What Is Laser-Assisted Liposuction and Fat Transfer?

As we age, certain areas of the face and body may lose firmness and volume. To address these concerns, José A. Ortiz, N.M.D. offers laser-assisted liposuction combined with fat transfer at Altogether You Med Spa in Phoenix, AZ. This minimally invasive procedure uses targeted laser energy to gently liquefy unwanted fat from areas like the hips, thighs, and abdomen. The harvested fat is then carefully purified and reinjected into areas such as the cheeks, buttocks, or breasts to restore fullness, contour, and natural-looking volume.

This body-sculpting and rejuvenation method allows patients to achieve enhanced curves and facial volume without the risks and recovery associated with traditional surgery.

Am I a Candidate for Laser-Assisted Liposuction?

Ideal candidates for this procedure are individuals close to their desired weight who struggle with localized fat that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise. Candidates should have good skin elasticity and overall health to achieve optimal results. Laser-assisted liposuction with fat transfer is perfect for those seeking a minimally invasive approach to body contouring. Realistic expectations and a commitment to a healthy lifestyle post-procedure are essential for maintaining results.

How Does Laser-Assisted Liposuction and Fat Transfer Work?

The procedure begins with a topical numbing serum applied to the treatment area to ensure comfort throughout. Once the area is prepped and cleaned, Dr. José A. Ortiz, N.M.D., uses a laser handpiece to gently melt stubborn fat. This liquefied fat is then carefully suctioned and reinjected into targeted areas such as the lips, cheeks, buttocks, or breasts to restore volume, enhance contours, and improve firmness.

What to Expect After Laser-Assisted Liposuction

Following your treatment at Altogether You Med Spa in Phoenix, AZ, mild swelling and bruising are common and typically resolve within a few days. Most patients can return to daily activities shortly after the procedure, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for 1–2 weeks to support proper healing. Discomfort is usually minimal and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Dr. Ortiz and his team provide detailed aftercare instructions to optimize results.

Initial improvements may be noticeable immediately, but the full benefits develop over several weeks as swelling subsides and your body adjusts. Regular follow-up visits help monitor healing, and maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise can further enhance and prolong your results.

Laser-Assisted Liposuction FAQs

How safe is laser-assisted liposuction?
Laser-assisted liposuction is very safe when performed by an experienced specialist like Dr. Ortiz. Most patients achieve excellent results with minimal side effects. A thorough consultation ensures that you are healthy and a good candidate for treatment.

Is laser-assisted liposuction permanent?
While the procedure permanently removes fat cells in the treated areas, it is not a substitute for weight loss. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, helps preserve your results. Additional sessions are available if desired.

How much fat can be removed?
Laser-assisted liposuction is designed to contour the body rather than serve as a major weight-loss method. Patients can expect a noticeable reduction in inches in treated areas, though the amount of fat removed varies individually. Your consultation will provide a personalized estimate.
