What is SmartLipo?

SmartLipo is a laser lipolysis device designed to melt subcutaneous fat for removal through suction and simultaneously tighten the surrounding skin.

The key distinction between traditional liposuction and laser-assisted liposuction is the improvement in the preparation process for the removal of fat cells. Because the laser liquefies the fat cells, the size of cannula required to remove them is significantly smaller. Laser assisted liposuction allows for a very small incision, and promises a less invasive procedure, and therefore a faster recovery.

Although SmartLipo promises skin tightening as an additional benefit to the procedure, it may not be appropriate for people who have excessive skin laxity. For those who need a major reduction of excess skin, an abdominoplasty or tummy tuck may be more appropriate.

Several other new brand-name devices combine traditional suction with laser or ultrasound technology to provide additional features. Some of these devices include Cool Lipo, VASER Liposelection, and ProLipo.

Is Smart Lipo safe?

Be are honest with your plastic surgeon about your medical history and your goals for the surgery, and choose a surgeon who is experienced and qualified to perform Smart Lipo in Virginia. No surgery is without some level of risk, and your surgeon should explain all of the side effects and possible risks prior to surgery.

Tips for finding the right Virginia Smart Lipo surgeon

1. Ask your Virginia Smart Lipo plastic surgeon, what is your board certification and which professional societies do you belong to?
2. Is the facility where my surgery will take place an accredited facility?
3. What exactly can I expect during and after Smart Lipo surgery?
4. Are there any alternatives to Smart Lipo that I should be aware of?
5. May I see before and after photos of other Virginia patients who have already had Smart Lipo?
6. May I speak to a current patient who has already had Smart Lipo?

Do not commit to Smart Lipo with a Virginia doctor or plastic surgeon based solely upon advertising, special pricing, or the referral of another patient before fully researching the background of the surgeon.
