What are laser- and ultrasound-assisted liposuction?

Laser- and ultrasound-assisted liposuction, like traditional liposuction, are not a weight control method or a fix for obesity. They are used to help contour your body in those areas that are not responsive to diet and exercise such as saddlebags or a paunchy stomach. Liposuction assisted with laser or ultrasound liquefies the fat before it is removed from the body.

Also like traditional liposuction, laser- or ultrasound-assisted liposuction is most often used to reduce fullness in your:

Abdomen
Ankles
Arms
Buttocks
Cheeks
Chin
Hips
Knees
Neck
Thighs
Upper arms
Waist
