SmartLipo (Laser Liposuction)

What can SmartLipo do for you?

SmartLipo is an alternative to traditional liposuction that is less invasive, involves less recovery time, and can be more cost effective. It was the first FDA approved laser to be used for fat dissolution and removal with tumescent liposuction. Tumescent liposuction works by first injecting the area to be operated with a fluid that acts as an anesthetic and also decreases bleeding. Once this fluid has been dissolved in the fatty tissue, the fat can be removed using various procedures, one of which is SmartLipo.

SmartLipo uses laser technology to dissolve fat so that it can then be removed by suctioning. One benefit to this method is that it does not excessively heat up the tissue in the surrounding area, resulting in a safer procedure. SmartLipo also uses a wavelength that targets the red blood cells, which minimizes blood loss. Another benefit is that, in areas where there is only a small amount of fat to be dissolved, traditional liposuction may not even be needed as smaller amounts of fat can simply be reabsorbed by the body, which means minimal to no scarring from surgical procedures.

If you want smoother and tighter skin with minimal cost and recovery time, SmartLipo may be the right procedure for you.

What to discuss with your surgeon

When thinking about SmartLipo, it is important to have realistic expectations and to discuss any questions or anxieties with your doctor during the consultation. In addition, it is also important to discuss why you would like to have the surgery, your medical history, including any diseases such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, high blood pressure, cardiovascular, or any circulatory disorders. It is also important to discuss surgical history, usage of certain medications, supplements, vitamins, alcohol, tobacco, and drugs. These can all affect surgery, healing, and ultimately your cosmetic outcomes.
