Laser Liposuction Surgery

Laser liposuction or lipoplasty is a modern cosmetic surgery procedure for removing fat deposits under your skin by the use of high energy laser light. Using a laser instead of the traditional needle has several advantages.

Before the surgery starts a local anesthesia is applied to the targeted area. Thereafter the cosmetic surgeon puts a cannula under your skin in order to be able to suck out the melted fat.

A laser liposuction surgery can take anything between 30 and 120 minutes depending how many different areas are treated. The laser allows quicker working and a less invasive removal of the fat cells. The energy of the laser melts the fat cells which the can be removed with the cannula.

Depending on how long the surgery lasts, how much fat was removed and on how many different areas of your body it was applied, the costs can range between $1,000 for smaller areas to $10,000 for an extensive fat removal surgery.

The advantage with laser lipo is that it can be used for many different areas of your body. There are popular areas like the thighs and the stomach area but there are also more sensible areas which are great for the laser like the neck, arms or even the face.

The use of the needle in the traditional liposuction causes more damage to the surrounding cells than the laser. The needle sucks the cells out of the body while the laser is melting the cells.

Therefore the laser has become increasingly popular. Nowadays laser liposuction is the most popular cosmetic surgery technique. Liposculpture, lipoplasty or suction lipectomy are just other names for surgical fat removal.

Statistics show that over hundred thousand liposuctions are done every year. Liposuction surgery has become a safe way for fat removal. The new method of laser liposuction is no exception but the statistics also show that it is not an effective long-term method of losing weight.

If you want to remove less than ten pounds than you have the greatest chances of success. Keep in mind that the risk increases with the amount of fat you want to get rid with laser liposuction. The problem here is skin elasticity, blood loss and issue damage. Removing huge amounts of fat can even be fatal.

For best success you should be in good shape and in good health condition and only remove fat in limited amounts.
