When do you see the difference after LipoLite

No liposuction will give a significant change in weight as the fat removed does not weigh much for its volume.

In some cases, the actual amount of weight loss will be minimal but your shape will be significantly better. I tell my patients to focus on how they look in the mirror and how clothes fit as opposed to the number on the... more
