NEWPORT BEACH PLASTIC SURGERY: SMART LIPO
View Our SpecialsDr. Hisham Seify, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon at Newport Beach Plastic Surgery, is pleased to offer his patients the option of Smart Lipo, an innovative approach to liposuction. Using this minimally-invasive method of laser lipolysis, Dr. Seify can literally melt away your fat with less recovery time and few, if any, scabs and scars. With the help of revolutionary and innovative technology, Smart Lipo has drastically increased the safety and effectiveness of traditional liposuction procedures, and provides patients with a less invasive method of sculpting and enhancing the contours of the body.
THE SMART LIPO TECHNOLOGY
The goal of Smart Lipo is literally to melt away fat and tighten the skin in the target area to provide greater contouring in the face, neck, arms, midsection, buttocks, and thighs. The medical-grade lasers utilized by Smart Lipo create thermal and photomechanical wavelengths that rupture and liquefy fat cells. The melted fat is then suctioned from the body, while the adjacent blood vessels are simultaneously coagulated, meaning less bleeding and body bruising for the patient.
The use of Smart Lipo provides several key advantages to both surgeon and patient. First, the use of laser technology allows the surgeon greater control over the cannula (the tubes used to insert the lasers and remove the fat), allowing for very precise surgical maneuvers and minimizing the impact on surrounding tissue. This also keeps bruising and swelling to a minimum. Second, because the fat is liquefied, the cannula used for extraction can be significantly smaller than in traditional liposuction procedures, leading to smaller incisions and less scarring. Finally, because Smart Lipo is minimally-invasive, it can be done under local anesthesia, with less pain, and with shorter recovery time.
SMART LIPO CANDIDATES
As with traditional liposuction procedures, the ideal candidates for Smart Lipo include patients who are in good health, eat well, and exercise regularly. Patients should have realistic expectations about the results of Smart Lipo, and need to understand that this procedure is designed to eliminate areas of fat that cannot be removed through diet and exercise. Smart Lipo is an excellent procedure for women seeking to reduce hard-to-eliminate, post-pregnancy fatty deposits, but who are not anticipating future pregnancies (which will likely detract from the results of the procedure).
Benefits of Smart Lipo Procedure
Smart Lipo, also known as laser liposuction, is a cosmetic procedure that has become increasingly popular in recent years. It is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a laser to melt and remove fat from different areas of the body, including the abdomen, thighs, hips, and arms. The laser energy is applied to the targeted area, which liquefies the fat cells, making it easier to remove them.
One of the biggest benefits of Smart Lipo is that it is a minimally invasive procedure, which means that there is less downtime and discomfort compared to traditional liposuction. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, which means that the patient is awake during the procedure and can go home the same day. This makes it an ideal option for people who want to avoid the risks and recovery time associated with traditional liposuction.
Another benefit of Smart Lipo is that it can produce more precise and targeted results than traditional liposuction. The laser energy used during the procedure can be directed precisely to the areas of the body where fat is to be removed. This allows for more precise sculpting of the body and can help to create a more toned and defined appearance.
Smart Lipo also has a shorter recovery time compared to traditional liposuction. Most patients are able to return to work and normal activities within a few days after the procedure. This is because there is less trauma to the body during the procedure and there is less swelling and bruising compared to traditional liposuction.
Smart Lipo is also an effective treatment option for patients who have already undergone traditional liposuction but are looking for further body contouring. It can be used to target specific areas of the body where traditional liposuction may not have been effective.
If you are considering Smart Lipo, it is important to find a qualified and experienced surgeon. Look for a surgeon who is board-certified in plastic surgery and has extensive experience performing the procedure. You can search for Smart Lipo providers near you by searching online for “Smart Lipo near me” or “lipo Newport Beach.”
PROCEDURE AND RECOVERY
Smart Lipo can be used as a stand-alone technique or in conjunction with traditional liposuction. A consultation with Dr. Seify and his staff at Newport Beach Plastic Surgery will determine how long the procedure will take, depending on your weight, height, and desired outcome. Generally, only one treatment under local anesthesia is required to obtain the desired outcome. Because Smart Lipo is minimally-invasive, bleeding, swelling, and soreness are usually short-lived. Rest for 24-48 hours is recommended, after which patients can return to work. Incisions should heal in 2-4 weeks with no scarring, and patients can return to normal physical activities in 2-3 weeks. You should see results immediately.
