Laser Assisted Liposuction - Pros And Cons

August 5th, 2009 · No Comments

Laser Assisted Liposuction is one of the new techniques for liposuction. It has been popularised in Europe, China, and Japan but only recently in America. Laser liposuction carries with it a set of benefits and disadvantages. This article is to give a balanced view so as to assist the reader in making informed choices about laser liposuction.

Advantages of laser assisted liposuction

One obvious benefit of laser liposuction is the increased rate of recovery. Patents using this technique can cut to one to two days of recovery time and decreases blood loss during the procedure. It is quite common for patients to return to their homes after a short period of rest. For some, they can even return to normal activity with only small discomfort. In some of the cases the subject was requested to wear a compression garment for a week.

More importantly, laser assisted liposuction also reduces the post-operative pain. In order words, you suffer less when the operation is done through laser, rather than through traditional liposuction. The reason is because laser assisted liposuction only targets the “yellow material”, or fat, in the body, allowing the body to absorb up to 500 mL on its own without any suction.

Finally, laser assisted liposuction can have the positive effect of tightening the skin. Patients need not have to worry about going through other procedures to tighten the excessive skins that are bought about by the liposuction. n order words, a patient can save on the costs of these additional operations.

Costs of laser assisted liposuction

One of the limitation of laser liposuction is that it can only work well for small areas. Too large an area would mean a more intense laser with longer duration, which could result in the skins being burnt. This means people with large layers of fats need not apply. For this group of people, having a healthy diet and regular exercise is a better way to go. For laser assisted liposuction, it is more suited for the following:

* chin liposuction
* neck liposuction
* facial liposuction
* tumescent liposuction

The other disadvantage of laser assisted liposuction is its costs. This is the result of new technologies and new processes. Fortunately,I think the cost will come down over time as the costs of the machines and training has been depreciated. All these will drive the initial costs high. However, I expect the cost to come down over time and this disadvantage might not be relevant in a couple of years.

Conclusions

We should recognise that laser liposuction is not a magic cure for obesity. In fact, I recommend that healthy people only consider this procedure to remove fats in difficult areas. Do bear in mind that surgery always possesses certain health risks, even though the risk factors may be low. Hence, to repeat, only if you have a well balanced diet and exercise regiment but has a couple trouble spots that won’t disappear, then the ideal solution would be laser liposuction.
