  • How Effective is Laser Liposuction?

    If you’re looking for a way to surgically remove fat without the long recovery time of liposuction, laser liposuction might be the option you’ve been looking for. This new, high tech procedure is safer than conventional liposuction and is every bit as effective. With laser liposuction you can precisely remove fat from any area of the body. The recovery time is also significantly reduced meaning that you can be back on your feet in much less time.

    The procedure was developed in Italy and has traveled to the U.S under the name “Smart Lipo”. Here, people from all walks of life have gone under the laser to remove fat from awkward areas like the chin, thighs, the buttocks, stomach and from around the bra strap line. Women who’s bodies have been altered by childbirth especially find this an effective method of rejuvenating their curves.

    The effectiveness of laser liposuction is incredibly better than older methods to remove fat. Normally, in older methods of liposuction, patients needed to go back to the plastic surgeon to have a lift and tuck and remove other areas where the fat had reappeared. With this new, innovative way of melting fat rather than sucking it away, patients don’t need to keep going back for more surgery.

    Laser liposuction leaves no saggy skin. Instead, this technique actually tightens skin leaving it firm. In fact, recipients of this laser liposuction have reported that their skin is much firmer afterward than it had been before the surgery.

    The reason for this tightening of the skin is than the melting of fat stimulates the production of collagen under the skin. The collagen builds under the dermis keeping skin younger looking and tighter. A popular cosmetic procedure uses collagen, injected into the skin, to produce this effect artificially. With laser liposuction, however, this effect occurs naturally.

    Recent studies have been done on this effect of surgical technique. These studies showed that twenty percent of the skin shrunk in the areas where the laser was used on the patient’s body. When patients have less fat to be removed, this tightening effect is increased.

    If that’s not enough for you, there is a second advantage to laser liposuction. Patients have reported that the time it took them to recover is only two to three days. This recovery will require patients to wear bandages and will suffer some discomfort, but that’s a small price to pay in return for the long-term benefits of fat removal.

    If you’re looking for a way to surgically remove fat without the long recovery time of liposuction, ask your doctor about laser liposuction surgery.
