What is SmarLipo?

SmartLipo is a pioneer laser-assisted lipolysis system used in the removal of fat. This procedure is minimally invasive with less downtime and side effects than traditional liposuction. Unlike traditional liposuction, SmartLipo Miami uses lasers to remove unwanted fat.

Smart lipo vs. traditional lipo

While there are some similarities between smart lipo and traditional lipo, there are some key differences as well:

  • Technique – Traditional lipo techniques use physical manipulation and a cannula to break up the fat and suction it while SmartLipo uses laser heat to melt the fat so that it can be easily removed along with a cannula or tube, which will result in less discomfort and bruising for the patient.
  • Skin tightening- SmartLipo can also tighten the skin while traditional lipo can’t tighten the skin alone unless combined with another procedure. Traditional liposuction can produce dimpling or sag, particularly in older patients with poor skin elasticity.
  • Recovery – Traditional liposuction requires more time to recover fully than SmartLipo, about six weeks during which time patients are expected to wear compression garments. With SmartLipo, patients may improve in a couple of days requiring compression garments for a week.

SmartLipo Miami - Who is a good a candidate?

Almost anybody can be a good candidate for SmartLipo Miami as long as the patient meets some general requirements:

  • The patient is in good health, keeps fit, and is within 20 lbs. of the desired weight.
  • There are a few areas of stubborn fat deposits that may not respond to dieting and exercising.
  • The patient is bothered by fatty regions and would like to eliminate them permanently.

Your surgeon will determine whether you are a good candidate for the SmartLipo procedure during the initial consultation after a successful medical assessment and will explain in details what to expect from the SmartLipo procedure.

How Does SmartLipo Work?

SmartLipo is entirely different from traditional liposuction since it uses a calibrated laser to melt fat deposits and rupture fat cells so the unwanted substance can be easily removed through a tiny incision in the skin. During SmartLipo Miami, lasers work by creating an intense light beam, which can be adjusted to a particular frequency range.

First, your surgeon will mark the targeted areas and then inject a local anesthetic. Then a small cannula or tube of about 1.0 mm to 2.0 mm in diameter comprising a laser fiver is inserted in the skin. The surgeon moves back and forth the cannula as it carries the laser energy to fat cells causing them to liquefy and be easily removed.

The SmartLipo procedure can be performed under local anesthesia. There is less bleeding, bruising and SmartLipo recovery time. Since general anesthesia is not used, there aren’t many SmartLipo side effects.

SmartLipo Benefits

Patients that have stubborn fat deposits that can’t be eliminated with diet and exercise alone can benefit from SmartLipo. Some benefits of this procedure are:

  • It is less invasive than traditional liposuction as it uses lasers to liquefy fat.
  • It can help patients lose inches of fat, which will result in a slimmer contour.
  • It helps eliminate cellulite and sagging skin. This produce stimulates collagen production, which helps rejuvenate the body.
  • The incisions used in the SmartLipo procedure are smaller than the incisions used in traditional liposuction. They are scarcely noticeable once healed.
  • SmarttLipo recovery is faster than traditional lipo since this procedure is less invasive. Patients may experience some pain for the first two days following surgery.

SmartLipo Recovery

During SmartLipo recovery, patients will heal in several steps:

  • First, numbness may be present at the surgical site, which should disappear in a few days.
  • Patients are advised to rest 1-2 days.
  • The swelling should go away in no more than a week during which time patients may carry on normal activities.
  • The skin should be back to normal within three months.
  • Patients must follow their doctor’s postoperative instructions.
  • Patients should refrain from blood thinners such as aspirin, Advil, and ibuprofen, and should not smoke.
  • Never miss follow-up visits to confirm the areas are healing well without scarring or infection.

Risks Associated with a SmartLipo procedure

As with any other surgical procedure, SmartLipo Miami has some potential risks but much less since this procedure is less invasive. Some patients may experience rare infection and hematoma. Minor swelling and bruising are also possible as well as burns caused by the laser’s heat. Asymmetrical results, swelling and bruising are some of the long-term risks associated with the SmartLipo procedure or any other lipo technique. Choosing an experienced surgeon will decrease the possibility of any SmartLipo side effects and lead to more satisfying results.
