Avatar n tn Laser Assisted liposuction: Advance Laser Assisted Liposuction uses a powerful laser to melt the membranes of each fat cell, causing them to break down, so there will be fewer traumas, means faster recovery.
Avatar f tn Neither is liposuction surgery or laser liposuction. Women have died as a result of liposuction surgery which is major surgery. I wouldn't recommend liposuction sugery, laser or otherwise to any woman or man for that matter. Laser surgery is still surgery. Have you ever seen a video of a liposuction procedure. It's horrifying. The after effects can include infections, burst veins and other life threatening repercussions.
Avatar n tn My friend pointed me to this advertisement she saw on facebook for a home lipo laser machine called slimray because she found it funny and ridiculous but i am really curious about it cos i am quite desperate to get rid of the fatty tummy. it is putting me down and i cannot stand myself. i guess my question is whether anyone has tried lipolaser or even heard about it? will slimray beable to remove the fats from my stomach and arms?
224988 tn?1208104697 Smartlipo is almost always performed with liposuction. The laser only liquefies the fat which must then be resorbed by the body over a period of time or immediately be removed with liposuction.
Avatar n tn The first question I would ask is whether he/she is a board certified plastic surgeon or another kind of physiian who just happened to buy a Smartlipo laser. Liposuction is definitely skill and technique dependent and I personally find that treatment under general anesthesia with traditional liposuction (I use power assisted liposuction) gives consistently good result. Sometimes touchup procedures are appropriate.
20904314 tn?1607606988 Liposuction is a surgical procedure that uses a suction technique to remove fat from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms or neck. Liposuction also shapes (contours) these areas.
Avatar n tn The use of a Smartlipo laser assocaited with traditional liposuction in the presence of a major hernia, could potentially injury bowel (a major catastrophe). Smartlipo machines are sold to any physician who is willing to shell out the funds for this equipment irregardless of training or specialty. Since I do not know the qualifications of your doctor or the true nature of your hernia, I cannot comment about the appropriateness of your treatment.
Avatar m tn Hi, This could be keratosis pilaris, a very common condition in which there are numerous rough follicular spots, which may be skin coloured, red or brown on the outer aspect of the upper arms. It is most prevalent during the teenage years and persist into adult life. It has a tendency to be more severe during the winter months or other times of low humidity when skin dries out. This is genetic in origin and no cure is available.
Avatar n tn hello. Eight months ago I had breast reduction and abdominal liposuction surgery. After which my surgeon told me 2 liters of fat had been removed. I am 54 yo and weighed around 170 lb. I was told post op that my stomach was swollen. 6 months later I questioned the dr. about what bump in abdomen was. She told me I had a hernia. Now my stomach is protruding worse than it did pre- liposuction. Is it possible my liposuction caused this to appear? What do you recommend I do next? Both my family Dr.
Avatar n tn I had liposuction on my thighs two years ago which left my body deformed. I asked not to have anything removed from my buttocks, and on both sides fat was removed. I now have gauges on both sides, and when I squeeze my buttocks together it looks like I have holes on both sides. Can this be fixed? I also have ropples all over my inner and outer thighs, and bulges on my inner knees. I cannot wear a bathing suit any longer, and need to know if this can be fixed???
Avatar n tn If the problem persists, then you need to be seen by your gynecologist to be sure nothing else is going on. The liposuction per se did not cause the problem. Tanning should be avoided soon after surgery to reduce the likelihood of excess pigment developing beneath the skin.
982526 tn?1248898065 Although laser liposuction has been shown to have some skin contracture characteritics, you will be able to judge the final results of your procedure in several more months.
Avatar n tn I am having liposuction and possibly an excision of some tissue for pseudo gynecomastia. I was wondering what I can expect my results to be like, and especially if I can expect there to be any wrinkling/dimpling in my chest. If there will be, will it be permanent? Is liposuction generally unnoticeable after a few months? I am 16 years old and 145 lbs.
