Smart Lipo Is OK, but not the answer for everything.

Hello,

I have done a few hundred Smart Lipo procedures for a local medical group over the last year. It is a little better in some patients than regular tumescent lipo, but a lot of the attraction is hype and not borne out by results. Any doctor can perform Smart Lipo and it is pretty easy, but it does not produce tummy tuck-like results. Skin tighening is really not so great particularly in older patients. Just be careful of the B.S and hype. 

Best Regards,

There are many physicians out there who offer this procedure and many other cosmetic procedures that are done.  You have to be very cautious and do your investigation.

To become a plastic surgeon many of us endure many years of surgical training.  In my case it was 5 years of General Surgery, and then 2 years of Plastic Surgery.  Surgical training is very intense and builds and develops the manual dexterity as well good sound surgical judgement.  Board certification basically solidifies these things.

There are physicians out there that feel a weekend course or a video presention is all that is needed to perform these procedures, including Smart Lipo.

Smart Lipo is simply traditional liposuction with a twist and strong marketing scheme to attract the patients.  So don't be sold on the hype, I don't offer Smart Lipo by choice, because it really does not add much to the surgical tools that are out there.

Just my $0.02

Hope that helps.
