SmartLipo is easy SmartLipo removes as much fat as traditional liposuction without the "major surgery" or prolonged recovery. With in-office SmartLipo in Los Angeles, California patients remain awake and walk-in and walk-out. Most patients return to normal activity in 1–2 days. SmartLipo is safe SmartLipo in Los Angeles is performed using only local anesthetic. This method eliminates the risk of general anesthesia, which is associated with most serious liposuction complications. Our “tumescent” technique also minimizes bruising and bleeding. Today’s Lipo is more beautiful than ever With the use of high powered lasers and smaller liposuction cannulas, today’s liposuction allows for more precise contouring and promotes skin tightening. Smaller instruments mean smaller incisions. The "micro" technique used at Los Angeles SmartLipo Center today does not require sutures and normally leaves no unsightly scars. SmartLipo vs. “Old” Liposuction Years ago, getting the body of your dreams required major surgery that often resulted in pain, bruising, and an extended recovery time. Yesterday’s liposuction was risky and difficult, but we’ve come a long way since then. Yesterday: Liposuction was performed under general anesthesia, with the patient unconscious during the operation. Today: SmartLipo is much less invasive than liposuction of the past. Today, Laser Liposuction patients at Los Angeles Smart Lipo Center are given local anesthesia, numbing only the area that is being worked on. Patients are awake and alert during the entire procedure – opening the lines of communication between doctor and patient like never before. And, because SmartLipo doesn’t use the same heavy sedatives as traditional liposuction, patients are able to walk out of our offices after the procedure and return to most activities in just 1 to 2 days. Yesterday: Liposuction was a major surgery, sometimes resulting in serious complications in the operating room. Today: Many of the serious complications associated with traditional liposuction occurred because the patient was under heavy anesthesia. Patients under heavy anesthesia were unable to tell their doctors if the procedure was too aggressive or causing unusual amounts of pain. With Laser Liposuction at Los Angeles Smart Lipo Center, complications due to general anesthesia are eliminated. Patients remain awake under light sedation, able to communicate anything they are feeling. And, because SmartLipo uses only local anesthetic, patients are less likely to experience adverse reactions. Yesterday: Liposuction caused major bruising and unsightly scars. Today: Traditional liposuction was an aggressive procedure that produced deep bruises and sometimes required stitches, often resulting in scars. Laser Liposuction at Houston Smart Lipo Centers is different in two major ways: 1. It’s less invasive. Most areas of the body require only 1 to 2 tiny incisions. The cannula, or straw-like tool that is used to suck out fat, is only 2-3 millimeters wide –that’s about the size of a cooked piece of spaghetti. The incisions resulting from the procedure are barely noticeable after only a few weeks. Because the cannulas are so much smaller than the ones used in traditional liposuction, you won’t experience the unsightly scars that sometimes accompanied traditional liposuction. 2. It’s gentler. When using the larger instruments in traditional liposuction, doctors generally make larger, more aggressive strokes while removing fat. Because Laser Liposuction at Los Angeles Smart Lipo Center uses smaller cannulas, all procedures are performed with shorter, gentler strokes. Smart Lipo may take longer than traditional liposuction, but the procedure leaves minimal bruising and pain. With today’s SmartLipo, you get the same results as traditional liposuction without all of the bruising and scarring. Yesterday: Traditional liposuction meant a long recovery period and major soreness. Today: Because Laser Liposuction at Los Angeles Smart Lipo Center is gentler and less invasive, the recovery periods and soreness experienced are minimal. After the procedure, patients are able to walk out of our office, and they usually return to work in 1 to 2 days. Since Smart Lipo is not considered a major surgery, it is a completely outpatient procedure. We’ll ask that you wear a compression garment continuously for about two weeks or as directed by the doctor. Patients usually experience only mild soreness the day after the procedure – something equivalent to post-exercise muscle ache.
