Laser Liposuction Surgery
Laser Assisted Liposuction
Liposuction or lipoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure. Laser liposuction surgery is a modern technique to remove fat deposits under the skin by using the energy of laser light. The use of the laser has some advantages which I will explain in a minute. The plastic surgeon first applies a local anesthesia. After that a little cannula is inserted under the skin. Through this cannula the melted fat is removed during the surgery. The length of the procedure can take one or two hours. The use of the laser allows a gentle removal of the fat deposits. The heat of the laser is melting the fat which is then removed through the cannula. The cost of laser liposuction can start from $500 to $1000 for small areas while an extensive liposuction for more than one area can bring liposuction cost to $10,000 or more. Fat removal with laser liposuction can be done in many areas of the body like abdomen, thighs, buttocks, neck, backs or arms. The traditional method uses a needle to suck the fat out of the body. The use of the needle is effective but has a higher risk of skin and issue damage than the laser. Liposuction has become one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures. It's known under other names as well like liposculpture, lipoplasty or suction lipectomy. Today over 100,000 times a year a liposuction is performed. While it is a quick fat removal technique it is not a long-term treatment for overweight or obesity. Laser liposuction is the newest technique and is known to be pretty safe. The average amount removed is about 10 pounds. The bigger the amount the bigger the risks. Removing very large amounts of fat could even be life-threatening. Skin elasticity is one of the biggest problems followed by blood loss and a possible skin damage. If you want to remove less than 10 pounds of fat and if you have a good general health condition then your risks are very low and the outcome of the liposuction surgery should be very successful.
