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 surgeon uses a cannula to remove the fat under your skin. It is inserted under local anesthesia and as soon as the heat of the laser has melted the fat cells they get removed through the 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.

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.

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 traditional method uses a needle to suck the fat cells out of your body. You may have seen this procedure in the TV already. It looks quite brutal and in some way it is. That’s why the laser gains popularity. It works gentler and doesn’t cause that much damage.

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.

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.

Talk with your surgeon and clearly limit the amount of fat you want to have removed. The smaller the amount the better the results and the smaller the risks.
