Smartlipo™ = Smart Recovery

Smartlipo™ is so revolutionary that the procedure actually helps you recover faster. Because powerful laser technology is incorporated into the liposuction device, Smartlipo™ is minimally invasive which means recovery is minimally difficult.

One of the most challenging aspects of conventional liposuction recovery is getting over the anesthesia. With Smartlipo™, local anesthesia at the procedure site is all that is necessary. Smartlipo™ has none of the risks or recovery issues associated with general anesthesia.

There is also less swelling and bruising with Smartlipo™ because the laser causes blood vessels to congeal which immediately stops bleeding from the smaller vessels. With less bleeding and bruising, there is less swelling. Nevertheless, you will need to wear a compression garment for up to two weeks after surgery to reduce the possibility of swelling and to help ensure a sculpted Smartlipo™ result.

Most patients describe mild to moderate muscle ache at the procedure site. Many describe the feeling as the same soreness after completing an intense workout. You will be able to return home the same day as your procedure, but you will need someone to drive you. You should be up on your feet the day following your Smartlipo™ procedure, but strenuous physical activity should be avoided for 7 to 10 days. Our surgeons highly recommend walking at a mild to moderate pace for the first few days after your procedure.
