By definition, liposuction is the removal of body fat using a suction technique and liposculpture is the sculpting of body fat. Used loosely and synonymously, the cosmetic enhancement procedure known as laser liposuction is more precise at targeting fat cells while causing minimal harm to nearby tissue. Instead of the typical tools used in traditional liposuction, a small, tube-like surgical instrument called a ‘cannula’ housing the laser is placed inside the part of the body and then used to turn the fat cells to liquid. Following this procedure the now liquid fat is extracted from the body via tiny cuts.
Unlike standard liposculpture, the method of breaking the fat before suction is much more gentle. Where mechanical force or chemical injections were used in traditional methods of fat removal by suction, laser liposuction is more precise at targeting fat cells while causing minimal harm to nearby tissue. Instead of the typical tools used in traditional liposuction, a small, tube-like surgical instrument called a ‘cannula’ housing the laser is placed inside the part of the body and then used to turn the fat cells to liquid. Following this procedure the now liquid fat is extracted from the body via tiny cuts.
Laser lipo is safer and has far less recovery time than the conventional procedure. During laser lipolysis, the liposuction surgeon will reshape your figure utilizing only a little cannula as well as an advanced laser, which gives precise figure sculpting and assist the skin tightening. Using the laser method no sutures are necessary, and any scarring is negligible.
Laser fat removal is a relatively simple process in theory and the typical procedure will take a few hours. With this type of lipo, the patient remains awake the whole time during the treatment since local anesthesia is all that is administered. Since the patient is not fully sedated they are released to go home almost as soon as the surgery is complete and post surgical touch ups are finalized. An additional plus point is that the majority of people can return to all usual daily routines in a matter of days.
