Liposuction, also known as fat suction, is one of the most popular aesthetic treatments for removing excess fatty tissue. It helps to shape problem areas and achieve the desired body image. But what happens to the skin after liposuction? In this article, you will learn all about liposuction, possible skin sagging and how the LipoLas laser can reduce small fat deposits and effectively tighten the skin.
What is liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical procedure in which excess fat is removed from certain areas of the body. Common areas for liposuction are the abdomen, hips, thighs, arms or chin. The aim is to create a harmonious silhouette, which often cannot be achieved through diet or exercise.
How does liposuction work?
During liposuction, fatty tissue is suctioned out of the affected areas using fine cannulas. This is done either under local anesthesia or general anesthesia, depending on the size of the area to be treated. The results are usually long-term as long as the body weight remains stable.
Who is liposuction suitable for?
Liposuction is ideal for people who:
- Be in good health and have a normal body weight
- Have stubborn fat deposits that do not disappear despite diet and exercise
- Do not have any major skin sagging, as liposuction primarily removes fat
Why does skin sagging occur after liposuction?
After liposuction, the skin needs time to adapt to the new, slimmer silhouette. Although younger skin is often elastic enough to tighten itself, older patients or those who have undergone major procedures may experience excess skin. This skin laxity can often only become visible years later, as it takes a while for the swelling to completely subside after liposuction.
How can excess skin be treated after liposuction?
Fortunately, there are now effective methods for tightening excess skin and optimizing the final result of liposuction. One of the most modern and gentle solutions is the LipoLas laser.
Skin tightening and fat depot reduction with the LipoLas laser
The LipoLas laser is an innovative procedure that is ideal for the treatment of small fat deposits and skin tightening. It is used both as a supplement to liposuction and as a stand-alone therapy for minor corrections.
How does the LipoLas laser work?
The LipoLas laser works with precise laser energy that dissolves the fatty tissue and at the same time stimulates collagen formation in the skin. This leads to a natural tightening of the tissue without the need for invasive surgery.
The advantages of the LipoLas laser
- Gentle and minimally invasive: the treatment is virtually painless and does not require long downtimes.
- Double effect: reduction of small fat deposits and simultaneous tightening of the skin.
- Long-term results: The stimulated collagen production keeps the skin firmer for longer.
- Ideal after liposuction: The LipoLas laser helps to treat excess skin that forms after liposuction.
When is the LipoLas laser useful?
The LipoLas laser is ideal for:
- Small fat deposits that need to be removed without surgery
- Patients who have had liposuction and want to tighten excess skin
- People looking for a gentle, non-surgical method of body contouring
What does the treatment procedure with the LipoLas laser look like?
1. consulting and planning
Before treatment, a consultation is held to check whether the LipoLas laser is suitable for you. The desired results and possible alternatives will be discussed.
2. the treatment
The LipoLas laser is used on an outpatient basis. The laser energy is targeted at the affected areas to reduce fat and tighten the skin. The treatment usually only takes 30-60 minutes.
3. after the treatment
After using the LipoLas laser, you can return to your everyday life immediately. No incisions or prolonged healing phases are necessary. The first results are often visible after a few weeks, with the full effect becoming apparent after a few months.
Conclusion: Perfect complement to liposuction with the LipoLas laser
Liposuction is a proven method for removing stubborn fat deposits and improving the body contour. However, tightening the skin is often also crucial for a perfect result. The LipoLas laser offers a gentle way to treat excess skin after liposuction or to reduce smaller fat deposits without surgery. With its dual effect of fat reduction and skin tightening, it is the ideal complement to classic liposuction.
