FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS SMARTLIPO?
SmartLipo is a minimally invasive laser-assisted liposuction procedure that uses advanced laser technology to remove excess fat and contour the body.
HOW DOES SMARTLIPO WORK?
During the procedure, a small laser fiber is inserted into the treatment area, where it emits laser energy that liquefies the fat cells. The liquefied fat is then gently suctioned out of the body through a small incision.
IS SMARTLIPO SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE?
SmartLipo is generally safe for most individuals, but a consultation with a licensed medical professional is necessary to determine if it is the right option. Those with certain medical conditions or significant excess skin may not be suitable candidates for SmartLipo.
WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON TREATMENT AREAS?
The most common treatment areas for SmartLipo include the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, and upper arms. It can also be used on smaller areas such as the chin, neck, and knees.
WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT FROM SMARTLIPO?
Most patients can expect to see a significant improvement in their body contour following SmartLipo, with results becoming more visible over time. The procedure can effectively remove excess fat, tighten skin, and improve overall body shape.
IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME AFTER SMARTLIPO?
Most patients can resume their normal activities within a few days after the procedure, with minimal discomfort and downtime. Some swelling and bruising may occur, but this typically subsides within a few weeks.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE REQUIRED?
Most patients achieve their desired results with just one SmartLipo treatment. However, additional treatments may be necessary depending on the amount of excess fat and the desired level of body contouring.
IS SMARTLIPO PERMANENT?
SmartLipo can permanently remove excess fat cells from the treated area. However, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent the remaining fat cells from expanding and compromising the results of the procedure.
HOW CAN I PREPARE FOR SMARTLIPO?
Before the procedure, it is important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding preoperative care. This may include avoiding certain medications, quitting smoking, and maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine.
DOES SMARTLIPO HURT?
Most patients experience only mild discomfort during the procedure, often compared to a mild burning or stinging sensation. The discomfort is generally well-tolerated and does not require any anesthesia.
