The Cost Of Laser Liposuction
Aug 15th, 2008 by Linda A. Lithony
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 surgery is done under a local anesthesia. The cosmetic surgeon first inserts a little cannula under your skin. After the laser has done its work the surgeon can suck the fat out through this 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.
Laser liposuction cost are just a few hundred Dollars when you just want a quick fat removal for a small area of your body. However, if you want or need more then the costs can quickly raise to thousands of Dollars. A comprehensive liposuction surgery could cost you $10,000 and more.
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 use of the needle in the traditional liposuction causes more damage to the surrounding cells than the laser. The needle sucks the cells out of the body while the laser is melting the cells.
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.
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.
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.
