Laser Liposuction

It’s normal to have questions about whether any procedure is right for you. Typically, we’ve found that the clients who get the most out of laser liposuction in NYC are:

• Individuals seeking to address localized areas of excess fat that are resistant to diet and exercise
• Those with good skin elasticity, as the procedure can also provide skin-tightening benefits
• Patients desiring a minimally invasive approach to body contouring
• Individuals looking to achieve more sculpted and defined body contours
• Those in generally good health and with realistic expectations regarding the outcomes of the procedure
• Patients seeking a procedure with minimal scarring and a shorter recovery period

With the rise of weight loss medications like Ozempic, many individuals have successfully shed excess pounds. However, after significant weight loss, small, stubborn fat pockets can remain.

Laser liposuction is often the perfect solution for targeting these areas and helping you achieve your ideal post-Ozempic body. By precisely removing localized fat and tightening the skin, laser lipo can put the finishing touches on your new, slimmer physique.

Laser liposuction offers many advantages over other liposuction techniques and body contouring procedures, including:

• Minimally invasive
• Precise and targeted fat removal
• Faster recovery with less post-op bruising and swelling
• Tightens skin

Does not require general anesthesia

If you are considering laser liposuction in New York, we recommend beginning with a consultation. This is an excellent opportunity to experience the Scarpidis Aesthetics difference. Simply put, we pride ourselves on offering a higher standard of care. To this end, our consultations are not merely focused on one procedure but rather a comprehensive evaluation of you and your specific needs.

If there are complementary or even alternative procedures to consider as part of your laser liposuction journey, you can be sure such avenues will be addressed. During your consultation with our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Ulysses Scarpidis, you can be sure all your questions will be answered, and you will receive unparalleled care.

To begin your laser liposuction procedure, Dr. Scarpidis will inject a tumescent fluid containing a local anesthetic into the target areas. Since laser liposuction is minimally invasive, there is no need for general anesthesia. The tumescent solution will numb the area so you feel no pain during treatment. It will also make it easier to remove the unwanted fat.

Next, Dr. Scarpidis will make a tiny incision in your skin, so he can insert a thin cannula equipped with a laser fiber. Laser energy is then delivered to the fat cells, causing them to liquefy and making them easier to remove. Once the fat has been emulsified, gentle suction is used to remove the liquefied fat.

Laser Lipo Recovery

The minimally invasive nature of laser liposuction allows for a quicker and more comfortable recovery than traditional liposuction techniques. Once your procedure is complete, you’ll be sent home to begin the healing process.

In general, we recommend resting for at least one to two days before returning to work and your normal daily routine. Though some swelling is to be expected, it should subside within a week.

Laser Lipo Results

Initial improvements may be noticeable within two weeks. Final results can be anticipated within three to six months of your procedure once the area has fully healed.

Choosing Scarpidis Aesthetics means entrusting your body contouring goals to a practice that prioritizes excellence, innovation, and personalized care. Dr. Scarpidis is a leading expert in the field of liposuction and is proud to bring an unparalleled level of care and expertise to his clients.

How much does laser liposuction cost in NYC?

The cost of laser liposuction in NYC varies depending on the number of treatment areas and the extent of fat removal. During your consultation with Dr. Scarpidis, our team will provide a personalized price estimate based on your specific needs.

How long do SmartLipo results last?

The results of laser liposuction are long-lasting, provided you maintain a healthy lifestyle. While the removed fat cells do not regenerate, weight gain can cause remaining fat cells to expand. Staying active and following a balanced diet will help preserve your new contours.

Will I have scars after laser liposuction?

Laser liposuction requires only tiny incisions, which typically heal well and leave minimal, barely noticeable scars. Over time, any small marks will fade, becoming nearly invisible.

How soon can I exercise after the procedure?

Light activities can usually be resumed within a few days, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least two weeks. Dr. Scarpidis will provide personalized guidance for returning to high intensity physical activity based on your recovery progress.
