Does SmartLipo Cause Cancer?

Question

Does anyone know if SmartLipo causes cancer?

David Shafer, MD, FACS · Answer

There are no studies linking Smartlipo with cancer.  Likewise, there are no studies linking any type of liposuction with cancer.

Payman Simoni, MD (in memoriam) · Answer

Up to this date there is no evidence that Smart Lipo* causes cancer.
How ever there are some evidences that some drugs use in mesotherapy** could cause cancer. Meotherapy is not an FDA approved procedure.
*Smart Lipo : The procedure works by inserting a small cannula (tube) containing a laser fiber under the skin. The cannula is moved back and forth, delivering the laser&rsquo;s energy directly to the fat cells, causing them to rupture and drain away. The laser energy may result in some skin shrinkage.
**Lipodissolve, LipoZap, Fatdissolve, Mesotherapy, Mesosculpturing, Lipotherapy, Lipostabil, Flab Jab : All these terms refer to the same procedure, which uses Phosphatidylcholine based injections to dissolve the fat.
