About Advanced Body Sculpting Institute

The Advanced Body Sculpting Institute was founded by John A. Millard, MD in September 2005 with the understanding that there was a disconnect between the education a surgeon needed to succeed in the arena of body sculpting, and what options were currently available for surgeons looking to enhance their skill levels. 

Although liposuction is one of the most popular surgical procedures performed in the United States, there is an unfortunate lack of quality providers.  This gap exists because liposuction growth has been fueled by public demand for the procedure, forcing many less-than-qualified surgeons into the category.  Although results may be typical, these surgeons have not invested the time, energy and resources needed to understand how to truly provide the amazing aesthetic results achievable with the latest technology innovations in liposuction.

It is the mission of the Advanced Body Sculpting Institute to provide surgeons looking to improve their skill level and understanding of liposuction as an art form, the education and resources needed to make them succeed.  Our students will become master of 'liposculpture' body contouring, taking the technology and technique to new heights in form and results. 

ABS Institute promises to stay at the forefront of liposculpture technology and innovation, fueling the growth and progression of the industry.  Our goal is to make only the most educated surgeons, and the most progressive technologies the standard of liposuction care in the world.

Taking Your Skill As A Surgeon To The Next Level

In the mind of most plastic surgeons, liposuction is a non-creative, non-artistic, mundane procedure that requires little skill and training. This is due to the limitations that traditional liposuction imposes when one confines themselves to deep fat removal only. With the combination of technology, surgical skill, artistry, and the understanding of human anatomy, the real definition of liposculpture can be realized.

“Why limit oneself to 'sucking out fat' and simply reducing the size of the deformity when it is possible to sculpt and rebuild a body section, as when working with marble.” -Gasparotti

In essence, all courses focus on three primary objectives: art and beauty, fat anatomy and how to put available technologies to best use.

Introduce A New Revenue Stream Into Your Practice

High-definition liposculpture is an advanced liposuction technique that enhances the visibility of well-toned muscles. It is intended for generally fit men and women who seek greater visibility of their muscular detail and has the potential to lead to significant practice expansion by introducing a new demographic group to this procedure.
