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.
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.
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 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 m tn 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. Cellulite reduction procedures: There are several minimally invasive procedures that are designed specifically to reduce the appearance of cellulite.
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 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 f tn This technique is not approved by the FDA and is currently under clinical trials for safety and effectiveness. There have been successful result to limited areas, but complications of persistent pain and lumpiness are not uncommon.
Avatar n tn I had Smart Lipo on my inner and outer thighs last week. I have a Mirena IUD and haven't had a period in months. Since I had this procedure I've been bleeding. Could the laser have something to do with this? When my Dr was doing my inner thighs, he got really close to my pubic bone and it did hurt when he pushed toward the bone. If this is a reason for my sudden bleeding I need to know for how long should this continue. Would this be like a regular period now?

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 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 n tn Fractional laser resurfacing helps.About other treatments, best let nature heal.
996946 tn?1503249112 You may also want to find a veterinarian with a therapy laser or cold laser to help pain and swelling at the LS area. This can be used along or combined with the options Dr. Cheng mentioned.
Avatar n tn Hello. I am a 47-year-old male, and I have autoimmune hypothyroidism. I recently read that something called "low-level laser therapy" or "cold-laser therapy" can be used on a thyroid gland that has been damaged by Hashimoto's. Supposedly, the laser therapy will regenerate the thyroid gland, restore the ability of the thyroid gland to make thyroid hormone, and significantly reduce (or even eliminate entirely) a person's need for Synthroid.
Avatar f tn I am 25 and have 2 kids. I have severe stretch marks on my stomach, arms and sides. I have smaller stretch marks on thighs. Retin A isn't covered by my insurance. Is there another remedy that I could use to help. Only a few have a little bit of red color to them and all are over 3 years old. I can't afford to have laser surgery either. I want something to help so i can feel comfortable in my own skin again. What can I do?
1754670 tn?1312378295 Creams containing alpha hydroxyl acids and retin-A are said to be useful in decreasing the stretch marks but the advertised antimarks creams have no proof of effectiveness. Eat healthy ,nutritious food ,drink plenty of fluids and do moderate exercises. Laser therapy and dermabrasion, alone or in combination have also been shown to be effective in diminishing the appearance of stretch marks. For that you need to consult a dermatologist.

Avatar m tn what is effectivity of high power laser therapy in radiculopathy and neuro musculoskeletal pain
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 doubt these are due to herpes from the sounds of things. if you get fresh lesions, be seen within 48 hours of their appearance for a lesion culture and typing for herpes to find out if they are or not. I wouldn't invest in the laser therapy - not a lot of info out there on its effectiveness in general and to pay per lesion, not worth it.
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 Similar to Hollywood starlets, most women in the adult industry undergo cosmetic surgery. They get nose jobs, breast implants, liposuction, and [their genital] extended inner lips are removed to achieve 'the clamshell look,' reminiscent of a pre-pubescent girl. Even the anus is bleached and dyed pink. Insecure and uniformed young women wanted a similar look so a booming new industry was born; laser vaginal plastic surgery.
Avatar f tn I personally plan to see Dr. Johnson. He does this exclusivley and has a custom-made laser with optics designed to improve the laser reaching it's target when it is not in optimum position to be visualized.
