Smart Liposuction

What is SmartLipo?

 SmartLipo is a fat removal procedure. SmartLipo is a laser liposuction treatment that uses advanced technology over more traditional liposuction techniques. 

FDA approved as one of the first laser-based lipo treatments, SmartLipo involves the insertion of a tiny cannula (tube) beneath the skin, above targeted fat deposits. 

Attached to the cannula is a laser fiber, which effectively heats and breaks down fat cells, while also shrinking collagen levels.  This is where laser liposuction gets its name.

The liquefied fat created by the laser is easily drained away, and because SmartLipo is minimally invasive, there is much less bleeding and bruising with SmartLipo than with traditional Liposuction. 

SmartLipo can also be performed without a general anesthesia, reducing the risk of side effects considerably. SmartLipo and other laser liposuction treatments works best for relatively healthy people who wish to eliminate small, unwanted fat deposits from their thighs, hips, upper arms, and buttocks.

What are the Side Effects of SmartLipo?

Because it’s minimally invasive, there are very few potential side effects with SmartLipo, particularly for patients who don’t require general anesthesia. Swelling, redness, and pain may persist for 1-2 days afterward after SmartLipo, but quickly subside. 

How Long do SmartLipo results last?

SmartLipo results can last indefinitely, depending on your lifestyle choices. Fat may return to other areas of the body if the patient fails to exercise or eat well over time. 
 

What is the recovery time for SmartLipo?

Many SmartLipo patients return to work and their daily activities within 24 hours of their treatment.  This is makes laser lipo treatments much easier than traditional cosmetic procedures like tumescent liposuction. 

 Is there much discomfort for SmartLipo?

There can be minor discomfort, but anesthesia and pain medication tend to dull the effects sufficiently. 

What types of anesthesia is necessary for SmartLipo?

A local anesthetic is usually all that’s needed for SmartLipo™, due to its minimally invasive nature.
