As far as the degree of trauma is concerned, it does not seem to be a big difference on the surface, both of them are tiny stitches, and one stitch or adhesive tape can be used after surgery. The length of the recovery period depends on the location and the amount of liposuction and lipolysis, but the difference is not too big. The swelling during the recovery period of fiber optic lipolysis is less, so the recovery period seems shorter than that of liposuction surgery. In fact, the difference between the two mainly lies in two points First of all, the skin tightening effect is different. Fiber optic lipolysis has a strong skin tightening effect because fiber optic lipolysis can heat the parts near the superficial layer of the dermis, and the heat of the skin after being transformed by the laser energy can produce a smooth and tightening effect on the skin. Therefore, fiber optic lipolysis is more suitable for more demanding clients and is a more advanced cosmetic slimming method for fat removal. Liposuction has no skin tightening effect Liposuction has no skin tightening effect, but only improves the obese areas with a larger range and sucks out the fatty tissues accumulated locally to improve the obese body shape. Secondly, the treatment method is different Fiber optic lipolysis treatment method Fiber optic lipolysis is carried out after local anesthesia, and a fiber optic catheter of 1 to 2 mm in diameter is inserted into the fat layer, and the high energy emitted by the laser is used to irradiate the obese parts and dissolve the fat in the body and discharge it. There are two types of liposuction treatment: “dry” and “wet”. In “dry liposuction”, the catheter is inserted directly into the bottom layer of fat accumulation at the incision, and then the excess fat is extracted by using the principle of vacuum compression, while in “wet liposuction”, water and medicine are injected after anesthesia to make the fat cells in the liposuction area expand, and then negative pressure liposuction is performed. So which is better, fiber optic lipolysis or liposuction? Actually, the choice depends on the needs: if the face is to create a small face or to tighten the facial contour, then it is recommended to choose fiber optic lipolysis. Fiber optic lipolysis can get rid of the fat accumulated in the cheeks in a non-invasive way, and produce lifting and tightening effects in the deeper layers of the skin and subcutaneous tissues to tighten the face. There is also the removal of double chin; if there is a double chin that you want to remove, then it is recommended that you should choose fiber optic lipolysis, because fiber optic lipolysis can act directly on the fatty and sagging part of the double chin, using the thermal effect to bond the fat in the dermal layer of the skin, so that the sagging skin can be stabilized and play the role of tightening and reshaping a tight chin. Then the whole body fat reduction and body shaping, expecting to reduce the whole body obese parts, it is recommended to choose liposuction surgery first. This is because liposuction surgery can fundamentally maximize the number of fat cells. Subsequently, if there is a need for skin tightening, then it can be combined with fiber optic lipolysis to shape or sculpt the local area and tighten the skin of the whole body according to your situation. In short; it makes the most sense to decide the way to treat fat according to the needs. If you use fiber optic lipolysis in the area of excessive fat accumulation, it is a “cannon shot mosquito”, which is expensive and laborious, and the effect is not proportional to the payment; if it is only facial sculpture, you should use fiber optic lipolysis, which is delicate and tightening.
