Laser Liposuction
I would need to know what “Laser Fat removal” session you are referring to. We expect results after one (1) session in a particular area. Revisiting the area later is not needed if the job was done correctly. You should be visiting a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for a consult and consider treatment with Vaser and laser.

Liposuction is a one time procedure usually
Although 10% may need additional improvement within the same area that underwent liposuction, most patients find that the area treated by liposuction is adequate and no further surgery is needed. Laser-assisted liposuction does not decrease the percent of patients needing secondary treatments, however, and in fact, depending on the skill of the provider, the heat generated from the laser could increase the risk of irregularities in the surface which might involve corrective procedures.

Dear soccermum,
Liposuction (whether laser assisted, ultrasound assisted, water assisted, suction assisted, etc.) generally requires only one treatment and produces excellent results when performed on an appropriate patient by an experienced surgeon. Noninvasive procedures such as Zerona, on the other hand, generally require a series of treatments, and the results tend to be very modest. I hope this helps.
Warmest wishes,
Larry Fan, MD

Ideal laserlipo candidate
You are a great candidate for laserlipo. It works so well in the love-handle, flank area. So far all my patients have been happy with their results in this area after 1 treatment. I am aggressive in this area a s it is a fibrous area so it takes time to get a great result. It may take me 1-2 hours to do a thorough sculpting in this area so pick a well qualified surgeon who is patient. Ask to see before and after photos of your surgeon's work and judge for yourself. Also be aware that...

It depends on the procedure you are doing. Liposuction is typically one time, others not.
SmartLipo and tumescent liposuction are a one time procedure usually. Whereas redos are possible, they are not typically necessary. Now, on the other hand, any other procedure that claims to rid you of fat that isn't invasive, whether it is Zeltiq, Zerona, Lipodissolve, etc, is not likely to be effective in this area, whether it is one procedure or many.
There is a reason that liposuction has a stellar rating - it actually gets the fat out! When combined with...
