One of the latest advances in liposuction combines traditional liposuction with the use of a YAG laser. The main advantage is that a smaller liposuction cannula is used, there is potentially less bruising and bleeding, and their is possibly better skin tightening. Dr. Koehler and Cuzalina were recently interviewed on fox news regarding this new technology. They were the first doctors in Tulsa to use this technology. You can check out their interview by clicking on the fox news banner.
Currently, the laser is most effective in treating small deposits of fat. Traditional liposuction or ultrasonic liposuction using tumescent anesthesia is still frequently used, especially when large amounts of fat need to be removed.
