SmartLipo is a new simple, minimally invasive alternative to traditional liposuction, designed to remove small amounts of fat from specifically target cosmetic areas of the body. Diet and exercise are often effective in firming and shaping your body only to a certain point. If you are slightly overweight, and looking to lose those last few pounds, the little bit of extra fat in one or more areas of the body, SmartLipo is the fast, effective procedure you’ve been waiting for.

An experienced SmartLipo plastic surgeon can answer any questions you have about this procedure.

SmartLipo Procedure

The SmartLipo procedure is designed to literally melt fat away. A laser fiber fitted into a small tube is inserted into the skin. The tube allows the laser to be moved from side to side, rupturing fat cells that are then removed from the body. At the same time, the laser causes the collagen to shrink, and blood vessels to coagulate immediately, resulting in less swelling, bruising, and bleeding, and nearly immediate results. The small size of the tube (1.0 – 2.0mm) and minimally invasive procedure, allows SmartLipo to have recovery times possible in the range of one to two days.

Ideal Candidates for SmartLipo

If you are a healthy individual, within 30 pounds of your ideal weight and unable to shed those last few pounds with diet and exercise alone, SmartLipo is ideal for you. If you find specific areas of your body unsightly and would like to remove the fat from those areas permanently, SmartLipo is ideal for you. The SmartLipo procedure actually stimulates collagen growth, eliminating the need for additional skin lifting surgery, making SmartLipo ideal for people who want one simple, cost effective surgery to remove unwanted fat from the body and to tighten loose skin at the same time

SmartLipo Advantages

SmartLipo offers several advantages over traditional liposuction including:

• SmartLipo is minimally invasive, using only small incisions and a laser fiber that actually works with your body to remove fat and heal quickly
• Recovery time ranges from one to two days; in some cases no recovery time may be required at all
• The small incision provides very little discomfort and may not require some forms of anesthesia
• Normal looking skin is obtained within three months of the procedure, with almost no indication that an incision was made
• The use of a small tube instead of a larger metal tube allows fat to be removed with precision, minimizing trauma to your body

SmartLipo Aftercare and Results

Minimal swelling may require an elastic bodysuit or compression garment to be worn for a few days after the procedure. Compression garments also assist the body in settling in to its new shape. In most people, results are evident within just a few days, and because the laser promotes the growth of collagen, the overall tightness of the skin will be dramatically improved, resulting in a permanently improved appearance within a few short months.
