With all the advertisements about liposculpture, laser liposuction and any other form of body sculpting, people think that the procedures are totally safe and free from any risk. They also believe that it is quick and painless. In fact, there are even claims that you can undergo the procedure under local anesthesia, lose the fats, tighten your skin and get back to your routine the same day. If this was as easy as they claim it to be, everyone would have tried it.

While laser liposuction is indeed a revolutionary advancement in the field of plastic surgery and highly recommended above other procedures, the fact remains that it is still a form of surgery. And we all know that every surgical procedure has its fair share of potential risks and complications.

Most of the laser liposuction risks are those similar to the ones gained from the traditional lipo procedure. With the association of laser, the heat can cause some problems. For instance, if the laser is prolonged near the skin, thermal injury or skin burns may be acquired.

First off the several laser liposuction risks is the possibility of skin loss. It can occur when a surgeon focuses too long and too aggressively on a certain area for the overlying skin can be lost or damaged. To avoid this, one should have expertise and great precision. Skin burn is also possible, but is very sporadic if the attending surgeon is a good one.

Another risk, and very common, is infection. Infection can be caused by any form of invasive equipment. Since the laser is inserted beneath the skin, antibiotic coverage and operating room precautions are a must. Anesthetic risks can also occur during the course of laser liposuction. There are numerous deaths during or after suction body and liposculpture procedures that were instigated by lidocaine overdose. Lidocaine is the anesthetic that is used to relieve pain during the liposuction procedure.

Also, contour deformities belong to the number of laser liposuction risks. These deformities include lumps, bumps, depressions and wavy lines along the skin. With a traditional lipo procedure, these deformities happen 20% of the time. In laser lipo, though, it is less common. Loose skin is also a problem, especially for patients that have poor elasticity in the skin. The loose skin is natural for a standard liposuction operation. But in laser lipo, this is very uncommon since the procedure tightens the skin, unless you have a very inexperienced surgeon.

And last but not the least is the complication done by an inexperienced plastic surgeon. A professional is the only one credible enough to handle the equioments and procedures needed in surgery. If you want satisfactory results, then you should get a professional surgeon.

Majority of these laser liposuction risks are normal and natural. But if you choose a plastic surgeon who has not only the proper equipment but also the skills and level of experience, then these risks can be lessened or entirely removed. When you decide to get laser liposuction, you should research on your potential surgeon and check just how good he is before you decide to acquire his services.

Food and Drugs Administration, a government agency, has recently approved a new method of fat reduction in some parts of the body. This said method is known as the laser liposuction, which is far different from the traditional liposuction method.

Laser liposuction is a method that is less insidious as opposed to the traditional procedure. This method includes a 1mm cannula being inserted into a small incision in the area where fat is to be removed. The cannula’s laser tip, once in contact with the fats, will heat up the fats and eventually breaks them down. The melted fats are then purged out of the body straight away.

On the other hand, the fats that were left behind in the body will be washed out by the body’s lymphatic system. The laser used in the procedure has low intensity, but it can be raised or lowered, depending on the needed intensity. Laser liposuction requires only a practiced anesthetic and you may have the procedure.

There are lots of reasons why people shift to the laser liposuction procedure. First of all, this procedure causes less bruising compared to the standard procedure. Another reason is the cost of laser liposuction. But the cost of laser liposuction can change due to several factors such as the surgeon’s skill and level of experience in surgery, the location, type of laser and other equipments used during the procedure, amount of areas to undergo surgery and much more. But the general cost of laser liposuction is between the $1500 to $15000 range.

One thing that a patient should take precaution of is choosing the surgeon. Just because you can afford the surgeon does not mean that he is a good one. You should know his reputable track record and experience as a lipo surgeon. You may ask some comments from the surgeon’s previous clients. Judging is also made easier once you check out some before and after images. If you do this before you undergo laser lipo, you can remove the need for finding a second lipo surgeon to repair damages from your first surgery.

As mentioned earlier, the cost of laser liposuction may vary due to a lot of factors. A lot of liposuction surgeons charge higher fees for certain body parts. The larger and more difficult areas to operate on are normally more expensive. However, there are surgeons who charge flat rates for a particular body part.

For instance, the average cost of the upper abdomen part is at $4500 but it can be reduced to $3000 or increased to $10000. The lower abdomen part is cheaper, with an average rate of $3500, a lower fee of $2000 and a higher fee of $9000. The thighs and knees have average rates of $2500 and $4000 respectively. But the most expensive among the laser liposuction areas is the male breast, popularly known as “man boobs”. The average price of laser liposuction in this area is $5000, lower fee of $3500 and a higher fee of $10000.
