How Is Smart liposuction Different?

Smart liposuction goes after fat cells with a special type of laser and liquefies them. Any fat that is liquefied and not vacuumed out as part of the liposuction procedure is expelled as waste within a day or two. The lasers are very safe and effective because they can even distinguish between fat cells and other tissues like nerves and blood vessels.

Smart liposuction starts with the liposuction doctor injecting a saline solution into the liposuction area to numb the area and make the blood vessels shrink.  He then inserts the laser and liquefies any fat that is to be removed.  In the last stage a cannula is inserted and sucks out the liquefied fat deposits.

What Makes A Good Smart Liposuction Candidate?

Smart liposuction is perfect for those who have just a small amount of fat that needing removal.  Just like other types of liposuction this is not meant to be a weight loss method.  The perfect smart liposuction candidate should have no more than ten pounds to get to their goal weight.

Best Body Parts For Smart Liposuction?

There are no limitations to where smart liposuction can be.  This means that arms, legs, chest, back, facial areas and abdominals are all good places to use smart liposuction.

What Will Smart Liposuction Cost?

Smart liposuction is similar in cost to standard liposuction.  The overall expense will vary based on where in the U.S. you have your liposuction done.  Certain body parts like the upper abs are also a bit more costly.  Overall you should plan on paying anywhere from $2500 and up to $5000 per body part.

What Benefits Does Smart Liposuction Offer?

Smart liposuction has a variety of advantages when compared with standard liposuction.  The tubes used with standard liposuction are typically much larger than those used in smart liposuction.  These smaller tubes mean less pain and discomfort for you in addition to more control for the doctor.  The increased precision means the doctor can provide a better end result.

There is also less degree of bruising, bleeding and swelling with smart liposuction because the laser not only dissolves the fat, but also closes off the blood vessels at the same time.  This makes recovery times much faster with smart liposuction.  Usually it will take only two days to heal when having smart liposuction compared with seven days for standard liposuction.  On top of that you will only need to wear a compression garment for 2 weeks after your surgery instead of the normal 6 weeks.

An additional benefit of smart liposuction is that the heat generated by the laser will increase the skins collagen production and the skin will tighten naturally, kind of like shrink wrap.  Standard liposuction doesn’t provide this benefit at all and often times additional tucks and lifts are required to remove excess skin when standard liposuction is done.

Those who have just small amounts of fat to get rid of will likely find that they are good candidates for smart liposuction.  If you have the chance to opt for smart liposuction you should do so as it is an improved technique that provides great results.
