smartlipo
Smartlipo is a minimally invasive procedure of unwanted fat removal from a particular area or region of the body. It is just like an alternate procedure to liposuction and is approved by FDA. The adipose tissue also called fatty tissue is destroyed or dissolved in this process. The adipose tissue is located just beneath the skin in human beings.
SMARTLIPO LASER PROCEDURE
Smartlipo laser technique removes this trapped unwanted targeted fatty tissue by its power of laser energy. The instrument used in this surgery is very tiny of just about 1 mm in diameter. It is inserted in to the region of the body where surgery has to be performed by small incision under local anesthesia. It has the capacity to differentiate between the fatty tissues and other tissues and blood vessels. So the surgery is safe as other tissues and blood vessels are not affected. The loose skin of the area gets tightened by this process as the development of the collagen is also aided giving the skin a pleasing and appealing look.
SMARTLIPO IDEAL CANDIDATES
Smartlipo surgery is ideally for those people who are fit and want to get rid of localized fat which is not responding to diet. Both men and women can undergo this surgery with minimum risk involved.
In smartlipo treatment most people opt for abdomen, love handle and outer thigh surgery. However there are many localized organs of the body which fat can be removed by this technique. They are as follows in order of bodily organs present from above to below
Face
Cheeks
Chin
Neck
Upper arms
Breast region
Gynecomastia problem
Abdomen
Love handles
Hips
Thighs
Knees
Smartlipo treatment is not advisable for people who are
Pregnant women
Diabetic
Kidney disease
Liver disorder
Congenital heart disease
Blood and autoimmune disorders
In case if you have any infection in the area where surgery has to be performed then it is strictly not advisable.
SMARTLIPO SIDE EFFECTS
Smartlipo risk factors or side effects are so low unlike other cosmetic surgeries which help in fat removal like liposuction and lipodissolve. The risk factors of smartlipo surgery are
Swelling
Minimum bruising
Redness around the surgery region
Rarely hematoma
NOTE- These side effects generally won’t last more than one day and the deposition of the blood under the skin (Hematoma) is very rare.
SMARTLIPO DOCTORS
Smartlipo doctor should be wisely chosen to avoid the risks involved. This is because there are very few well qualified smartlipo doctors are available in United States. Choosing an experienced doctor who has already performed this surgery quite a few times will reduce the chances of getting affected by the possible side effects involved. The patient should let the doctor know about his past medical history. The doctor will definitely examine the current medical status of the person. If all goes well then surgery is done under any of the qualified surgeons available.
SMARTLIPO LASER SURGERY
Smartlipo surgeon performs the surgery with a small cannula which is just about 1mm in diameter which contains a laser fiber. This cannula is inserted into the skin under local anesthesia and the surgeon moves the cannula all over the affected area. The energy produced from the cannula makes the fat to melt down and gets liquefied. This melted fat is drained out. I repeat the cannula used in this process has the ability to differentiate between the fat cells being targeted and other tissues. So fat melted is targeted which means the other tissues and blood vessels of the body remains unaffected. An up gradation in the smartlipo surgery device is out now which is even more beneficial. It is called smartlipo MPX which is also FDA approved.
SMARTLIPO-MPX
Smartlipo MPX device has an interesting aspect to look at. In case while performing surgery if the doctor keeps the laser at an area for a particular period of time which is more than enough then the device slows down itself giving an indication to the doctor. Thus smartlipo MPX is even safer.
The amount of fat which can be removed in one smartlipo surgery session is 3500mL and the desired results can be achieved within 1 to 3 sessions
SMARTLIPO RECOVERY
The recovery time for smartlipo patient is around 2 to 3 days. The patient can get back to the normal life activity right from the next day.
SMARTLIPO RESULTS
One of the most common questions among smartlipo patient is by when can I see the desired results?
Mostly within a week the results starts seen however it takes around 2 months to 6 months depending on the area treated to see the best results. As the swelling decreases and the time passes on the desired results do start appearing.
SMARTLIPO vs. LIPOSUCTION
Liposuction alternative is what some doctors call smartlipo. Alternative to liposuction doesn’t mean that smartlipo patient has to face same kind of problems.
During the process there is much less discomfort to the individual when compared to the discomfort involved in traditional liposuction. This is because smartlipo surgery is done under local anesthesia where as in liposuction procedure general anesthesia is given.
As the cannula is so small the incision made is also small and it generally doesn’t requires any sutures. Moreover there is comparatively very less bleeding and bruising than liposuction.
Patient remains awake during this surgery unlike liposuction where general anesthesia is used.
Smartlipo cost depends on the area of the surgery has to be done, the clinical staff involved in the surgery. Smartlipo prices ranges between $2000 and $5,000 depending on the above mentioned factors. Cost of smartlipo seems to be higher but looking at the safety, minimum side effects involved and less downtime pricing and cost should not come as a big factor.
The health insurance companies usually don’t pay for the smartlipo surgery as it is a cosmetic surgery. This is where the financing companies comes to rescue and provides financial help in order to avoid further delay in the surgery of smartlipo.
Although you may think a bit about the surgery cost and financial issues but remember the fat once removed from the region will never comes back. So don’t think much about onetime payment for this surgery called smartlipo.
