and maintaining a balanced diet are still necessary after cosmetic surgery to maintain results. Ageing, unfortunately, has an effect on the body’s fat deposits too, and despite no change to diet and exercise, Meaghan had another area of liposculpture at age 50 on her hips (flanks).

meaghan's story
Liposculpture can essentially be performed on most areas of the body, where there is subcutaneous fat (fat under the skin and on top of the muscle), including female breasts as a possible alternative to the more conventional breast reduction excisional surgery, in addition to male breasts / chest for gynaecomastia. Other areas are neck, face, chin, arms, waist, hips (flanks), abdomen, upper back, mid back, lower back, bra area, pubic area, buttocks, outer thighs, inner thighs, anterior thighs, back of thighs, knees, calves and ankles.
All cosmetic surgery carries risks. Be Sculptured website aims to provide balanced and accurate information, and aims to describe realistic results, so that patients may make informed choices about cosmetic surgery.
