Improve Body Contour with Hip Laser Liposuction

The hips are a common problem area where fat tends to accumulate easily. Fat accumulation in the hips occurs due to factors such as weight gain, hormonal changes, lack of exercise and aging. These fat rolls, (also called love handles) do not budge even with rigorous diets and exercise. Laser-assisted hip liposuction in Manhattan, NYC is an effective option to remove this excess fat and improve body contour.
Unlike conventional liposuction surgery, hip laser liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure performed using the advanced Smartlipo Triplex device. This FDA-approved Smartlipo workstation combines the power of three laser wavelengths - 1440, 1064 and 1320 nm - to liquefy the excess fat and remove it easily, effectively and safely. Its intelligent delivery systems, SmartSenseTM and ThermaGuideTM, monitor skin temperature and prevent overheating. The procedure comes with short downtime and recovery time, allowing patients to get back to their normal activities fast. Other benefits of this body sculpting treatment include:-
Minimal pain and discomfort
Short treatment time and quick recovery
Long lasting results
Needs only local anesthesia
Hardly any signs of surgical intervention
Ideal Candidates for Hip Liposuction
Though the procedure is minimally-invasive, you need to be carefully evaluated by a reliable plastic surgeon to determine your candidacy and whether it can help you achieve your overall aim of achieving proportionate, attractive hips. Hip laser liposuction is an ideal option for adults who meet the following criteria:

Are nonsmokers

Final results become visible 2-4 months and will continue to improve as the body heals. However, regular exercise and a healthy diet are important to maintain the outcomes. Following post-operative instructions carefully is crucial to speed up the recovery process. Here are post-operative instructions patients need to follow:
