Laser liposuction is a cutting edge technological development over traditional liposuction. Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure to remove extra fat from the body and to regain a slim and trim figure. Although this form of cosmetic surgery has been in use for nearly thirty years, the new laser liposuction (laser lipo) procedure has advantages over the older, more traditional surgical procedure. In this modern age, scientific and technological development has brought about great changes in traditional liposuction by the introduction of the laser. This has made the process of removing excess body fat easier and less painful than what it was a few years back. The new laser lipo technique is less painful and does not leave behind any scars that are normally associated with this kind of surgery.

The laser liposuction procedure is very simple and convenient. The doctor inserts a small probe or cannula that contains laser fiber of low energy into the targeted area. The energy in the probe melts the fat cells and destroys them. Afterwards, the melted, destroyed fat cells are removed from the body first by drainage or squeezing out from the small hole left by the probe and second, the remaining small amount of melted fat is absorbed and excreted by the body naturally. The laser energy does not cause any type of damage to the surrounding tissues. The laser liposuction procedure for a single area takes about an hour’s time and the whole process takes place under local anesthesia so the recovery time is less than traditional liposuction surgery. Moreover, less scarring has made laser liposuction the favorite choice for removal of facial fat – especially in the chin area.

The main advantage of laser liposuction is that it requires no incisions that are normally required for other types of liposuction surgeries. Only a small hole is left from the entry of the cannula. Therefore, the recovery time in laser liposuction is only two days as compared to other surgeries that require nearly two weeks’ time for recovery. Moreover, maintaining the safety of the adjoining tissues does not cause other types of complications that may arise in surgeries done with incisions. Another benefit of laser liposuction is the harmful effects of anesthesia are minimized. Laser liposuction only requires the application of local anesthesia in the targeted area. This is enough to perform the surgery whereas in other types of liposuction or cosmetic surgery general anesthesia is required.

Laser liposuction has many benefits over traditional liposuction. A person can easily lead a normal and healthy life immediately after undergoing laser liposuction surgery. The recovery time in laser liposuction is faster and is less painful because there are no incisions or stitches as are required in traditional liposuction and other types of surgeries. The fact that there are no incisions involved also helps to reduce the other risks and complications that can often occur with normal surgeries. The problem of loose skin does not arise after laser liposuction because there is no tearing of the fat cells due to the insertion of steel tubes and the suction involved with traditional liposuction. There is also less bleeding and pain in laser liposuction
