Smart Lipo – How Laser Can Provide Effective Liposuction Treatments

There are a variety of techniques that can be used in liposuction procedures. Naturally, these techniques are selected according to the specific needs of the patient, so current liposuction procedures can be quite diverse.

One of the liposuction procedures that is commonly used is the so-called Smart Lipo procedure. If you wish to learn more about Smart Lipo, please read the information provided by The Dr Lanzer Clinic below.

What Is Smart Lipo?

Smart Lipo is a liposuction procedure that works with laser technology. Laser liposuction consists of a frequency-adjusted light beam. During the treatment, the surgeon will use the light beam on the patient’s skin to “liquefy” the fat. The cosmetic surgery procedure can be executed on various areas of the body.

Due to the use of laser technology, the cosmetic surgery only needs to make a tiny incision (nick), through which the surgeon will remove the fluid. Due to the nature of this procedure, the surgeon can execute this procedure by a local anaesthetic. Small incisions also tend to reduce the overall recovery time of patients. This is also a major reason why many patients choose laser lipolysis.

Contrary to popular belief Smart Lipo is not a weight loss solution. Instead, you could describe it as a body sculpting procedure, which focuses on restoring the aesthetic of the treated area. It shows off the hard work of the patient, so it is a great procedure for patients who enjoy a healthy diet and exercise on a regular basis.

Which Patients Are Eligible for a Smart Liposuction Procedure?

Patients who are in good health with a relatively normal body weight are eligible for the procedure. It is a good procedure for patients who are struggling with small, localised fat deposits in certain areas. A cosmetic surgery can execute the procedure on various parts of the body. Smart lipo is commonly performed on the face, breasts, chin, neck, and the abdomen.

To determine the suitability of smart liposuction for the problems you are encountering, it is best to book a consultation with The Dr Lanzer Clinic. Dr Lanzer can determine if Smart Lipo is the best treatment route for you to take after a medical evaluation.

What Are the Risks Associated with Smart Liposuction?

Every cosmetic procedure is associated with some degree of risk; this includes a procedure such as Smart Liposuction. Before you can undergo this kind of procedure, you will be given a consent form; this form includes all the risks accompanying the procedure. It is important for patients to understand the risks before they sign the consent form and undergo the procedure in question.

Is Smart Liposuction a Painful Procedure?

Smart lipo is not painful, as the patient will be having an anaesthetic before the procedure begins. Of course, the patient can experience some discomfort after the procedure. It is common for patients to experience some minor bruising and swelling, which are relatively manageable after the treatment.

Before a patient leaves the clinic, patients can be given certain medication to reduce any discomfort or prevent infection. Medications that will be given to you after the procedure will be discussed during your consultation at The Dr Lanzer Clinic.

How Long Does a Smart Liposuction Procedure Last?

The duration of Smart Liposuction can vary considerably from patient to patient, since it depends on the amount of fat that needs to be removed as well as the complexity of the treatment area. As an average, the procedure can take from an hour and a half to two hours. Naturally, this can vary from patient to patient as explained earlier.

Do I Need to Stay in the Hospital Overnight?

Most patients can leave the clinic on the day of their procedure. Before you can leave the clinic, you will be evaluated by a medical professional and cleared to leave it is deemed safe.

Even though Smart Lipo is a minor procedure, it is still recommended for patients to have someone drive them home. It is also recommended to have someone with you for the first twenty-four hours after the treatment.

How Long Does It Take Before I See Results After a Smart Liposuction Procedure?

The results from a smart liposuction procedure can usually be seen several weeks after the procedure. It is important for patients to evaluate their results once side-effects such as bruising and swelling have gone down. You can also evaluate the results you have obtained during your follow-up appointment at The Dr Lanzer Clinic.

How Long Do the Results Obtained from Smart Liposuction Last?

Smart liposuction is a procedure that destroys the fat cells in a certain treatment area. However, this does not mean that the patient can no longer experience weight gain in the future. Thus, it is important for patients to maintain a healthy lifestyle after the procedure; this includes following a balanced diet and getting plenty of exercise. If you need some advice regarding the maintenance of your results, you can also obtain some assistance from The Dr Lanzer Clinic.

Please note that treatments such as liposculpture should not be obtained for the treatment of cellulite. Liposuction procedures are used to remove unwanted fat and do not tackle any skin-related problems such as cellulite. Fortunately, there are other treatments in Australia that can be obtained for the treatment of cellulite.
