Does Laser Liposuction Help in Treating Multiple Lipomas?

February 7, 2011
Asked By:Rochester1717 in Rochester, NY

I have multiple lipomas close to 30 on my arms, forearms, torso, proximal thighs for close to 6 years and has finally decided to get them removed. I want the least possible scarring and I am confused whether to go with regular excision surgery vs Laser Liposuction. Is laser liposuction effective for multiple lipomas?
