Laser Liposuction is a good alternative
Patient Selection is key. For localized results such as the neck, laser liposuction can yield good results (See the before and afters under my profile). Traditional liposuction is generally better for moderate to large areas.

Laser Liposuction
As with all surgeries, the hands the tools are in is the biggest factor in your outcome. Next, you will be at the mercy of “mother nature” in how you heal, and at the mercy of how well you treat yourself in recover, and the health of your lifestyle. Back to your question of the laser. Laser can have some benefit, but I find the Vaser to be more of an impact and the laser to be lesser so, but still important to the overall outcome. Thus, we use both modalities.

Laser lipo better for chin/neck?
To date, there is no study that shows laser liposuction provides better results than traditional liposuction for the chin/neck. Like traditional liposuction, it works, and some surgeons may feel it works better.

The primary determinant of your results will be the surgeon not technique
I personally perform laser liposuction and really like the technique. I feel there is less bruising and some additional skin tightening with the laser compared to tumescent lipo without the laser. HOWEVER, I still feel the primary determinant of the results will be choosing the right surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, even if he or she prefers regular tumescent lipo. Unfortunately, there are many non-plastic surgeons who offer laser liposuction...

Is "laser lipo" better?
To answer this question, you must first separate the marketing hype from actual clinical experience and well designed studies. Then, you need to apply the facts to real patients.
Laser liposuction claims to "tighten the skin" and result in less bruising and swelling. However, many of us who have used traditional liposuction, ultrasound liposuction, power assisted liposuction and now laser liposuction, have NOT seen any difference in most cases. The ultrasound and power...
