Second laser lipo and doctor removed only 700 ccs. Is this enough to see a difference?

Question

Harry T. Haramis, MD, FACS · Answer

In my experience, repeated liposuction in the same area does not yield a lot of fat. There is usually scar tissue which will cause longer healing time as well.The actual CC's of fat removed is less important than the results. Many times, repeated liposuction will address pockets or irregular areas of residual or recurrent fat.Close follow up with your plastic surgeon is recommended.

700cc of fat removed has no meaning without context. If you are lean, 700cc may represent a radical reduction in fat volume from a specific area or areas. If you are obese, it might produce a minimal visual change. Post some before and after pics if you want meaningful opinions.

David E. Berman, MD (retired) · Answer

the laser will melt and damage more fat than will be suctioned away but this damaged fat will be gradually resorbed by the body. also some of the benefit from Smartlipo suction comes over a 6 month period as the small strands of scar tissue tighten and contract, pulling things in tighter. Too many patients focus only on how much was removed but this is a result of many things, including how much fluid was infiltrated. Be patient and see how you improve over 6 months. also remember, you can help your final result by decreasing your total body fat through better dieting and exercising.david berman md
