Boston Tummy Tuck–Laser Tummy Tuck in Boston
New laser liposuction technology called SlimLipo can remove belly fat and tighten skin and make the traditional surgical tummy tuck operation unnecessary for many people. SlimLipo is a unique new skin tightening and fat dissolving laser which can contour the abdomen and tighten the tummy without abdominoplasty surgery or traditional traumatic liposuction. The results can be incredible, see before and after pictures of laser tummy tuck below:
Before and after pictures of laser tummy tuck alone, no abdominoplasty was done.
The Slimlipo laser tummy tummy procedure can also be used to sculpture the abdomen and help define an abdominal six pack and countour the upper abdomen and tighten skin around the belly button during a mini tummy tuck. See before and after pictures of mini tummy tuck and S;limLipo laser contouring to tighten upper abdominal skin below:

How Does the Laser Tummy Tuck Work?
The new SlimLipo laser system uses a 924nm and combination 925/975nm laser wavelengths passed through a small fiber into the fat beneath the tummy skin. The 924nm laser is selectively absorbed by the fat and actually melts the fat. The 924/975nm combination tightens the tissue beneath the skin and pulls the skin tighter against the underlying muscles.
This is new technology-previous laser liposuction machines used a 1064nm or 1308nm laser wavelength. The 924nm is absorbed by fat 5 times more than the 1064nm and 3 times more than the 1308.
The result, in my experience, is more effective fat removal and skin tightening.
What Are the Advantages of the Laser Tummy Tuck Over a Surgical Tummy Tuck?
The most important of course is that the laser tummy tuck does not require large incisions and a surgical procedure on the abdomen. The laser liposuction fiber is placed under the skin through a tiny hole made in a hidden location in the skin. The major benefits are:
• No Long Surgical Scars
• Quicker Recovery
• Many Can Be Done Under Local Anesthesia
• Loose Skin and Fat Above the Belly Button Can Be Corrected Without Major Surgery
What are the Advantages of Laser Tummy Tuck Over Plain Liposuction of the Abdomen?
Traditional liposuction is used to remove fat from the abdomen and is very effective at fat removal. However, in my experience, there are several problems associated with liposuction done without the laser, mainly loose skin and contour irregularities and dimpling of the skin.
In my experience so far I have been very impressed with the skin tightening after the laser liposuction tummy tuck procedure. I have also been able to use the technique on thinner patients and have not seen the skin irregularities and contour deformities I have seen with liposuction without the laser. The benefits of the laser liposuction method in my practice are:
• Tighter Skin
• Smoother Skin- Fewer, if any, Irregularities
• Less Tissue Trauma-Gentler Procedure
