Smart liposuction is seeking attention not just because it is approved by FDA but there are many more advantages of smartlipo when compared to traditional liposuction. The following are the major differences between smartlipo and traditional liposuction.

SMARTLIPO vs. LIPOSUCTION

The first and foremost factor which holds the edge for smartlipo over liposuction is the degree of safety.

Smartlipo surgery is done under tumescent anesthesia also called local anesthesia where as traditional liposuction is performed under general anesthesia. The drugs of general anesthesia carries a lot of risk with them and may cause respiratory problems besides causing allergy where as local anesthesia is much safer. Tumescent anesthesia consists of lidocaine and epinephrine.

Smartlipo surgery is done by a device called smartlipo or laser lipo which is manufactured by company called cynosure. Smartlipo is a minimally invasive procedure of unwanted fat removal.

HOW SMARTLIPO SURGERY IS PERFORMED?

Smartlipo doctor first marks the area where surgery has to be performed. Tumescent fluid which contains lidocaine and epinephrine is infused under the skin of the area where surgery has to be done. Once the local anesthesia is infused and gets administered in the fat the procedure is started.

The smartlipo cannula which is so tiny of about 1 mm to 2 mm in diameter is inserted just beneath the skin by small incisions of about 2 mm. The cannula contains a laser beam which produces a single wavelength of light which is specifically designed for the purpose of tightening skin and melting fat. As the laser which is present on the cannula passes under the skin it causes immediate contraction of the skin by heating the lower layers of the skin which leads to contraction of collagen under the skin.

Smartlipo surgeon after that will place the laser lipo under deeper layers of the fat and the surgeon moves the cannula all over the area where surgery has to be performed causing melting of fat. As the fat gets melted and liquefied it is drained out naturally from the incisions which the doctor makes for inserting the cannula. The sooner the fat gets drained out the sooner will be the recovery.
