The Cost Of Laser Liposuction
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.
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.
A little less than $1,000 is the cost of laser liposuction but only for small areas. Spreading over a large area such a surgery can quickly cost up to $10,000.
The advantage with laser lipo is that it can be used for many different areas of your body. There are popular areas like the thighs and the stomach area but there are also more sensible areas which are great for the laser like the neck, arms or even the face.
While the laser is removing the fat by melting it, the traditional procedure works by inserting a needle that sucks the fat cells out. The disadvantage with this method is the risk of a bigger damage and blood loss.
Lipoplasty, liposculpture, suction lipectomy are different names for the surgical fat removal technique but the laser lipo is increasingly popular. Every year more of these surgeries are performed.
Liposuction surgery is performed more than 100,000 a year and has proven to be a safe way of surgical fat removal. Laser liposuction is a new technique but is also known to be very safe today. Like with any other surgery there are always risks. Another risk also lies in the abuse of the technique. It is not a weight loss strategy and shouldn't be used as one.
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.
