What is SmartLipo?

Smartlipo™ is a cosmetic surgery that removes fat across all body parts. The Smartlipo™ laser was approved in 2006 by the FDA. Smartlipo also goes by the name of “Lipolysis” or laser lipo. The Smartlipo™ technology uses laser energy to sculpt the body contours to the client’s specifications.

There are many different options out there for people who are looking to lose extra fat. Treatments that use heat, cold, or even lasers can all help you look your best. SmartLipo™ combines two methods of fat reduction to give you the best results possible.

Liposuction removes excess fat from the area or areas in question. Laser technology stimulates collagen production during liposuction.

By combining these two methods, patients get better results and even an easier procedure.

Of course, liposuction removes fat, allowing patients to see results right away. But when combined with the laser, collagen is stimulated, giving patients tighter skin as well. Plus, the laser can help melt fat, which makes it easier for Dr. Giordano to suction out using liposuction.

What Are the Benefits of SmartLipo?

SmartLipo™ treatments help individuals remove inches of unwanted body fat. During the procedure, very small incisions are made and a sterile probe, called a cannula, is inserted to suction out the unwanted fat cells. At CAMI, we use microcannulas to reduce scarring and minimize downtime. The addition of the SmartLipo laser fiber also uses heat to stimulate collagen production and help address skin tightening.”

With barely any scarring and short downtime, body contouring is a minimally invasive, smart, laser-assisted lipolysis procedure that targets trouble spots like your abdomen, arms, buttocks, thighs, and neck while permanently eliminating fat.

If your problem areas won’t respond to exercise and diet, Smartlipo™ provides dramatic improvements with greater results, minimal downtime, and less pain than traditional liposuction.

Who Are the Best Candidates for SmartLipo?

SmartLipo is ideal for those looking to target stubborn fat areas that haven’t budged despite a healthy lifestyle. The best candidates are typically:

  • Close to their ideal weight: Ideal candidates are within 10-20 pounds of their target weight and maintain a stable weight.
  • Healthy and active: Good overall health and a regular exercise routine help ensure better results and a smoother recovery.
  • Realistic expectations: Those who understand that SmartLipo is not a substitute for weight loss but a tool for contouring specific areas.
  • Stubborn fat areas: Individuals with localized fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms, or back that are resistant to diet and exercise.
  • No major health issues: Candidates should be free from conditions that might affect their ability to heal or undergo the procedure.

SmartLipo is all about refining and sculpting, so if you’re ready to enhance your body’s contours and have realistic goals, this could be a great fit for you!

Let’s Get Started

What’s the First Step?

During your consultation, we will discuss any preparatory steps that may be necessary to facilitate the success of your procedure, but unlike other, more invasive treatments, your procedure preparation should be minimal.

What to Expect on the Day of SmartLipo Treatment

SmartLipo is done under local anesthetic to minimize any possibility of discomfort. While most patients opt to stay awake under “twilight sedation,” where you are administered sedative medications, some patients opt to undergo general anesthesia. Once in the office, the laser liposuction fiber is inserted through a very small incision, and melts the fat while stimulating skin tightening.  The excess fat is then gently suctioned out. It is an in-office procedure that typically lasts a few hours, depending on the number of areas to be treated and the size of each area. There are no stiches or surgical drains required. Once your nurse assists you into your compression garment and completes your post-operative monitoring, you are discharged home typically within thirty minutes after the procedure. You are required to have a designated driver to take you home.

SmartLipo Recovery

Many patients enjoy a fairly quick recovery process with SmartLipo™ and are able to return to work and other regular daily activities within just a few days.
After your procedure, you may experience some minor bruising and swelling, and you will be required to wear a compression garment for several weeks to help with the recovery process. You will be able to return to your normal activities within a day or two, though, and for most patients, great results are achieved in just one Smartlipo™ treatment.
You will begin to see results immediately after SmartLipo™, with continued improvement over the next six to nine months. Best of all, your results will be long-lasting since your fat cells are permanently destroyed in the treated area. However, it is important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regimen.
