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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Best success is achieved if less than 10 pounds of fat are removed. The risks of a skin or issue damage and a large blood loss increase with the amount of fat removed. Another problem is the elasticity of the skin.

If you want a perfect outcome than bring your body in shape long before the surgery. A good general health condition and a clear limit on the amount of fat that is going to be removed leads to good results.
