Laser Tight is a revolutionary technique for laser-assisted liposuction that utilizes a specialized laser to melt fat cells before suctioning them out, while also simultaneously tightening the skin. By melting the fat before suctioning, the procedure results in minimal swelling, bruising, and pain, and can be done under local anesthesia in our office. Most Laser Tight patients return to work the next day.
Many of our Washington, D.C. area patients choose to have Laser Tight liposuction performed at Bitar Cosmetic Surgery Institute in Fairfax, VA on various sensitive areas, including the chin, neck, armpits, upper arms, abdomen, hips, buttocks, and thighs. Its concentrated laser energy helps ensure unsurpassed liposuction precision, yielding beautiful, natural-looking results.

Laser tight liposuction utilizes a 980 nm diode laser to target hard-to-reach, stubborn fatty deposits or large, soft tissue areas. The laser, in combination with a set of cannulas and fibers, delivers laser energy to vaporize fatty deposits and tighten skin.
Unlike traditional liposuction, which uses cannulas to remove fat cells, Laser Tight liposuction breaks up persistent fatty deposits through vaporization to promote a gentler method of fat loss. In addition to removing fat, the procedure helps encourage tissue tightening, enabling patients to achieve a firm, lean physique.
Laser Tight utilizes a revolutionary laser designed to tighten the skin while suctioning out fat.
This procedure is ideal for patients who wish to have approximately 1-2 pounds of fat removed, have minimal loose skin, and are unable to afford extensive downtime. The procedure takes about 1-2 hours to perform under local anesthesia in our office.
LaserTight has several FDA clearances for uses in plastic surgery, dermatology, general surgery, and ophthalmology. It is currently the only laser cleared by the FDA for performing lower eyelid lifts (blepharoplasty).
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation at our Fairfax office, where Dr. Bitar will evaluate your problem areas, discuss your goals, and review any relevant medical history to ensure you’re a safe candidate for laser liposuction. This is the time to ask all your questions, understand the procedure in detail, and map out a personalized plan. We’ll also review any necessary preoperative instructions, such as discontinuing certain medications and preparing for a smooth recovery.
Laser Liposuction is ideal for individuals in the Washington D.C. area who are close to their goal weight but still dealing with small, stubborn areas of fat that haven’t budged with diet and exercise. If you have good skin elasticity, are in overall good health, and want a sleeker, more refined shape without the downtime of traditional liposuction, Laser Tight may be a great fit. Popular treatment areas include the neck, arms, abdomen, thighs, and flanks. During your consultation at the Bitar Cosmetic Surgery Institute, we’ll help determine if this treatment aligns with your goals.
When you arrive at our AAAASF-accredited surgical suite, you’ll be greeted by our friendly team, who prioritize your comfort and safety. The procedure usually can take about 1 to 2 hours and is performed under local anesthesia right in our office.
Dr. Bitar uses the advanced 980 nm diode laser to gently melt fat deposits, which are then suctioned out with minimal trauma. You’ll feel relaxed throughout, and thanks to the laser’s skin-tightening effect, you’ll notice smoother contours immediately.
Our office will provide a comprehensive post-surgery plan to ensure the best possible outcome. The plan will outline what to expect postoperatively, including estimated recovery time, pain management, garments or dressings, and anticipated activity level. For your safety, we require that an adult stay with you at least the first 24 hours after surgery and drive you to your next day follow-up visit. With most procedures, you will be instructed to limit activity for the first week or two, which could include restrictions on driving, prolonged travel, and flying. Additionally, we recommend that you refrain from exercise until cleared by your physician, typically around four weeks post-surgery. You are asked to refrain from smoking for a minimum of two weeks. To optimize healing, we recommend that you eat a high-protein diet. You should anticipate a variable degree of bruising and swelling, as with any surgical procedure; light make-up may be used to cover bruises starting a week after surgery. We also offer scar creams at an additional cost to optimize results.
To promote healing and minimize complications, you will be seen in a series of post-op appointments, including the day after surgery. These appointments will continue throughout the first year after the procedure to make sure you are healing as planned. For your added convenience, you also have direct access to Dr. Bitar’s cell phone number, should you need to reach him outside of office hours. The final post-operative visit, one year after surgery, is one of our favorites, as the results are fully apparent, and we love seeing our patients happy. You are always welcome to return and visit us, even years after your surgery.
