enlargement - reduction - reconstruction
Smart Lipo or SmartLipo as some people call it is a revolutionary fat reducing operation that is likely set to replace traditional Liposuction as a way of removing excess 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 grow in popularity as many more people discover its advantages.
This article will explain to you 3 key advantages of SmartLipo over old forms of operative fat extraction like Liposuction.
Less Cutting
The smartlipo procedure only uses a very thin wand instrument, inserted below the skin. Thus there is just the need for a very small incision. This ultimately results in less trauma for you. Less trauma means less pain, and faster recovery. Liposuction takes a larger opening since a larger hose-like instrument is pushed below the skin.
A Smaller Amount of Bruising and Bleeding
Smart Lipo uses a laser instrument and the power of the laser is what melts the fatty tissue away. It destroys fat cells - permanently in fact. This process is markedly different to lipo-suction where the process is more physical, involving suction. So this process is much more traumatic to the body and results in more bruising than you would experience with smartlipo.
Faster Recovery Period
Liposuction requires at least an overnight stay in hospital. After this it can take weeks for the body to adapt to the operation. During that period there’s be pain and you’d commonly 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 likely be recommended in some cases.
