How much fat will laser lipo remove and how many sessions would I need to get rid of my stomach fat? (Photos)

Question

I want to be able to get rid of the stubborn fat I know I'll have to exercise and eat right but I want to make sure laser lipo would work on me ? And how much would it be?

The average patient should expect to lose two inches off their waistline and experience a two pound weight loss. You apparently are young and healthy with excellent skin elasticity, which makes you an excellent candidate for outpatient Liposuction.

Any type of well performed tumescent liposuction would get you what you want. The addition of laser lipo would enhance skin tightening. For optimal results I would advise to do a complete abdomen, waist and lower back lipo sculpture to really get a beautiful contour.

Your photos show that you are pretty fit and don't have much fat to remove. Laser liposuction should be able to remove all the extra fat around your abdomen in one session. It will take about four to six months before you see your final results. Consulting in person with a board-certified dermatologist who is an expert in laser liposuction will give you the more specific answers you are looking for.

The abdomen/stomach should be treated in only one procedure. You should expect excellent results on your stubborn fat.An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon who performs these procedures is recommended to confirm you are a candidate as well as discuss your options and expectations.

You're an excellent candidate for smart lipo. One session should do the trick. Expect an excellent result. Make sure you visit a plastic surgeon who has a lot of experience with Smart lipo and has done a lot of cases. Most importantly ask your friends where they went and look at their results and see if they are happy. Usually best way to make a decision. Good luck!

You are a great candidate to get both the love handles and a whole abdomen done in one session. The goal is to remove 80%-90% of the excess fat during Laser Lipo. It is a bit difficult to precisely predict how much fat that will be in your case without a exam in person, but I estimate between 1500-2000 cc. Good luck.

Thanks for your question and the photos – you are an excellent candidate for laser lipo and most would recommend that you do all of the areas in the same day and the same session.  The amount to be removed will depend on the pre-assessments but when done correctly, there can be significant fat removed.  The thing you need to do is to commit to the diet and exercise – some would even ask you to get into your routine for several months before doing the procedure – doing the procedure and not taking care of yourself is a waste of time.
Best of luck.

You are an excellent candidate for Laser Liposuction. One of the advantages of liposuction vs. non-invasive treatments, like CoolSculpting and Sculpture, is that it should only take 1 treatment to achieve your goals.  Liposuction can get all the fat out.  The laser increases the skin tightening.  You are also correct, that the  best results are seen in people who are exercising and taking care of themselves.  Good Luck

You are being mis informed in 3 ways. First: Laser Lipo (SmartLipo) is a laser initially followed by a cannula to suction out the marled or partially melted fat. It usually in your case would be recommended to be under general anesthesia with tumescent fluids. Under local anesthesia only, the surgeon could not be aggressive enough. Thus repeat sessions are usually needed. 2nd: You are a candidate for around 2+ liters fat removal by any liposuction method. Remember it is not the method of liposuction but the expertise of the Plastic Surgeon. Third: Be sure the surgeon is a boarded PS by the ABPS! Finally best to seek a few in person consultations from private practice boarded PSs in South Fl...
