Smartlipo

This revolutionary technique for body contouring works by “melting the fat”. Using a tiny laser, it’s an easier and more gentle process to remove and sculpt away fatty deposits. This often allows for a simple office procedure instead of traditional liposuction in the operating room.

 

The Consultation

You will have a private, in-depth consultation with Dr. Back where he will review with you everything you want and need to know. After an examination, together you will discuss your goals and his recommendations. All the details of the procedure will be reviewed and you will also have ample time for questions. Typical “before & after” photos as examples are on hand as a part of this process.

 

The Procedure

Special tiny instruments and the Smartlipo laser can be used to reshape the neck/jowl area, the abdomen, the hips, the inner thighs, the arms…anywhere where you might have a stubborn zone of fat, it can be dissolved and suctioned away. Dr. Back will use a special local anesthetic mixture to numb the areas first in this sophisticated 1-2 hour office procedure.

 

The Recovery

Less bruising and less swelling than traditional liposuction is the rule. Only small nicks in the skin are needed for Smartlipo, which are hidden in the natural small creases and folds of the body. Laser liposuction usually heals quickly - compression garments are typically worn for only 1-2 weeks.
