Laser liposuction is a quick and modern way of surgical fat removal. The high energy of the laser is melting the fat cells. Compared to the traditional method where a needle is sucking out the fat cells, the use of the laser has some advantages.
The surgery is done under a local anesthesia. The cosmetic surgeon first inserts a little cannula under your skin. After the laser has done its work the surgeon can suck the fat out through this cannula.
The surgeon can work fast and efficiently with the laser and the procedure can be done in just 30 minutes for a small area. An extensive laser liposuction for a bigger area of your body can also take two hours.
Laser liposuction cost are just a few hundred Dollars when you just want a quick fat removal for a small area of your body. However, if you want or need more then the costs can quickly raise to thousands of Dollars. A comprehensive liposuction surgery could cost you $10,000 and more.
With laser lipo you can remove fat from many different areas of your body. Most popular areas are the stomach area and the buttocks. But it also works for the arms, the back or the thighs.
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.
For this reason the laser has become more popular. Today laser lipo is the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure and performed a thousand times every month. Demand for surgical fat removal, which is also known as lipoplasty or liposculpture, is steadily increasing.
With more than 100,000 liposuction surgery performed each and every year, liposuction and especially laser liposuction has become a very safe and successful way of fat removal. Many people confuse it with a weight loss strategy but liposuction is not an effective weight loss method long term.
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.
