Fifty-one patients underwent a study approved by the Food and Drug Administration for laser-assisted liposuction in five plastic surgery centers. The YAG laser fiber is contained within the cannula, shears off the fat cleanly, and coagulates blood vessels as the fat is drawn into the cannula. Hemoglobin decrease was relatively modest after surgery, and patients were able to return to work at 6 days and light exercise at 7 days. Contralateral studies showed a slight benefit for the laser side at both 1 and 8 weeks for ecchymosis, pain and discomfort, and edema. Lipocrit studies were inconsistent. The investigators concluded that no clear benefit was demonstrated with the laser. The Food and Drug Administration did not approve the technique, and the sponsoring laser company has not pursued the study.
51名患者在5家整形手术中心接受了一项经美国食品药品监督管理局批准的激光辅助抽脂研究。钇铝石榴石激光光纤置于套管内，在脂肪被吸入套管时能干净地切断脂肪，并使血管凝固。术后血红蛋白下降相对较小，患者术后6天能够恢复工作，7天能够进行轻度运动。对侧研究表明，在术后1周和8周时，激光治疗侧在瘀斑、疼痛和不适以及水肿方面有轻微益处。脂肪比容研究结果不一致。研究人员得出结论，激光治疗未显示出明显益处。美国食品药品监督管理局未批准该技术，赞助该研究的激光公司也未继续进行此项研究。
