Advantages of Laser Lipo

Conveniently located to serve San Antonio and surrounding communities.

Traditional liposuction is invasive and requires a substantial recovery period. When you do not have weeks to spend recovering and instead want to get a sculpted appearance quickly, you may consider going with laser lipo. You can decide if laser lipo is right for you by learning what this procedure is and what benefits it can offer you.

What is Laser Liposuction?

Laser liposuction, also called laser lipo and Smart Lipo, is a minimally-invasive cosmetic procedure that liquefies the fat cells in the areas being treated. Unlike traditional liposuction, this procedure only requires a small, thin tube to allow the laser to liquefy the fat cells before removing them from your body.

This procedure has proven to be not only minimally-invasive but also faster and safer for patients to undergo when they want to sculpt their appearances. The laser used in the procedure encourages coagulation in the tissue, which in turn prevents hemorrhaging and excessive bleeding. It also helps reduce the risk of infection.

Treatment and Recovery Time

Laser liposuction itself is generally faster to complete than traditional liposuction. Most patients can have theirs done in a shorter period of time. They do not have to spend hours or days in the hospital prior to and after the surgery.

You typically can go home within hours after your surgery is complete. There should be minimal discomfort and swelling afterward, although you may feel slight discomfort and notice a small amount of bruising in the treated areas.

You can typically get back to your normal routine in just days. You should avoid heavy lifting or doing rigorous exercises until our doctor permits you to resume these kinds of activities. Even if the procedure itself was fast and easy to go through, you should still keep all of your follow-up appointments with our doctor so that he can ensure that you are healing properly.

Candidacy for Laser Lipo

As simple and fast as this procedure is, it still may not be ideal for everyone patient who is interested in it. Cosmetic surgeons have the obligation to prevent certain patients from undergoing this type of operation. You will go through a thorough examination prior to the procedure to ensure your good health and candidacy for laser lipo.

Laser lipo is one of the newest cosmetic procedures to sculpt your body and remove unwanted fat. It differs from traditional liposuction in several key ways. Find out if it is the right procedure for you by learning more about the advantages it can offer you as a patient.
