liposuction is as safe as the person doing the procedure. what is most important is the technition not the tool, so be sure to go to an expert for treatment. liposuction is not a weight loss tool but can be used to contour and shape and is best when you are at a normal body weight with areas of disproportion rather than being over weight. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thanks for the question, yes the devices are safe that being said burns are possible but in experienced hands they are incredibly rare, hard to say what is the best procedure for you without a consultation. Revision liposuction can be tricky and you should see someone who is used to doing those complicated procedures

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Each time you go back for liposuction, it can be more difficult to remove the fat due to scar tissue. Laser lipolysis is just one of many techniques that can remove the fat.

Carlos Burnett, MD, FACS · Answer

Yes laser liposuction can be performed in a safe manner in patients undergoing re operative procedures. However, you need a thorough physical exam to see if you are a good candidate.
