Large and small areas for Smart Lipo?

Question

I was just wondering what is considered to be a large or small areas for smartlipo ? For example is a large area the full abdominal region or just lower?

Thanks for asking this question. One of the advantages of SmartLipo is that it can treat both large areas of the body, like the full midsection, and smaller areas like the neck and chin. The classification of large and small areas varies somewhat from surgeon to surgeon. Typically, the full abdomen is considered a large treatment area, while the lower abdomen alone is small. Other large areas might include the upper and lower back and the full flank area. Smaller areas might be the bra fat around the upper back, inner thighs and calves. It is best to discuss this question directly with your board certified plastic surgeon prior to your procedure so you know what to expect in terms of how long your procedure will take and what the cost will be. Good luck to you in achieving your body contouring goals!

Hi! Thanks for asking this question. Smartlipo is great for small targeted areas, example: lower abdomen, love handles, inner thighs etc.. I consider the full abdomen to be a larger area to treat because of keeping the patient comfortable with a local anesthetic.

Large areas are either a big surface like a full abdomen or a full flanks and back or they are localized areas with a large volume of fat. What matters isn't what you call the areas, but how well the work reshapes your curves into a pleasing figure.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

The full abdomen is generally considered a large area. Keep in mind, Smart Lipo is good for stubborn areas of fat, but lacks body contouring and shaping. For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

In general, large areas include full abdomen. Smaller areas can include inner or outer thighs, back / bra rolls.We usually group regions as a package.An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon who performs these procedures is recommended to confirm you are a candidate as well as discuss your options and expectations.
