It this describes your situation, SmartLipo, the first laser-assisted liposuction technique, could be right for you! The SmartLipo device was approved by the FDA in 2006. The resulting cutting-edge procedure combines the benefits of laser technology with traditional liposuction to contour small areas of the neck, face, upper arms, knees, back, and other body parts. SmartLipo can also be used in conjunction with conventional liposuction for larger areas of fat reduction. It costs about 30 percent less than usual liposuction methods

Dr. M. Christine Lee is a pioneer in the use of lasers in dermatology. During the SmartLipo procedure, she utilizes a carefully calibrated medical grade laser, through the topmost layers of skin, to liquefy fat cells beneath. As the fat cells rupture, they are drained with a cannula through a tiny incision. Treatment typically takes about 45 minutes per area.

SmartLipo carries less surgical risk, since it requires only local anesthetic, and downtime is reduced to just a day or two (treated areas remain bandaged for about two weeks). While it eliminates fat, the laser seals blood vessels for minimal bleeding and bruising. The laser also allows for very precise movements, since it serves as a visual guide for Dr. Lee. Surrounding skin is pulled inward during the SmartLipo process so it doesn’t droop! Reconstructing underneath layers tightens skin for beautiful, natural contours without sagging. You’ll see results right away, and more improvement over the next few months.

Before smart lipo often patients would not even consider liposuction because of the associated pain and significant recover period. The regular liposuction the pain is what scared me and scarring that would occur after the liposuction – but when I heard about the Smart Lipo that scarring would be very small and I would not have to wear the garment from a few months afterwards and the pain would be minimal.

Unlike the traditional liposuction which requires the patients to be put out under general anesthesia Smartly uses local anesthetic.
