Laser-assisted Liposuction. This 29-year old female patient underwent power-assisted liposuction with laser-assisted liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, back & mons pubis. Power-Assisted Liposuction combined with Laser-Assisted Liposuction (Laser-Assisted Lipoplasty (LAL) or SmartLipo) is an innovative procedure for both removing excess fat and firming loose skin. It is minimally invasive and uses a single laser fiber that is introduced through a small cannula that has been inserted into a small incision. Liposuction is a procedure used to improve the body’s contour by removing stubborn fat deposits that have failed to respond to diet and exercise. It may sound simple, but it actually requires considerable training and technical skill on the part of the surgeon, as well as an artistic sensibility. Its other name is “liposculpture” for a good reason. The techniques a skilled plastic surgeon uses to resculpt the body are like that of a sculpter creating a masterpiece.
