Laser Lipolysis: Better Results, Less Risk

Getting rid of excess fat in the abdomen area through liposuction or tummy tuck surgery has always been popular method among many people.

However body-sculpting plastic surgery procedures sometimes leave patients at surgical risks and extra sagging skin.

As science and plastic surgery technology progress, patients are presented with less-invasive treatment choices which can produce better results and less risk. Laser lipolysis is a minimally invasive treatment which involves laser to melt fat.  

Laser lipolysis reduces the risks of a surgical procedure (tummy tuck) and when employed in conjunction with standard liposuction, the fat-melting action of laser lipolysis will produce new collagen which helps revitalize skin tone and texture.

Moreover, the laser prompts the collagen to contract which tightens the skin, eliminating the possibility of skin sagging—a common complaint after traditional liposuction procedure. 

The laser lipolysis allows removal of more fat than its standard counterpart.   

"Combining traditional liposuction with laser lipolysis has now been shown to produce well-sculpted bodies with tight skin. 

We are able to give people things such as a tighter abdomen without the need for surgery," said Abbas Chamsuddin, M.D., lead author of the study and an interventional radiologist at the Center for Laser and Interventional Surgery in Atlanta, Ga.
