Search RealSelf.com for California Smart Lipo information
Smart Lipo laser lipolysis is offered by several local California providers, who are listed in the following unpaid directory. This directory is an unbiased resource for locating California Smart Lipo doctors. All California plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and other doctors listed on RealSelf.com receive a free profile page and are listed according to their level of participation in the community.
SmartLipo is a laser lipolysis device designed to melt subcutaneous fat for removal through suction and simultaneously tighten the surrounding skin.
The key distinction between traditional liposuction and laser-assisted liposuction is the improvement in the preparation process for the removal of fat cells. Because the laser liquefies the fat cells, the size of cannula required to remove them is significantly smaller. Laser assisted liposuction allows for a very small incision, and promises a less invasive procedure, and therefore a faster recovery.
Although SmartLipo promises skin tightening as an additional benefit to the procedure, it may not be appropriate for people who have excessive skin laxity. For those who need a major reduction of excess skin, an abdominoplasty or tummy tuck may be more appropriate.
Several other new brand-name devices combine traditional suction with laser or ultrasound technology to provide additional features. Some of these devices include Cool Lipo, VASER Liposelection, and ProLipo.
Be are honest with your plastic surgeon about your medical history and your goals for the surgery, and choose a surgeon who is experienced and qualified to perform Smart Lipo in California. No surgery is without some level of risk, and your surgeon should explain all of the side effects and possible risks prior to surgery.
Do not commit to Smart Lipo with a California doctor or plastic surgeon based solely upon advertising, special pricing, or the referral of another patient before fully researching the background of the surgeon.
