Some women find them single again after the age of 40, or maybe they never married in lieu of a career. Whatever the reason, they are on the dating scene. Metabolisms may have slowed, or some may have had babies, but there is some extra fat hanging around that just won't budge. Laser liposuction might work for spot reducing for this time in a woman's life. It can allow a woman to look youthful and get back in the game. The surgery doesn't leave scars, is not a drastic operation and there is little to no down time.
Surgery is most often performed in a doctor's office wit local anesthesia for the treated area. Lidocaine restricts blood vessels reducing blood loss. The doctor will insert a tiny cannula that resembles a hallowed out needle. The cannula is fitted with a laser and is inserted into the skin using the tiniest incisions. Under the skin, the laser melts the fat to liquid and then safely removes it from the body. No sutures are required post operation for the incisions producing little to no scarring. The procedure takes only about one hour per body part and patients generally leave the office after about three hours. Laser liposuction is safe and mostly risk and infection free. The procedure is a great choice versus traditional liposuction for small areas of fat loss. The perfect candidate is someone who is active, eats a well balanced diet and in healthy.
Women in their forties are looking better than ever. They care about their appearance and take care of their bodies. The boost they get from fat reduction lifts their confidence and allows them to be discreet about the surgery. Swelling, bruising and scarring are not experienced and the down time is pretty much null. A patient can go back to work the next day. Although, the doctor advises little to moderate activity, work, going out to dinner, the movies and other less heavy activities are allowed. A compression garment is required post op to prevent swelling. This is usually a biker short or girdle type garment for lower body and an ace bandage type garment for arms, and other smaller areas. The garment is generally hidden for most areas. The only surgeries that may require absence from work is double chin or neck surgery because the ace bandage type of compression garment is visible.
