Liposelection? - Cosmetic / Plastic Surgery Message Board

This is supposed to be an alternative to liposuction. (Less bruising, and faster healing time.) Has anyone done this? I can't afford liposuction, plus take that much time off from work. I'd really love to get something done about my legs.

thanks!

C'mon.....anyone? I'd love to have liposuction done to my legs, but I cannot afford to take much time off from work (to heal). I hear that liposelection has a shorter healing period, with "almost" the same results. I cannot find any reviews anywhere, and thought surely someone here would know something.

I know it's been a long time since you posted this question but for anyone else looking through for liposelection.... I've been reading up on it recently and the cost is about $1,000 more than lipo suction. The results (unlike lipo suction) come out smooth without lumps or bumps in the lipo'd areas. In lipo "suction", if you have a lot taken out then the results very often come out a lumpy. With liposelection, you can also, be more specific as to the amount or area you want removed. There is also, much less chance for nerve damage with this procedure. In lipo suction, often people end up with tingling numbness for months to even years because of the nerve damage.
Thinner people who have liposelection that only have a few inches of problem area to be removed here and there have a better results and more smoothed out cellulite. But I've seen before and after photos of patients of all sizes and I have to say, they all looked a million times better. Results were drastic and amazing. The only real problem I noticed with people who had a lot more fat to be removed was with the skin sagging a bit after it was done. If you have any elasticity (sp?) left in your skin, then the saggy skin shuld tighten up a bit more over time. A Plastic surgeon should be able to tell you how much elasticity (sp?) you have in your skin and what to expect. I have the poochy lower belly fat that I can not get rid of and it's driving me nuts so, I've thought about having this liposelection done. Anyone here have liposelection done? How were your results and feelings about the procedure?
Thanks!
