Different modes of liposuction work for different surgeons. In my practice, I combine laser and power assisted liposuction because I feel that the results are superior in regard to smoothness of contour, less puckering, and decrease in skin laxity. I have had no issues with postop discoloration or burns. Find a plastic surgeon and look at their results.Best wishes.
There are so many gimmicky fat removal treatments out there and it is rare to see any significant improvement with any of them. But to be fair, there may be a slight improvement but it helps a lot if you have a good imagination.
Doubtful but let you know after you have these therapies the results and degree of improvement..........
Thanks for sharing your question andphotos. I can appreciate your concern.Liposuction is the removal of fat from the body by using acannula. Some of the main issues with this procedure is that the skin remainsthe same without recoil.Not all LASER lipo technology is created equal. Theprinciple of using a cannula attached to LASER was to destroy and liquefy thefat prior to aspiration. However, the high temperatures resulted in burns orprolonged fluid collections.With the advance of technology, there is availability of newlaser devices with up to 3 laser wavelengths. One addressing the blood vessels,the second one melting the fat and the 3rd one helping tighteningthe skin (SmartLipo Triplex). The regulation of temperature favors the desiredoutcome at the same time that it controls for the undesired complications. Finally, make sure that you have a consultationwith a board certified plastic surgeon that specializes in after weight losssurgery.Wishing you the best in your journey

Thank you for submitring your question. laser liposuction will not affect your hormones. consult with a board certified Plastic Surgeon. Best Wishes
Microaire - power assisted liposuction (PAL) is a liposuction cannula which has a small motor. the motor causes the cannula to move forward and back (reciprocating motion) making it somewhat easier for the surgeon to perform the liposuction. Microaire liposuction will not tighten...
Liposuction is an excellent procedure for body contouring. Diabetics can safely undergo liposuction as long as the diabetes is controlled with medications and/or lifestyle. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
You are now 16 days after liposuction and there should be slightly less lumpiness than one week age. This tightening, smoothing and firming will continue for the next 6-8 weeks. The last phase of healing occurs when the firm feel to the fat layer becomes a soft feel like you had before surgery....
Great question! I agree you are not a candidate for CoolSculpting or Laser Lipo. From your pictures you are a perfect candidate for a full tummy tuck. A tummy tuck will help tighten the upper abdominal skin. You look like you are in great shape so the tummy tuck will help you get the tummy you...
