Laser Lipolysis
Liposuction remains the standard method to remove fat and contour the body. However, laser lipolysis became a widely accepted modality for the removal of unwanted fatty tissue, which is in many cases, superior to liposuction. Laser lipolysis liquefies fatty tissue, coagulates small blood vessels, and more significantly promotes tissue tightening. It is also useful for cellulite reduction.
One of the advantages of laser lipolysis is fast patient recovery. Most patients can return to normal daily activities already next day. Laser lipolysis may diminish postoperative pain, ecchymoses, and edema because of the coagulation of blood and lymphatic vessels. Additionally, due to the liquefaction of adipose tissue a small cannula size (~1mm) can be used to remove fat upon subsequent suction aspiration, inflicting less trauma. Moreover, in many cases aspiration is not required at all in smaller areas, such as submental, inner thighs, and knees, further limiting direct tissue trauma. Consequently, patients experience a rapid return to daily activities.
