How Does Laser Lipo Affect Fibroids?

Laser liposuction does not interfere with fibroids. Fibroids are in the uterus. Laser liposuction is in the fat underneath the skin. These are separate areas.

Hi there-

Fibroids are benign tumors of the uterus, which is inside of your abdomen... Liposuction (regardless of the machine used) is used to treat excess fat between the skin and your muscle layer.

For ANY kind of liposuction to have any effect on fibroids, the surgeon would have to have made a serious mistake.

 

Thank you for the question.

Laser liposuction does not affect fibroids in any way.  All forms of liposuction surgery treat adipose tissue below the skin ( not behind the peritoneum).

Best wishes.

Fibroids are benign masses inside the uterus. Liposuction works on the layer of fat between the skin and the underlying muscles. So, one thing has nothing to do with the other. Liposuction will not affect your fibroids one way or the other.

There is no relationship by doing superficial laser liposuction to internal uterine fibroids. Best to see your GYN and PS to discuss in person. 

A uterine fibroid is benign mass of the wall of the uterus associated with discomfort and excessive bleeding. Liposuction is the removal of fat under the skin and OVER the muscles. Laser Liposuction using very high heat, delivered through a laser fiber, to cook this fat which is then vacuumed away as with all other forms of liposuction.

Liposuction tools should NEVER penetrate the abdominal wall completely and touch or penetrate ANY abdominal structures, including the uterus, regardless of its having or not having fibroids. The heat of the laser lipo should NOT be high enough to cook any abdominal contents. That would be a disaster.
