You are very lucky if you have waited until now to consider undergoing liposuction or body contouring liposculpture. The new laser liposuction techniques are a vast improvement over traditional methods. New laser technology melts the fat and tightens the skin, resulting in a much smoother liposculpture procedure and minimal loose skin after liposuction.

Whether you have a double chin, postpartum belly fat, saddlebags, a spare tire, or just small problem areas around your hips or thighs, the new laser-assisted liposculpture and laser body contouring techniques may be what you’re looking for. .

Not all machines in use are the same. Some laser wavelengths, such as 924nm and 924/975nm, work much better than others. You need to understand which technology is best if you are considering laser liposuction.

Liposuction is the most commonly performed plastic surgery operation.

Problems Associated with Traditional Liposuction-Traditional liposuction is performed by inserting a metal tube called a cannula under the skin in areas of the body that contain fat. High pressure suction is applied and the fat is suctioned out from under the skin. While the procedure works well, it is traumatic as the suction removes not only the fat but also some of the connective tissue that holds the skin tight against the body. There are several problems that can occur after liposuction:

o Sagging skin after liposuction
o Contour deformities-skin irregularities
o Prolonged bruising
o Difficult and painful recovery

How laser liposuction works-During laser-assisted liposuction, a very small laser fiber is inserted under the skin. The heat from the laser melts the fat into a thin liquid. So liquid fat is more easily removed with very small cannulae, usually only 2-3 millimeters in diameter. The heat from the laser also tightens the skin and closes off many blood vessels, so you bleed less.

Advantages of laser liposuction

o Skin tightening !!!!!!!
o Fat liquefaction = Fewer contour deformities
o Uniform appearance of the skin after liposuction
o Smaller cannulas = Small incision
o Much less traumatic
o Can contour visible areas on slimmer patients
o Great for touch-ups after standard liposuction

Which laser is best for liposuction?

There are several different machines available that use several different laser wavelengths: 924nm, combined 924/975nm, 1064nm and 1308nm are the most popular.

I prefer the 924nm laser and the 924/975nm combination because 924nm is very selectively absorbed by adipose tissue. 924nm liquefies 3 times more fat than some of the other wavelengths and is also more strongly absorbed by blood vessels, helping to reduce bleeding and bruising.

Are you a candidate for laser liposuction?
If you’re healthy, don’t smoke, and have extra fat under your chin, around your belly, on your hips, thighs, arms, or knees, and are relatively fit and not obese, then you’re probably a great fit. candidate for laser liposuction. The younger you are, the better your skin will tighten after laser liposuction. However, I have seen good skin tightening after laser liposuction in a 70 year old.

If you are obese and significantly overweight, you must first lose weight before liposuction.

If you are considering laser liposuction, you really need to know the facts and understand the technology. Once you do, the advantages of the new 924nm and 924/975nm based laser liposuction technology are obvious: there is nothing like it on the market.
