Getting rid of belly fat!

In most cases traditional liposuction, if you have a large amount of fat, is the best way to go. If you have a small amount of fat than the laser liposuction may be the answer but it may take more than 2 to 3 times to accomplish the goal.

Permanent Removal of Belly Fat

It’s very difficult to definitively answer your question without seeing you, or at the very least seeing a photo; however, I use a combination of tumescent, ultrasonic and laser liposuction, and it very much depends on location of the fat etc. Jonathan Ross Berman, M.D. , F.A.C.S.

Removal of Belly Fat and Love Handles

The BEST Liposuction method for me

It is not a replacement for a tummy tuck (where skin needs to be removed and the muscles need to be tightened to get a tight tummy) nor is it a replacement for eating properly and exercising. Do not fall for external lasers, for internal lasers or laser liposuction, for a variety of... more

Smartest liposuction is done by a good surgeon and for the right reasons

Forget lasers for liposuction - while they may be helpful in some circumstances, it is the skill of the surgeon that makes the difference because liposuction is surgery. Lasers do not make the procedure safer or more effective.

Skill and judgment surpasses any liposuction machine

If you are at your ideal weight and have inherited fat pockets you are the ideal candidate for liposuction, and yes, it is permanent. The type of liposuction is not as important as the skill and judgement the surgeon puts into the work. You can get dents with any system, laser, tickle, ultrasound, water, tumescent. If you focus on the surgeon rather than the system being marketed you should have the best chance at a great result.
