Laser Liposuction— the future of cosmetic surgery?
You KNOW you have to go for liposuction surgery—you need to enhance your body image, you’ve researched the topic long enough, and you are a good candidate for surgery. Phew! Those fat pockets that seemed to stick closer than a brother can now be a forgotten memory, with a new great looking you.
But something just doesn’t fit. Would it be your fear of going under the knife, or a general worry of the complications that could arise after surgery? Starting with a doctor who manually cut out sections of fat, it’s been 30 long years since liposuction surgery first arrived on the scene. Today, the common procedure is much less scarier; one is under general anesthesia and the treatment proceeds like a minor surgery. However, for those even afraid to take that small risk, help is not far away.
Laser liposuction— is the doctor’s answer for your cry. Approved for use in the USA by the FDA since 2006, laser liposuction is all becoming the new rage. Although still done under anesthesia, only local sedatives are used to numb the area. The procedure is done in an office or a clinic, where the fatty areas to be dissolved are marked. The technique uses a laser to melt away the fat promptly, which the body drains naturally via its lymphatic system. The proximate skin then becomes tight, reducing flabbiness and giving it a youthful solidity. This procedure can be done almost anywhere in the body.
The great thing about laser liposuction is that each session hardly takes longer than a trip to your local beauty parlor for a pedicure—around 30-45 minutes. Most people resume normal activities within 24 hours, and there is no hospitalization necessary, because of the very short recovery period. Any mild pain can be eased with over-the-counter painkillers. Within two months, the area will have readjusted to the new form, and you will be able to notice the sculptured look. If you are not satisfied, you can go back for another session to reduce additional fat.
However, laser liposuction is not covered by insurance companies, being a cosmetic procedure, and it will generally set you back by at least $2000-$6000.Choose a reputed doctor, who has prior experience in the field, to guarantee better results. Make sure you research all your options well, and don’t compromise on quality just to save a few pennies, because it is your health at stake here.
Laser liposuction promises negligible scarring and blood loss, yet it involves piercing of the skin, although minimally invasive. No surgery is 100% risk-free, yet laser liposuction is one of the safest cosmetic treatments that are available to shed that fat and gain back your confidence.
