Video: The New Liposuction

The latest in liposuction is evaluated by Dr. Brightman in this clip.

First, laser liposuction should be considered only after exercising and dieting has failed and pockets of stubborn fat continue to cling to your body. You should be in good health and within 20 pounds of your ideal body weight. Your skin should be only mildly to moderately lax. Skin that is too loose (from extreme loss of weight, for example) cannot be tightened by laser liposuction. In those cases, often a tummy tuck or other procedure may be best.

Have Reasonable Expectations

You also need to have realistic expectations about what this procedure can do for your body’s contour. Remember, isolated pockets of unwanted fat can be removed, but you’re still going to have to maintain your results through healthy lifestyle.
