Laser liposuction has earned accolades, or at least conveyed the impression, that it is simple business. You can undergo the procedure with local anesthesia, and then reap the benefits you hoped to reap with the procedure (lost fat, tighter and smoother skin, and others) and get back to your life, as you know it the same day.

No surgery comes risk free. In addition, while it sounds like a simple zap and done, laser liposuction-as numerous medical observers and practitioners like to remind us-is surgery. It has its own kind of risks as a member of the suction-oriented surgical family, but the laser itself adds a few more to the picture no matter how simple the operation seems.

\”Most people of course do perceive it to be the very easy,\” writes Florida therapist Caroline Bourke, \”and this kind of thinking has allowed some doctors to offer their (often untrained) services to people looking for a quick fix to their fat related problems. This in fact is one of the biggest laser liposuction risks that you must be aware about and then you need to ensure that you do not fall into such traps.\”

\”Lipo sculpture with or without the laser is a surgical procedure,\” writes Dr. Brooke Seckel, a Massachusetts plastic surgeon who specializes in facial aging correction, \”and as with heart surgery, brain surgery or any other type of surgery, if I am having surgery I am going to do my homework and find the best board certified surgeon I can find to perform my operation . . . If you are considering any type of plastic surgery do your homework. Read more about the procedure you are interested in. Study the bio and credentials of the board certified plastic surgeons in your area. Be an informed consumer.\”

Some of laser liposuction risks otherwise include loose skin, a problem usually believed to be uncommon with the procedure and believed the major impediment to surgical fat removal. However, the risk increases if an inexperienced or technically weak practitioner performs the procedure.

The fiber is placed just beneath the skin and that opens the prospect of infection, requiring sterile surgical conditions and antibiotic support. Bleeding is considered far less likely with laser than with standard liposuction procedures but the risk remains. Moreover, there remains a further risk involving the most common liposuction anesthetic, lidocaine, highlighting yet again the critical need for you to investigate and finally settle on only a well-trained, well-experienced surgeon for laser liposuction.
