ProLipo for Body Contouring

ProLipo is the laser assisted lipolysis procedure developed by Sciton Inc of Palo Alto, CA. ProLipo may be used to improve the shape of the body as a stand-alone procedure or in conjunction with traditional liposuction. It is less invasive than traditional liposuction surgery as it only requires tumescent anesthesia and a small incision to insert the laser underneath the skin. This allows for a very short recovery period with patients generally back to normal activity within a day or two.

The ProLipo Treatment

During a treatment a diluted anesthetic is introduced into the treatment area and dulls any sensation. Once this has taken affect the ProLipo laser is introduced and begins to heat the fat cells. Once broken down, the fat is drained from the area through a cannula. After the area is fully treated the incision is closed. The procedure can generally take between 1 and 2 hours, depending on the size and number of areas treated. It can be longer, however.

Results

Results are usually seen right away. As the skin in the treatment area begins to develop collagen, a tightening and contraction of the area is also normal over several weeks. Final results are usually apparent after a month or so.

Cost of ProLipo

Your surgeon will sit down with you to discuss the price, expectations and other considerations during your consultation. It’s important to not ‘price-shop’ for cosmetic surgery. Price is not the only factor in choosing a surgeon. Experience is critical.

Did it really help?

After 2 c-sections, 6 years apart and the last being 7 months ago...I was so tired of the muffin top [more]

After 2 c-sections, 6 years apart and the last being 7 months ago...I was so tired of the muffin top coming out of the top of all of my pants. I knew I would never have a completely flat stomach again, but had hoped that I could at least look slim in clothes. I researched ProLipo and decided to do it b/c you didn't have to go under and the recovery time was minimal (as compared to lipo and or a tummy tuck) The procedure was fine, not much pain and when there was a pang or something hurt. I did not do well with the pain medication after the procedure. It made me sick and I threw up. I got another pain killer and this one made me itch and made things worse. When I quit taking the pain killers, and just took Xanax all was well. I noticed results immediately, even though there was a good amount of swelling and fluid. Drainage was an issue~just messy~wear black yoga pants or sweats to and from procedure b/c you will ruin them with fluid. I ended up sleeping on top of a plastic bag and saved my sheets. Drainage only lasted for about 12 hours after Prolipo. I bruise easily and did so with this procedure. Minor bruising around my flanks, belly button, c-section scar and upper ribs were purple the rest was yellowish. I am experiencing knotty parts under the skin now (8 days after) which is worrying me. I go back into the dr. in 3 days to receive laser follow up. I am hoping this breaks up this knotty tissue. My husband and mother can already tell a big difference in my stomach.
