Whenever anyone considers any type of surgery, they want to set their expectations. Most questions revolve around what it will be like during and, especially after the procedure. Many patients that have undergone laser liposuction say they are satisfied with their results. They were glad that the recovery time was short and that they were able to get back to normal soon after surgery. Pain was minimal and for those who experienced any discomfort, over the counter remedies were all they needed. This is information is important to persons who are considering this procedure for themselves.
There is not much pre op to consider for this surgery. It is done on an out patient basis. Patients show up to the doctor's office and the area to be treated is injected with a local anesthetic. Once that has taken effect, a tiny cannula is inserted equipped with a laser. The fat is melted to a liquid and suctioned out. There is not much pain post surgery. Unlike traditional lipo where the surgeon uses a larger tool in a large incision and moves it around to dislodge solid fat, this surgery is far more gentle. The incision points are so tiny that they do not require sutures, resulting in little to no scarring.
Post surgery, patients have little bruising, swelling or scarring. Complications are rare with this type of surgery, especially without the use of general anesthesia which is known for causing the most post op problems. Patients undergoing this procedure can have it done on a Friday and go back to work on Monday. It is suggest to abstain from heavy activity for at least 48 hours and a compression garment is required to be worn for three days. After that it is generally smooth sailing.
As for cost, patients can also expect to pay less for laser assisted surgery than full surgery in a hospital. Most often this surgery is done in a doctor's office, reducing costs by a large margin. Patients can expected a sculpted look that they may not have seen on their bodies since their youth or ever. The surgery tightens the skin and prevents sagging or loose skin following the procedure which is a big plus. As with any surgery, this is not to be taken lightly. There is risk with every surgery and it should be used as a last decision after diet or exercise. Trying to the lose the fat on your own is always a great idea.
