Laser Liposuction has a significant advantage when compared to the traditional surgery performed with a suction device; the recovery time.
While suction assisted liposuction bruises the body and makes recovery difficult, laser liposuction has the distinct advantage of leaving the bodily tissue largely unaffected. Laser liposuction recovery time is on the order of a few days compared to a week or longer with traditional liposuction as there is no general anesthesia involved. There is also no significantly visible sign of surgery, unlike the bruising of traditional surgery.
The Laser in laser liposuction is a low energy laser which causes the cell membranes to collapse, thus liquefying the fat beneath the skin. Small incisions are made and the fat is sucked out with a tube device. The body also absorbs a small portion of fat to be expelled in the normal fashion. Because the only incision is the small incisions to get at the fat, the recovery time is reduced.
Make sure you ready your household prior to your laser liposuction so that everything is ready to go when you get home. Make sure your couch or bed is set up comfortably for the first night. Also, make sure that your family and friends are aware of your procedure. This way they can give you much needed respite against loud noises or other household distractions. Make sure too that someone can drive you home from the facility as a sedative is used and operating a car is not advised.
The few days that you recover should be as comfortable as you can make them. As with any medical procedure this time should be discussed with your doctor and adjusted based on your health and the scope of the surgery. Also try to clear out your schedule as much as possible during those few days to give your body time to heal itself. Easy does it!
