Lessen the chance of dimpling with liposuction see an experienced surgeon

No surgeon can guarantee you won't get irregularities after any type of liposuction, whether laser-assisted or conventional, but experienced surgeons have less chance of causing the depressions. Some patients with preoperative irregularities might have a higher chance of developing more depressions.
