SmartLipo is a minimal invasive procedure that delivers thermal energy directly to fat cells and disrupts the fatty tissue for easy removal. The laser literally melts the fat, which is removed with gentle suction. At the same time, tissue around the area tightens through coagulation, contributing to a smoother shape overall. With Smartlipo, there is significantly less bleeding, swelling and bruising than traditional liposuction. As a result, recovery is faster. Because local anesthetic is used instead of general anesthesia, you're awake during the procedure ... that's a real plus leading to a faster, easier recovery. In traditional liposuction, loose skin remains where fat is suctioned out. With SmartLipo you will have tightened skin from collagen production where lasers are used (visible after three to six months. The perfect candidate
is in good health and of normal body weight. The best candidates for Smartlipo are women and men who are not significantly overweight but have accumulated fat deposits — such as love handles, flabby upper arms, excess neck or facial fat or fat on the lower torso.
Tumescent Liposuction
Tumescent liposuction refers to a technique that uses large volumes of very dilute local anesthesia that is injected into the fat causing the targeted areas to be come tumescent, or swollen and firm. Local anesthesia is widely regarded as the safest form of anesthesia. Because local anesthesia persists for many hours there is no need for narcotic pain medications after surgery.
Modified Tumescent Liposuction
Modified tumescent liposuction refers to a combination of tumescent local anesthesia plus some form of systemic anesthesia (general anesthesia or heavy IV sedation). Because general anesthesia or heavy IV sedation can be dangerous, they must be administered by an anesthesiologist.
The Different Liposuction Techniques
There are many ways to do liposuction, for example liposuction can be accomplished painlessly either totally by local anesthesia or with general anesthesia. In the realm of liposuction, maximum speed and maximum volume of aspirate are not criteria for excellence. Ultimately, excellence is measured in terms of patient happiness which is a function of safety, patient comfort, finesse, and quality of results. The important distinction between liposuction surgeons who are board certified is the liposuction technique that they use. The surgeon's specialty is not as important as the surgeon's technique, experience and attitude toward safety.
