Now liposuction is not designed to affect the stretch marks. The stretch marks is damage to the skin. Liposuction primarily is meant to reduce the volume. Now, with that said, when you are larger, what tends to happen, is the skin is stretched out further because of the fat in those stretch marks become much more obvious, both in the width and in the length. So with liposuction, what we’ve found for these very large individuals that have a substantial amount of stretch marks that are stretched out, it’s really significantly benefits these stretch marks to remove the volume of fat behind them.  So if we can remove the fat from the abdomen causing these stretch marks to be more obvious.  The removal of the fat will take the pressure off and will allow the skin to retract back and cause those stretch marks to get smaller.

 

Now, when you have stretch marks, there is inherent damage to the skin and it essentially breaks the bonds and breaks and damages the skin causing the appearance of the stretch marks.  And typically, the skin is much looser and thinner in these areas because of the damage of the skin.  Now, in cases like this, we do recommend the use of the smartlipo laser. And the laser is used primarily for the skin tightening, and if we can get more tightening in the skin, it will reduce the amount of stretch marks even further.  This smartlipo laser will in addition help loosen any collagen growth, and the collagen growth will improve in that area for six months following the procedure.

 

So, again, to recap, the removal of the significant volume of fat will help reduce the pressure on the stretch marks and therefore making the stretch marks smaller.  So you are looking to reduce the stretch marks now.  They are not going to go away completely but they will be significantly smaller after liposuction.  Hope you guys enjoyed.

Trevor Schmidt PA-C, a frequent contributor to Liposculpture Talk from MyShape Lipo in Henderson, Nevada is here.  He’s going to discuss  the benefits of smartlipo laser skin tightening. So the people that would use the smartlipo laser for the skin tightening are those that are primarily concerned with the looseness of skin before liposuction. If you have looser skin before liposuction it’s likely that you’ll have looser skin after liposuction. Its just the nature of what we do. Now we will be removing volume and we do stimulate a healing response so to some degree you will get some tightening of the skin but the question is just how much. It’s not something that we can predict. Everybody’s has a different capacity for healing and skin tightening. So if you're concerned about looseness of the skin before the smartlipo laser is going to help you get the most skin tightening after liposuction. So how this works is we pass the laser under the skin and the heat from the laser causes a contraction. It also stimulates collagen growth for 6 months after the procedure so the studies show you’ll get increased growth in collagen for 6 months after which will give you continually thickening and tightening of the skin.

Now the collagen is what it going to give your skin the thicker texture and that tighter feel and the elasticity you had when you were younger. Now when you age, the collagen continues to diminish with time. Now, the laser for the skin tightening, there are many many benefits to this smart lipo laser. We discuss primarily the skin tightening benefits but the heat source also offers a few other things that are worth mentioning in that it coagulates blood vessels. What that means is that during the liposuction procedure it’s possible that we break blood vessels and they would bleed. So the heat would coagulate the blood vessels to make for less bleeding, less bruising, less swelling after the procedure. So it’s believed that the use of the laser will reduce the swelling, reduce the bruising, and make for a quicker recovery following liposuction. In addition to reducing bruising, the laser has been shown to help with cellulite. Now cellulite, as you may have heard from one of my previous videos, is a issue with connective tissue and it basically, the tissue is pulling down in one area more than another.

Now the laser can come through and basically break those fibers and allow the skin to pop back up and be smooth again. so if one of those issues is the loose skin and the cellulite then the laser is definitely warranted for your procedure. In addition to that it’s also been shown to, since we do tighten the skin, if you do have stretch marks, the laser will help to tighten the skin further and reduce the visibility of the stretch marks. Now, unfortunately the laser is not going to make the stretch marks go away completely but it will help to tighten the skin and reduce the visibility of those stretch marks. Another benefit that i would find with the laser is something that is not discussed much, but i use it for breaking up tough tissue and tough tissue you can get from previous liposuction. So if you’ve had liposuction in an area and you want it treated again the use of the laser can help break up that scar tissue to allow me to remove more fat and get you smoother more even results. Another area that you’d be concerned about with tougher tissue would be the male chest. In the male chest they tend to have this glandular tissue under the nipple that is very tough and rubbery in nature, so we can go in there with the laser and break that tissue up. It essentially perforates the tissue, causes holes, so then my blunt instruments can go through those holes and shred out more of that tissues and remove more of that glandular tissue and give you better results for that flatter chest that the guys are looking for.
