Liposuction Weight Loss

There is nothing more discouraging then spending hours upon hours at the gym, just to find that your excess fat is not responding to your dedication. Fat bulges can occur for a variety of reasons from an unhealthy diet, aging and pregnancy weight gain or just plain unfair genetics. Ridding your body of this excess fat is not as easy as gaining it. With the obsession of body image so prevalent in the American culture, there have been a variety of procedures made available for those looking for an immediate result with less effort. Laser fat removal is a non-invasive and short procedure conducted within many cosmetic surgeon’s offices all of the United States.

Laser liposuction is a non-surgical approach of liposuction and is the latest method in fat removal. The technique implements the power of lasers to dissolve unwanted fat and tone skin all in the comforts of a general office setting and requires no general anesthesia. You can target almost any area in the body for this procedure. You can have fat removal by laser performed on your waist, hips, buttocks, chin, inner and outer thighs, upper arms, man breasts, pubic mound, back of neck and the face (except for near the eyes).

Two options for removing fat are cold laser fat removal where a laser is used to painlessly melt the fat without an incision being made, and lipolite laser fat removal, an exciting new treatment that is minimally invasive and will destroy fat cells, effectively in areas where liposuction is not the best option, like beneath the chin and around the upper arms.

Laser fat loss procedures are not the right method for everyone. Obviously anyone undergoing any form of cosmetic surgery should be in good health, however only those who have an active lifestyle and are not overweight are ideal candidates for this method of fat removal. Even those who are not overweight who suffer from diabetes, blood disorders, heart problems, kidney problems and skin disorders are not good candidates.

While this procedure is semi-permanent, it does not prevent you from future weight gain. If you fall into the trap of an unhealthy diet, and do not continue to exercise, the fat pockets will return. Fat cells can return no matter what procedure you undergo, so diet and exercise, like always, is the key to maintaining a healthy and attractive body.

Patients can undergo a number of different sessions depending on the range of areas they want improved. Each session will take between 30 and 45 minutes and will be performed under a local anesthetic applied only to the areas that are being lasered. During the procedure, the laser will be fired near the skin to break up built up fat pockets under the epidermis. The fat cells will turn to liquid and will leave the body naturally. The procedure is practically pain free, however, the recovery process can be uncomfortable. Most patients are able to return their normal lifestyle after just 24 hours.

Laser fat removal cost can vary based on the area and the surgeon. While the price range is typically from $2000 to $6000, the normal cost associated with one procedure is around $2500, however most people do not desire one area to be targeted. Consult a qualified surgeon and request to review their fees table.

No matter what area you are in need of liposuction for weight loss, be sure to review all the physicians’ qualifications and ensure you are choosing a reputable surgeon.
