Dr. David Janssen and Dr. William Doubek offer laser-assisted liposuction to Wisconsin patients from Green Bay, Sheboygan, Fond du Lac, Neenah and beyond. This procedure removes localized pockets of fat on the body that simply will not go away otherwise, even with focused diet and exercise. Laser-assisted liposuction, similarly to traditional liposuction, is not a weight control method or a fix for obesity.

Dr. David Janssen and Dr. William Doubek are experts in laser-assisted liposuction and the Wisconsin plastic surgeons help women and men from places such as Green Bay, Appleton, Fond du Lac, Sheboygan and beyond perfect their personal Renaissance. To find out about your body contouring options, request your consultation in either the Oshkosh or Appleton office or contact us at (920) 233-1540. There is a $100 consultation fee.

Pricing

Typically, laser assisted liposuction costs $1000 when done concurrently with surgery as an add-on. The price includes the surgeon’s fee, the facility fee at the Theda Care Surgery Center, and anesthesia. The pricing is subject to change, and will change if the surgery is done at another facility, and if there are unique circumstances surrounding the surgery, etc.

Fox Valley Plastic Surgery highly recommends the use of Strataderm® immediately after wound closure and for several weeks afterwards for optimal healing. Stratamed is the first film-forming silicone gel-based wound dressing approved for the use on open wounds and compromised skin. For example, depending on the length of the incision, a tube of Strataderm® will cost $32-$54.

Additionally, there are multiple procedure discounts for cosmetic procedures: 15% off the surgeon’s fee for the 2nd cosmetic procedure, and 30% off the surgeon’s fee for the 3rd procedure. The operating room fee is discounted 50% for the 2nd+ procedure, while anesthesia is based solely on time. Although there are zero interest financing options available through Care Credit and Alphaeon Credit, payment by cash gives an additional 5% discount. (Additional varied discounts may be offered that are not mentioned here).

Common Treatment Areas

Our surgeons use laser-assisted liposuction to contour problem areas, including the lower back, abdomen and waist, hips, buttocks and the inner and outer thighs. It is especially useful for the neck and inner arms.

Potential Risk

The most common potential complications of laser liposuction include:

• Bruising
• Infection
• Minimal bleeding
• Numbness
• Skin burns
• Swelling

Procedure

Traditional liposuction will start with the administration of some form of anesthesia, including local anesthesia, intravenous sedation, or general anesthesia, accompanied with the infusion of a saline solution into the area of the body where liposuction will be performed. Pain and bleeding will be minimized by a medication in the saline solution.

Our surgeons use a thin laser fiber and insert it through a small incision to deliver low-energy waves to focused areas. Next, after the fat is melted, a small cannula sucks out the liquefied fat.

Why Choose Laser Assisted Liposuction?

Our plastic surgeons use the laser-assisted technique to break up fat while leaving surrounding tissues (such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue) intact. Therefore, treatment results in smooth contouring and low incidence of complications. Moreover, the incisions made by Dr. Janssen and Dr. Doubek are very small and usually located in skin folds or contour lines.  Tumescent fluid infuses the area for pain reduction and easier fat removal.

Other options for slimming body contours include traditional liposuction, a mini tummy tuck, or full tummy tuck. For this reason, discuss your body slimming options with the experienced surgeons of Fox Valley Plastic Surgery. Contact Fox Valley Plastic Surgery today at (920) 233-1540 to schedule a consultation.

Recovery

Following laser assisted liposuction, patients will be sore and swollen for a few days. In addition, patients will need to wear a compression garment to speed healing. Everyone recovers differently, but most people are able to return to work in 2-3 days. There will be bruising and swelling in the first month. During the recovery period, the skin may begin to tighten as the new layers of skin form. This firming may continue for up to six months after the procedure. Furthermore, laser assisted liposuction removes fat cells. Therefore, the fat cells are not recreated. If there is weight gain, it is likely that fatty deposits will not expand to the areas where the procedure was performed.
