New Smart Liposuction Procedure

How it Works

In traditional liposuction fat is vacuumed out of the body through a tube and requires general anesthetic. Traditional liposuction also targets larger areas of the body. Smart liposuction on the other hand can sometimes be done with local anesthesia as the body feels much less trauma than with the traditional procedure. The incisions made for smart liposuction are also much smaller and so scarring is less noticeable.

The cannula, or small tube, is inserted into the area that is being targeted for fat removal and a laser fibre is sent through the cannula. The laser fibre breaks up fat and compacts tissue and blood vessels surrounding the fat. The result is tighter tissue and less of the bruising, swelling and bleeding of traditional liposuction. Smart liposuction does not result in hanging skin due to the tightening of tissue and the stimulation of collagen that occurs.

Ideal Candidates

People who are generally in good health and have a few problem areas are ideal candidates for smart liposuction. Smart liposuction is not considered a solution for obesity or individuals who are severely overweight. Areas such as the neck, jowls, stomach, upper arms, outer thighs and male breasts are commonly treated with this procedure. However speak to your cosmetic surgeon to find out if you are a good candidate for this procedure.

Results

The results of smart liposuction are permanent as long as the patient maintains a healthy diet and regular exercise program. This is true of even traditional liposuction. The results of smart liposuction are more noticeable because of the fast recovery time and minimal swelling and bruising. The pain factor is also significantly lower than that of traditional liposuction. The pain of recovery is described as a dull ache and patients can return to non-strenuous work after a day.
