Question

Is TriSculpt Micro-Laser Lipo the same as Smart Lipo?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

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, which can be performed at the same time as a tummy tuck, if there is skin laxity. I use VASER HI-DEF with ThermiRF, Renuvion (J Plasma), InMode BodyTite, 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

Sono Bello markets the TriSculpt "Process". A combo of "laser lipo + power assisted lipo + local anesthesia". Regular smart lipo is a combo of laser lipo + regular lipo + local anesthesia. Sono Bello is a chain of discount cosmetic surgery centers. Sort of like Chick-fil-A or McDonald's, but for cosmetic surgery. If Smart Lipo were the Big Mac, TriSculpt would be the Big Mac Happy Meal. Same thing with extra stuff that you don't really need. The extra stuff is power assisted lipo. Power assisted lipo is simply regular lipo done with a motorized handle to make the surgeon's job easier. Results are the same.

The real answer is… Nothing much. Both are branded names for what essentially is laser assisted liposuction. Smart Lipo is the brand name for One of the laser devices that is used.  The Trisculpt Micro LaserLipo is the branded procedure name used by a body contouring company called Sonobello, but basically they are also using the same Smartlipo laser machines that are made by Cynosure  essentially these names are just marketing gimmick’s to make them stand out. Laser assisted liposuction, no matter what it is called, essentially uses a laser to generate heat under the skin that both melts the fat and helps produce collagen that can tight in the overlying skin to a degree.  most plastic surgeons who perform the procedure also combined a power assisted liposuction to help break up the fat and generate a more even, smoother contour before sucking the fat out.  The different names can often be confusing because they sound like different procedures. What truly is important is not the devices or the name but the surgeon who is going to give you a proper assessment and can recommend a variety of options and tailor  the correct one for you.  I strongly recommend that one does not shop for a specific procedure but instead should be seeking a specific result or outcome and find the right surgeon that can get this for you.

They are all the same. The use laser lipolysis devices. In my opinion, it is more important to have the right surgeon. I have used almost al the devices out there, and it is the surgeon not the machine that gets that good result.   See you NYC!

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

Tri sculpt laser is the same thing as the Smart Lipo or laser liposuction. it's not the machine or the device that creates the results but the hands of a plastic surgeon who knows how to use them. Make sure you do your research before attempting any kind of a surgical procedure. A well performed procedure the first time is less expensive than having to revise it. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City
