Laser Liposuction | Chances of Skin Irregularities

Skin irregularities are a risk when undergoing both laser liposuction and traditional liposuction. However, the chances of such a problem occurring are much higher in liposuction procedures because of the scale of the surgery. Laser liposuction works to remove smaller pockets of fat around a particular area, whereas liposuction removes fat cells in larger amounts. The best practice to avoid such a problem is by removing small amounts at a time. It is always a good idea to go slowly and go back for more, rather than to remove too much too fast and run the possibility of creating such a problem.

Liposuction and laser lipo both remove fat cells under the skin. Once these fat cells are removed they cannot be replaced. It is natural to have every fat cell throughout the body as that is the way our bodies were designed. When too much is removed from one particular area during surgery, the skin will look lumpy and uneven as a result. That is why it is important to go slow during liposuction and that is why laser liposuction runs a much smaller chance of such a problem.