Avatar m tn Is it possible that I could have developed dermatographic urticaria and urtacaria pigmentosa after a cosmetic liposuction procedure? I was a healthy 42 year old woman before i had liposuction to my stamace and back thigh areas. 5 months after that procedure I have suffered with dermagrahic urticaria. Could the surgery have interfered with my connective tissues in some way and caused this disease?
Avatar n tn I was wondering if anyone could tell me what exactly this is. I have a bumpy and kind of dry skin rash on both my arms and i've already checked to see if it was ring worm but its not. It has spread a little but then it goes away, but not completely. I know its not eczema but it has really made me self-conscious. I don't know what this is and i really can't afford to go to a doctor. If anyone can help me in anyway i would really appreciate it. Thank you.
280369 tn?1316702041 Ive heard that laser hair removal really stings like someone flicking a rubber band! ouch!! Have you tried using talcum powder and a razor,it doesnt sting and prevents rash.
Avatar n tn For about 6 years I have had constant bumps on my arms and legs. Some are ingrown hairs, others are more like pimples or clogged pores. A few areas are worse than others, but all are fairly bad. I have tried exfoliating and moisturizing regularly (I use Aveeno typically), but nothing seems to work. I do have mildly dry skin, but as I said, I moisturize fairly regularly and strangely do not have any significant problems with acne on my face.
Avatar m tn Laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses laser energy to heat the skin's deeper layers. This heating effect is thought to stimulate collagen production and promote fat cell metabolism, which can help to reduce the appearance of cellulite. While laser therapy is often marketed as a cellulite treatment, its effectiveness for this purpose is not well-established.

Avatar f tn I also was badly burned on my arms from a laser. It left white dime size circles up and down my arms. i looked like I was attacked by an octopus! i was told not to go in the sun but after desperately trying everything else I decided to go to a tanning bed a see what would happen. It EVENED OUT!! Its been about 5 years now and you can still see some blotches on my one arm but its very faint. Forget all the expensive creams. TAN it!
Avatar m tn In the past I have had telangiectasias removed from face and all across my chest by having them idividually zapped with laser or cauterizing needle. Now, I have these red dots on thighs, arms and breasts, which looks like an unsightly rash! My question is : What TYPE of laser is most effective in removing these spots?! Is there anything new? Also, could vitamin K supplements help fade them? Thanks for answers.
Avatar n tn You need to seek a surgeon who is highly experienced with liposuction and does not rely only on Smartlipo for your procedure. Revision of liposuction with additional liposuction and possible fat grafting may be required to improve your appearance. Redo procedures can be successful in the right hands.
Avatar n tn I have what I describe two extra breast under my armpit, I alway cover up my arms so that no one see my extra breast. I was told by my then female doctor that I was fat!! and I need to lose some weight, really !! dowm to size 12 from a size 14 and guess what my breasts under my armpit are getting bigger rather than smaller. now I am getting a sharp burning pain under both armpits.
Avatar n tn I'm only 16 and have always had layers of skin around the front and since puberty more unnecessary skin has grown however it's now starting to go dark on the tips of the folds as if there is a lack of blood or something in the wrinkles, I'm worried to do anything sexual in case this is wrong.
Avatar f tn I would like to know how safe is liposuction? Do I need to worry about blood clots in my legs?(this was mentioned at the consult) and I have a 8 month old child that needs to be carried, will I able to do this post procedure, and will I be very sore? Also, is permanent numbness in the area unusual? Please let me know your thoughts and and professional opinion on the pros and cons of having this procedure done. Thank you. p.s how soon after can I resume running/weights etc?
Avatar n tn I am fair whitish, and I have dark skin discoloration under my arms and in the vaginal area. It looks so bad, i want normal skin on that area.
Avatar n tn Hi there, New to the boards! I have had Hashimoto's since 2006, and I'm sure other women will agree that having this disease sure does a number on the puffiness of the face and neck. I am on the evil and disgusting Synthroid+Liothyronine combo until I can get back on natural thyroid meds. I'm still searching for a new doctor to prescribe it to me.
