Smart Lipo is a revolutionary fat reducing procedure that in many cases is set to replace traditional Liposuction as a way of removing fatty tissue directly from the body. Smart Lipo is the most recent fat reducing surgical procedure to be approved by the FDA (on the 9th of November 2006). It’s already popular after just 18 months of approval. And it looks set to continue to gain in popularity as people discover its benefits.

Here we will explain to you 3 key benefits of SmartLipo over the older forms of operative fat removal like Liposuction.

A Small Surgical Incision

The smart lipo procedure employs a thin wand or instrument, inserted under the skin. Therefore there is only the need for a small incision. Ultimately this results in less trauma for you. Less surgical injury means less pain, and quicker recovery. Liposuction takes a larger opening since a bigger “hose”-like instrument is pushed under the skin.

A Smaller Amount of Bruising and Bleeding

Smart Lipo uses a laser instrument and the force of the laser is what melts your fat tissue away. It destroys fat cells - permanently in fact. This process is in contrast to lipo-suction where the operation is more physical, involving suction. The liposucton process is much more traumatic and results in more bruising than you would see with smartlipo.

Quicker Recovery Duration

Liposuction generally requires at least an overnight stay in hospital. Subsequently it can take several weeks for your body to adapt to the operation. During that period there’s be pain and you’d normally have to wear pressure garments. Smart Lipo on the other hand can be taken in your lunch break! You do not always need pressure garments though they will certainly be recommended in some instances.
