One of the interesting things that I've noticed, and I perform all the time in my practice, is most people just sort of think of liposuction for the body, for the breast, for the arms, for the hips, the thighs, and also underneath our chin.
One of the great places to do laser liposuction is around the jaw line and even on the face. I'm doing areas on the face around the jowl areas here, on the neck, right along the jaw line here, sometimes even up along these creases here around our nose and around our cheeks. The fiber is so small, that one millimeter fiber, that I'm able to get into those areas and the heat from the laser-- it's not really that we want to emulsify the fat in these areas. We're really going for skin shrinkage.
Around the jaw line, it's great because if you emulsify the fat just underneath the skin, you could really see that jaw line, that crisp jaw line come out, and it really works well for underneath this area called the submental area. It really helps contract the skin and gives results that are amazing. People love them.
But also where I found that it works really nicely is in the jowl area, which are these sort of saddles that sort of hang down as we get older right here. We're able to emulsify the fat, because the jowl is actually a fat pocket. So, we're able to help liquify the fat that's there, but also, the heat generated by the laser helps shrink the skin there, and we're able to accurately help shrink those pockets of fat without having to do a facial surgical procedure, and people love that.
This is a great medium for people that are looking to have something done, don't really have the money to spend for a facial cosmetic surgery for the Smart Lift or the face lift, but they want something done to help improve, but they don't want something more drastic. And this is a great opportunity because it's such a small one-millimeter canula. It doesn't hardly do anything. There's hardly no bruising. There's very, very little if any, down time, and the skin gets to tighten over the next six months.
Can laser liposuction be used as an alternative to blepharoplasty?

No, but we can use a different type of laser for the skin shrinkage on the lower eyelids.
