High technology offers advantages

We currently perform SmartLipo, Vaser Lipo and Tumcescent Lipo, none of which require general anesthesia. As you see from reading some of the responses if someone does not have the technology they will call it a gimmick and others tell you to see specialists such as themselves for procedures because they are better. Biased physicians who do not answer your questions should be avoided.

SmartLipo and now about six other brands of Lipolysis lasers do have advantages in doing small fat deposits, minor touch ups and revisions. Usually, when done, you are getting a small dose of conventional lipo as well. Vaser also adds ease and quicker recovery to the procedure. If you are interested in minimally invasive techniques for quick recovery do seek out a lipo doc who embraces advanced technology.

Any doctor can legally do any procedure in his or her office. Hospitals will generally limit privleges to procedures that the doctor has been trained to do. Only Plastic surgeons have adequate training to assess and treat all areas. They are also more able to treat any complications adequately.

If in doubt ask if the doctor can do liposuction in a hospital.
