Is laser lipo safe? I need to lose about 25 lbs. I'm 5'3 and 155 lbs now.

Thank you for your question.I would recommend consulting with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for best treatment plan. I hope this helps!

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

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.

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. 

YES! Laser Lipolysis or Smart Lipo safe. BUT you need weight loss not another lipo to lose 25 pounds. The most any type lipo can remove is 8 to 10 pounds or 4 liter max by FL Board of Medicine guidelines... 

My best guess is you do not need any form of liposuction.If either of the previously performed procedures were done correctly, your diagnosis is no longer subcutaneous fat.Sometimes loose skin can be deceptive and feel like thick layers of fat.Other times, intra-abdominal, or gut, fat can seem like fat that can be removed with liposuction, but it cannot.It would be a rare for anyone to ever need liposuction done three times.Please understand laser liposuction is simply liposuction with the adjuvant treatment of a laser.Please have a consultation with an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon to see what your true options are.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
