LASER LIPOSUCTION, WATER PRESSURE LIPOSUCTION, SMART LIPOSUCTION, ULTRASONIC WAVE ASSISTED LIPOSUCTION, ULTRASONIC SUCTION

Dr. Yoho recently attended and spoke at a national conference in San Diego devoted entirely to liposuction. His talk was liposuction techniques, complications, and patient management issues. A summary of this should be in this blog soon. The conference was devoted to new methods of liposuction and Dr. Yoho’s conclusion about Los Angeles liposuction was that the new liposuction techniques were very unlikely to offer anything other than an increased complication rate. We do offer Smart Liposuction but think it’s added value is minimal to nonexistant. Laser assisted liposuction of various types were discussed as well as ultrasonic liposuction and a new liposuction method called water pressure spray – assisted liposuction. When you add another energy to the procedure, in an attempt to produce an effect such as skin shrinkage, complication rates may be much higher. NONE of the presentations showed real scientific evidence of improved results. Such science could have been using half the body with the new technique(s) and the other half with traditional technique. Please note that ordinary liposuction causes great skin contraction and check Dr. Yoho’s photographs at DrYoho.com for evidence of this.
