Question:
I’ve been thinking about different ways to get the fat off my hips. I’m currently thinking about getting laser lipolysis because of the minimal downtime. My only concern is how many treatments I’ll need for results. Does laser lipolysis compare favorably to traditional liposuction in cost and effectiveness?
Answer:
Laser lipolysis of the hips is a very effective procedure to remove fat of the hips that has not responded to diet and normal exercise. The laser lipolysis procedure is equally as effective as traditional liposuction surgery but adds the additional benefit of skin tightening with a significant decrease in recovery. The procedure is usually performed in one sitting and, although costs may vary between surgeons, the cost of laser lipolysis is about the same as traditional liposuction.
