Please, someone from the Atlanta, GA area tell me if you DO NOT use a catheter for Smartlipo procedure. Is it absolutely necessary? I don't have that much fat to remove from my abdomen. I'm 119 lbs, in excellent health and shape. Thanks so much.

Answer: SmartLipo will always involve cannula SmartLipo is, by definition, laser-assisted liposuction. It uses a laser fiber which is inserted into the fat layers of the skin to “melt” the fat in the area, making it easier for the actual cannula removal of the liquid fat. On occasion, some will not do the second part – the actual removal of the fat – but all laser lipo devices have a cannula which is the laser fiber. There are other devices out there where people claim lipo this or that which has nothing to do with actual liposuction or laser liposuction and although some get results, they are not the same as when lipo or laser lipo is performed. Please consult with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon and learn all the facts and have the right procedure for you based on what is needed and what will work best for you.

Answer: Liposuction and catheter If you mean bladder catheter, then I would say I almost never use one during surgery that is ambulatory. Be more specific if you mean something else.
