Laser Liposuction Melbourne

Laser liposuction uses laser technology to target fatty deposits in specific areas of the body.

Losing weight through natural methods and regular exercise offers more health benefits compared to liposuction. We strongly encourage patients to pursue their goals using natural and healthy approaches before contemplating liposuction. It is important to note that liposuction is not a method for weight loss.

For patients with pockets of fat in certain body areas that are resistant to diet and exercise, and those who prefer to avoid major surgery, laser liposuction might be a suitable option. Before deciding on cosmetic surgery, it is important to have realistic expectations about the outcome. Talk to your cosmetic doctor about what to expect from the surgery and make sure you understand the recovery time and results.

What is laser liposuction?

This procedure uses laser technology to target fatty deposits in the patient’s body. The laser has two selective wavelengths: one targets the fat to allow removal or reabsorption into the body. The other laser wavelength heats the tissues under the skin, stimulating collagen production.

Treatment areas

Laser liposuction enables the removal of fat in the following areas:

  • Buttocks
  • Thighs
  • Calves
  • Flanks
  • Torso
  • Abdomen
  • Upper back
  • Lower back

It can also be used to target smaller, more delicate areas, including:

  • Neck
  • Chin
  • Arms
  • Lower legs
  • Knees
  • Thighs
  • Feet
  • Chest (male breast reduction)

How does the procedure work?

Before the procedure, comfort options may be provided. A specialised device is then used to deliver controlled energy to the treatment area. This energy targets the fat cells, breaking them down so they can be removed during the procedure.

FINANCE INFORMATION

Costs & Medicare eligibility

The cost of laser liposuction depends on the areas being treated and the extent of the procedure. To receive a personalised quote, an initial consultation with Dr Mark Attalla is essential.

Who are the suitable candidates for laser liposuction?

Laser liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that may help remove excess fat and address certain areas of the body that have not responded well to traditional methods of weight loss. Suitable candidates include:

  • Patients who have localised areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.
  • Patients who are looking to specifically target and reduce fat in particular areas, such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, and flanks.
  • Patients who have recently lost a significant amount of weight but still have excess fat in certain body areas.
  • Patients who are at or near their ideal body weight and maintain a stable weight.
  • Patients who are in good overall health, with no underlying medical conditions that could complicate the procedure or recovery.

Before undergoing laser liposuction, it is essential for patients to have a thorough consultation with Dr Mark Attalla to discuss their goals, medical history, and the specifics of the procedure. This ensures that they are suitable candidates and that their expectations are aligned with the possible outcomes.

Recovery information

Recovery after laser liposuction

The swelling and bruising patients experience will depend on various factors. The treatment area, amount of fat removed, genetic tendencies, and skin and natural healing abilities will all influence recovery time.

Some patients experience swelling for only one to two weeks, while others may need to wait up to three months for the swelling to subside. The final results will be noticeable when the swelling has completely disappeared.

Individual results depend on your unique physiology, so laser liposuction may not be suitable for everyone. We assess your body type during your initial appointment and determine your suitability for laser liposuction.

Potential risks & complications

Laser liposuction carries inherent risks and potential complications:

  • Bruising and swelling
  • Infection at the incision sites
  • Thermal burns from the laser
  • Irregular contours from uneven fat removal
  • Numbness in the treated areas
  • Scarring
  • Fluid accumulation, such as seromas or haematomas
  • Skin laxity, if the skin does not adequately contract after fat removal
  • Pain and discomfort in the treated areas
  • Allergic reactions to medications
  • Blood clots
