Laser Lipo. Is It Safe?

Laser Liposuction. Is It Safe? Not according to many Lipo Experts!
Laser lipos are going to the wayside because of a lot of problems and complications such as nerve damage, skin puckering, skin holes, infections, discolorations etc... and they are very cheap now a days for those exact reasons. Many docs who specialize in lipos don't use the lasers in liposuction surgery and use the tumescent technique local with the micro canulas to get great results safely.

Laser lipo safe?
Liposuction done for the right reasons, with the right indications, on the right patient, by the right doctor can be very safe. You have to be properly examined to make sure you do not have hernias, and have a consultation and exam by a qualified surgeon. Good luck.

Laser lipo after abdominal surgery. (Liver cleanser pills?????)
Any surgeon suggesting "liver cleanser pills" prior to liposuction is suspect as to training, experience, and ethics, since there is no such thing (medically-appropriate) as so-called "liver cleanser pills."

Laser lipo is safe in the right hands
Laser lipo is safe in the right hands and when used on food candidates. Prior abdominal surgery is a red flag. You may be a candidate but need to be carefully examined by a surgeon to determine your suitability. Also, I've been doing this for twenty years and dont know anyone that prescribes "liver cleanser" pills before lipo.

Laser Lipo
Every patient is different and without seeing you or seeing pictures it is difficult to give you accurate estimations on your suitability for surgery or expected recovery. Laser lipo is a safe and effective procedure when in the right hands. Make sure you are a seeing a board certified plastic surgeon for your procedure. As for the liver pills, this is something that you will need to discuss with your doctor.
Good Luck.
