Liposuction

Laser liposuction is done under local anesthesia in the office as an outpatient.

It is important to know that liposuction when done with the laser will remove fat and fat cells. We monitor temperature and when the fat cells reach a critical temperature they are destroyed by cooking them while inside your body. This is thought to greatly reduce the chances of your fat cells coming back when compared to more selective fat removal techniques such as using ultrasound or a water stream to break up the fat cells.

Lower Stomach

Demonstrating improvement in muscular definition for a female patient's abdomen that is possible with laser liposuction.

The asymmetric bulges and the shadows they cause have been addressed with the lower tummy liposuction.

The shadows present before the procedure detract from the appearance however after laser liposuction the shadows that remain seem to enhance the muscular definition.
