Q: What if I've already had regular liposuction?

A: SmartLipo may be extremely effective for improving upon body areas that have been previously treated with traditional liposuction. With the SmartLipo procedure your doctor can further sculpt or contour those areas on the body that have "droopy" skin, especially if you are a fit, healthy person who wants additional toning and tightening.

 

Q: Does laser liposuction provide lasting results?

A: Yes! Adults do not create new fat cells. When a person gains weight, the existing fat cells expand. The SmartLipo procedure permanently removes these fat cells. If a patient still regains weight after the procedure, most fat will be deposited in areas where the procedure was not performed.

 

Q: How does Smartlipo compare to traditional liposuction?

A: With the following: · There is less swelling, bleeding and bruising than with traditional liposuction since the small laser can also seal blood vessels as it zaps fat.

The minimal invasiveness of the procedure allows patients to experience fewer complications and have a quicker recovery with lesser downtime.

SmartLipo can be performed only with a local anesthetic . Because the patient is not completely unconscious, SmartLipo carries much fewer risks than traditional liposuction that requires general anesthesia , and the recovery time is much shorter. SmartLipo is cutting-edge, safe and effective.

Many patients of traditional liposuction find that their skin does not adjust to the reduction of fat deposits, which often results in unattractive sagging skin. These patients often require surgical skin lifts that can lead to scars. On the other hand, by applying laser energy on the inside of the loose skin SmartLipo laser technology can reconstruct and tighten the deeper skin layers , improving or even eliminating droopy skin.

You want something more affordable than traditional liposuction. The average traditional liposuction procedure on an abdomen costs about $6,500. The average SmartLipo abdomen procedure costs $5,000. This difference in pricing represents a 30% cost savings!

SmartLipo can work on areas that traditional liposuction cannot. Since the aiming beam at the tip of the SmartLipo laser allows the doctor to know exactly where he or she is at all times and the SmartLipo tube that enters the skin is so small (1 millimeter), the procedure is very precise. As such, SmartLipo is very effective in body areas that are too small for traditional liposuction.
