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 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.
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 If the hernia is significant, then it could be repaired at the time of liposuction. Major hernia repairs are usually performed by general surgeons. 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.
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 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 f tn I perform liposuction almost every day. Most surgeons never have serious complications following this procedure. If performed by an experienced board certified plastic surgeon it is highly unlikely that you will experience serious medical problems post-operatively.
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.
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.
903476 tn?1242237037 There are a few plastic surgeons who do perform large volume liposuction, but there are significant risks with this procedure and patients are required to be hospitalized following the surgery.
Avatar f tn 12 years ago I had Exploratory surgery on my abdomen. 2 children CSections ages now 8 and 5. No future children. I had a lower area ventral hernia repaired last July have still been in pain everyday since surgery. Last 4-6 months that pain has increased and moved to the upper region of the incision. New ultrasound more incisional hernias found. My question is what are my options?
Avatar m tn I have had a total of 8 stents put in my heart, 6 in the RCA and 2 in the Obtuse marginal. My last stent was in 2014. I have elected to have some minor cosmetic surgery (liposuction) around the waist to help assist me in m weight loss. I know I have to come off Plavix 10 days prior and about 5 days after. Really wondering what damage could be done in 15 days of coming off Plavix if any? All my stents were drug eluding stents.
Avatar n tn I fell in the hands of a cheater type surgeon, who only to remove the nasaloboial folds along my nose n lips conducted 4 facelift surgeries in less than 4 years, a liposuction of face, lured me to get an eyelid surgery, bla bla. He manipulated and exploited my sentiments, mislead me and grabbed handsome amounts out. He left me with humps and depressions all over my face as a result of all his stupid surgeries.
Avatar n tn But I really just want to lose the flab in my upper arms and stomach without losing my *** or breast. I know that liposuction and tummy tuck is an option for me but I cannot afford the cost and all the complications that come with it. 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.
Avatar n tn “I think most surgeons would recognize that femtosecond laser cataract surgery is brilliant—as long as they didn’t have to pay for it,” jokes Hyderabad, India, surgeon Kasu Prasad Reddy. Though Dr. Reddy uses the femtosecond in his practice, he acknowledges that his fellow surgeons have to think long and hard about investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in a device when they already get excellent results from conventional phacoemulsification.
Avatar m tn I'm more for the old fashioned way through diet and exercise. If you don't change that, all the gat removal procedures in the world don't work because your lifestyle will take over again. How much do you want to spend? It's also worth noting that the most info you will ever find on this procedure are from the 85,000 plastic surgery doctors that want to make money off of it. I'd research who is good to go in your area if you are considering it and set up a consultation.
Avatar f tn The surgeon I picked is a certified american board of plastic surgery, a member of the ASPS, and fellow of American College of surgeons. His office is small but seems to be pretty busy. How do I know it/he will do a good job..?? Anyone please help me w/any info at all.
Avatar n tn I have performed many gynecomastia resections over the years, usually using a combination of direct resection of the underlying breast tissue in combination with liposuction. I doubt that you will find any experienced plastic surgeons performing elective surgery for no fee. One option I often mention on this board is to explore nearby teaching hospitals with plastic surgery residency programs to see if reduced fees are available.
Avatar f tn Like, Lasik, with advances in laser technology we can add immensely accurate laser to procedural concepts that the surgeons of the 1960’s would be mesmerized with. That being said, there have been 450,000 ReLEx SMILE procedures performed world-wide to date for nearsightedness ( myopia ) with and without astigmatism. At present there are about 1,000 procedures being performed per day as of June 2016 and this is only increasing with time.
1394601 tn?1328032308 Sumanadevii, would you care to share what it is you are trying to get at? There are a lot of medical specialties that don't require a special board certification - one of the most dangerous ones is plastic surgery, where just about any MD can perform liposuction, breast surgery, and other body altering surgeries.
Avatar n tn Is laser DCR common? How about balloon DCR? I don't like the idea having an incision. How can I find a doctor does laser DCR? Thanks a lot This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/372207'>Post-DCR surgery complications</a>.
Avatar f tn Laser surgery always (or at least almost always) costs extra out of pocket. If nothing else there are usually (perhaps always) "click" fees surgeons need to pay to the vendor for each use of the laser which they are rationally going to pass on to the patient.
Avatar m tn However, the risks associated with premium IOLS (halos etc) will still be there. And more experienced cataract surgeons can probably do nearly as well as the laser at cutting out the cataract and making a space for the new IOL. But on average I think it's been shown the laser can do it more precisely.
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.
5576961 tn?1377881511 Hello tentbharat, You asked what the side effect of liposuction is ? Liposuction is major surgery and it is a very dangerous procedure. Many people have died as a result of complicaitons of liposuction surgery. I would not consider this type of surgery ever. It is a very dangerous and risky procedure as it can lead to death. Do yourself a favour. There are videos available showing how liposuction is performed. Look at one of these videos.
Avatar m tn Its important to get several eye surgeon consultations and you may see different options and opinions between them regarding laser-assisted, premium IOLs, etc. I got 3 consultations and the cost estimates between them was signficant. One place highly rated would have cost nearly double since they only have a premium package that costs almost $3000 that includes laser-assisted and any LASIK touchups after the cataract surgery.
