When fat removal is included, that stage is also part of the procedure. Ask which specific technique, anesthesia and care are included in your proposal.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>Can it be performed in an office setting?<\/summary><p>This depends on the treatment, whether it includes incisions and fat removal, the type of anesthesia and personal risks. An external treatment is not equivalent to surgery. The facility must have the conditions and authorized services required for the proposed care.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>How many liters or kilos can I lose?<\/summary><p>There is no universal figure. The volume exposed to the laser, the material removed and subsequent weight change are different measurements. The team should explain your plan\u2019s goals, limitations and possible stages without presenting them as a guarantee.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>Will I have loose skin or scars?<\/summary><p>Skin adaptation varies, and loose skin may remain in some cases. Incisions can leave marks. Your assessment should consider whether this technique can meet your expectations or whether other options should be considered.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>Is the surgery free of bleeding and pain?<\/summary><p>An absence of bleeding or pain cannot be guaranteed. Measures are planned to control and monitor them. Risks such as infection, seroma, contour irregularities, anesthetic complications and thromboembolic complications must also be explained.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>When can I return to yoga or Pilates?<\/summary><p>When your team authorizes it. Tissue recovery, the movements involved in each activity and abdominal effort matter more than a single timeline for everyone.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>How much does Laser Megalipolysis cost?<\/summary><p>The quote depends on the areas, clinical needs and services defined for each patient.
