Laser Liposuction

Liposuction, in all its forms, is an extraordinary tool, allowing a skilled surgeon to literally sculpt the body. Liposuction is indicated when a patient of normal weight has disproportionate fat distribution—a localized accumulation of fat cells—in specific areas of the body. Because the number of fat cells remain fixed after adolescence, an individual who has undergone liposuction can expect permanent results provided weight is maintained at a consistent level.
In recent years a number of medical and technological advances have been made, enabling surgeons to pioneer new liposuction procedures that are more precise and less invasive. New procedures, using lasers and ultrasonic technology have reduced the side effects resulting in little or no bruising, less swelling, little or no post-operative discomfort, and rapid recovery.  A number of liposuction alternatives have emerged over the past couple of years, leaving traditional liposuction techniques slowly moving into the background.

Under ordinary circumstances, local anesthesia and a sedative are the only medications a patient will require for the duration of the procedure. With minimal incision, the laser’s low-level energy wavelengths weaken the membranes of the cells. The fat contained in the cell literally oozes out of the cell’s perimeter. Then, through tiny incisions, the fat is sucked up through a very small surgical tool, called a cannula. If desired, the extracted fat can then be used to fill out another area of the patient’s body.
Dr. Boss uses low-level energy laser, which is FDA-approved for pain management, and set to the frequency for optimal relief of pain. The laser is then set on an anti-inflammatory, anti-swelling mode for the final laser treatment. This dramatically reduces postoperative discomfort. The most patient returns the next day for a second pain management session. As a result, many patients need no postoperative pain medication at all.
Because low-level laser-assisted liposuction is less an invasive procedure, bruising and swelling are very minimal. Most patients can return to their normal activities quickly.
The results are dramatic and persistant. Dr. Boss’s low-level laser-assisted liposuction technique is simply the best technology available for maximum patient comfort and healing, combined with exceptionally beautiful results.
