The Concept Of SmartLipo

SmartLipo involves utilizing a laser during liposuction surgery. SmartLipo works by placing a very narrow cannula carrying a laser fiber beneath the skin. The cannula is carefully and precisely positioned to direct the laser’s energy straight onto the fat cells that need to be removed. This makes the fat cells burst and dissolve so that it can be suctioned out of the body.

Goals

The idea here is really not that different from conventional liposuction. However, it does have some added benefits. Due to the heat that can be produced with the laser assisted method, experts believe that it can assist with secondary firming of the skin, particularly on the abdomen, thighs and neck. The method appears to function best in cases of mild to moderate skin drooping and small to medium fat excess.

However, it may be a more challenging undertaking if bigger areas need to be treated. The procedure is designed to eliminate localized portions of fat and can be utilized on the hips, waist, thighs, buttocks, arms, chin, back of neck, face, and pubic mound. It was developed to effectively reach small, tricky parts of the body that conventional liposuction is usually unable to treat.

Another goal is faster recovery. Laser technology is able to quickly prevent further bleeding and is known to be able to trigger the production of collagen in the skin, helping patients heal properly and faster. It’s also because of faster recovery that makes this new procedure safer. Overall, the procedure’s aim is to offer patients with a less invasive option, firmer skin after liposuction, and faster recovery.

What SmartLipo Is Not

After the procedure, patients will be left with permanently removed fat cells in treated areas. Fat cells do not grow back in adults, so once they are gone, they are gone for good. Fat cells only expand in size. What’s great about liposuction is that, even with slight weight gain after surgery, the desired form and contour of the body is preserved. However, what the new technique and other similar methods is not, is a replacement for diet and exercise. The procedure was developed to provide a way to get rid of fat in certain areas that does not respond to lifestyle changes. You may bloat up in other parts of your body even after surgery if you don’t maintain proper nutrition and exercise regularly.

Outlook

Smart Lipo results are evident right after the surgery and will go on improving for the next 3 months. The result is not only less fat in treated areas, but also better contour, smoother skin, and a firmer feeling. This is unlike after traditional liposuction, where the loose, excess skin can still sag over areas where large amounts of fat have been removed.
