I am considering smart lipo in a couple of months, however, I am terrified !! I've been reading some reviews online and I ran into this horrific review about lumps and bumps not going away and turning out to be scar'd tissue. How safe is smart lipo ?
Answer: You need a tummy tuck all the way. Lipo will do nothing for your belly. The bulging belly that you see is the product of loose abdominal muscles stretched apart in the center from top to bottom. The small amount of fat that sits on top of these muscles adds a little thickness to the potbelly, but the same exact shape lies underneath. A tummy tuck will address all of your issues and some lipo can be done at the same time to add definition to your waistline and the lateral borders of the tummy.

Answer: Smart lipo thanks for the question, all procedures have risks benefits and alternatives and liposuction always has chances of lumps bumps and irregularities, however, these can be reduced by technique and through experience of the surgeon

Answer: Safety of Smartlipo I believe that Smartlipo Triplex is the safest laser liposuction device on the market. The temperature sensor is at the tip of the canula and measures the teperature right where it counts. It actiually shuts off the laser if the temperature ogoes too high. Lumpiness and irregularities are technique depended and can happen. Looser skin like yours makes this a little more likely. Please find an experienced surgeon. Yours. Dr R.

Answer: Is SmartLipo safe? The first thing to realize is that SmartLipo is a minimally invasive surgical procedure and while having an excellent safety profile and satisfaction rate, has certain risks and benefits. It is very important that the surgeon has the appropriate credentials, performs the surgery in an accredited operating room and does a large number of these operations (look for Centers of Excellence where the doctors train other doctors). Also, this may be done under local anesthesia without the need for general anesthesia and the associated risks, costs, and longer recovery period. That being said, SmartLipo involves liposuction in order to permanently remove fat and the outcome is highly dependent on the surgeon. For example, lumps and contour deformities can occur anytime fat is suctioned. The good news is that the laser helps to emulsify or liquefy the fat, making its removal more easily done. Smaller cannulas can then be used to perform the lipo portion and that gives the surgeon greater accuracy. Finally, make sure that your desires are matched by the doc so that there is a realistic expectation. Good luck

Answer: Safety of Smart Lipo Thanks for your question. Smart Lipo is a safe procedure when an experienced surgeon performs it. Scarring is a risk with this technique, as well as traditional liposuction. I have had wonderful outcomes with technique when used in the proper setting. Best wishes.
