What Is Laser-Assisted Liposuction?

Laser-assisted liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that allows you to remove stubborn fat from various areas of your body. The approach uses controlled laser heat to melt targeted fat cells beneath your skin, which are then removed from your body via suction. The use of laser also induces the production of natural skin-tightening agents called collagen and elastin, which give the treatment area a sleeker form. When performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, laser-assisted liposuction can provide you with effective and safe results that remove unwanted bulges of fat, tighten your skin, and sculpt the targeted areas. Laser-assisted liposuction helps you obtain a toned figure with well-defined contours.

What Are the Benefits of Laser-Assisted Liposuction?

Laser-assisted liposuction holds several advantages that include but are not limited to:

Short downtime. As a minimally invasive procedure, laser-assisted liposuction does not require you to rest extensively. Depending upon the treatment area, you can typically return to work two to three days after the procedure.
Permanent fat removal. Laser-assisted liposuction permanently removes fat cells from your area of concern and ensures long-lasting results. With permanent removal, it’s easier to maintain the outcome of your laser-assisted liposuction results long term by following healthy lifestyle and weight management practices.
Better precision. Liquifying fat before its removal ensures that unwanted lumps are not left behind in the treatment area after the procedure. This boosts your chances to obtain better results through your liposuction treatment.
Tightened skin. Many patients are anxious about developing sagging skin after fat reduction procedures. Laser-assisted liposuction addresses this concern by promoting collagen and elastin production, which leads to tightened skin across the treatment area.
Toned contours. When you get the dual advantage of fat removal and tightened skin via the same treatment, you can also enjoy the benefit of toned contours in place of your areas of concern.
Immediate results. By physically removing fat cells, laser-assisted liposuction lets you see your results right after the procedure. The full extent of the results becomes visible after swelling and bruising from the treatment subside in a few weeks.
Single treatment session. Laser-assisted liposuction delivers results from a one-time treatment session, providing you with sought-after results faster. You can then retain these results with healthy lifestyle practices afterwards.

To reap the rewards from laser-assisted liposuction, you can rely upon Dr. Zochowski to design a personalized plan for you. He also answers any questions that you may have about the most popular advantages of the procedure as compared to traditional liposuction.

How Does Laser-Assisted Liposuction Work?

Laser-assisted liposuction uses the heat energy that emanates from laser to melt stubborn fat cells. Once these fat cells are liquified, it becomes easier to remove them from your body using a cannula via suction.

With the use of local anesthesia, the treatment involves tiny incisions to allow the laser device under your skin. This laser melts the stubborn pockets of fat that you want to remove from your targeted treatment area. The same incisions are then used to extract the melted fat cells body using the cannula and suction, followed by using laser heat to tighten the skin for a contoured appearance.

With laser-assisted liposuction, you can remove stubborn fat from the following areas:

Under the chin
Arms
Abdomen

Flanks
Thighs
Male breasts

As laser-assisted liposuction can help with smaller volumes of fat reduction and traditional liposuction can work on larger pockets of fat, Dr. Zochowski will help you determine which approach would be a better fit for your unique situation.
