Laser vs ual: In laser lipo, direct laser (hot energy) melts and burns tissues. In ual, the ultrasound energy creates cavitation ( disruption) in the fat both procedures should probably be used in the more difficult area of liposuction. Pure laser lipo has a higher rate of complications and patient dissatisfaction. Good luck from nyc. For more info visit www.Drgrossman.Com.

Lipo: Almost the same. Laser lipo is using laser to break down the fat the liposuction. Ultrasonic laser lipo is the same except they use an ultrasonic liposuction machine.

No : Fertility has nothing to do with liposuction. Laser will make fat cell burst and the fat will be sucked out. Ultrasounds to the same thing and fat turned into oil will be sucked out. Both techniques have effect on the fat under the skin.

Fertility unaffected: Neither of the procedures should have any affect on the fertility. However, it is my personal belief that the more traditional forms of liposuction are safer and just as effective and with fewer complications as compared to laser and ultrasound liposuction. As as substitute to liposuction you can also have i-lipo. Good luck from nyc.
