The latest in surgical fat removal or lipoplasty is laser liposuction. The use of a laser has several advantages over the traditional method which uses a needle to suck out the fat cells under your skin.

Before the surgery starts a local anesthesia is applied to the targeted area. Thereafter the cosmetic surgeon puts a cannula under your skin in order to be able to suck out the melted fat.

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.

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.

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.

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.

For this reason the laser has become more popular. Today laser lipo is the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure and performed a thousand times every month. Demand for surgical fat removal, which is also known as lipoplasty or liposculpture, is steadily increasing.

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.

Removing very large amounts of fat can lead to serious complications and even death. Although the laser works more gentle, each surgery still means a damage to the body. There is also the problem of skin elasticity. Best results are achieved if not more than 10 pounds are removed.

For best success you should be in good shape and in good health condition and only remove fat in limited amounts.
