Schedule a Consultation Today What areas can liposuction treat? SmartLipo is designed to remove localized areas of fat and can be used in the following areas: Waist Chin Thighs Hips Buttocks Arms Face Back of neck Pubic Mound This procedure is especially effective in reaching small, tricky areas that traditional liposuction often cannot treat. Am I a candidate for SmartLipo? SmartLipo is best designed for individuals who are in good overall health and close to their ideal weight. It may be used to remove stubborn areas of fat that do not respond to traditional diet and exercise. It is important to have realistic results before undergoing the SmartLipo procedure and to remember that it cannot be used as a means of drastic weight loss, but rather sculpts and smoothes the body. SmartLipo Procedure Before the SmartLipo procedure, Dr. Orseck will mark the targeted fatty areas and confirm each of them with you. Local anesthetic will be applied to each area in order to minimize discomfort. SmartLipo uses a 1064-nm Nd: YAG laser that is inserted in the skin through a tiny cannula (tube) and delivered directly to the targeted area. The laser energy simultaneously melts fat cells and coagulates skin tissue, removing stubborn fat and tightening the surrounding skin for slimmed, smoothed results. The melted fat can either be suctioned out or absorbed into the bloodstream. Dr. Orseck will be able to treat your targeted area(s) by viewing the laser through the skin to ensure accurate delivery. The laser energy also causes small blood vessels to coagulate as fat is melted, resulting in less bleeding and faster healing and recovery times. There is no need for stitches after the SmartLipo procedure because only a tiny incision is needed. SmartLipo Testimonial "At 48 years old and after having 2 kids, I had a bit of tummy that I just could not exercise away. So after a few people recommended seeing Dr. Orseck, I finally went in for a consult. I was surprised when he said I didn't need a tummy tuck just smart lipo and in the office not in the operating room. I went in and had the procedure on a Thursday and I was back at work on Monday. Three years later I still have a flat stomach and could not be happier. I became a regular patient and love seeing Heather Gail for chemical peels and she always has a smile on her face! Great office and great people!" - Venus O. Results of SmartLipo The results of SmartLipo are visible immediately after the procedure and will continue to improve for up to three months after. Along with removing localized fat, SmartLipo also tightens and smoothes the skin, leaving a slimmer and younger looking result. Traditional liposuction often leaves skin loose and sagging, leaving many patients seeking additional treatment. View The Before & After Gallery How long do results last? These results can be permanent as long as patients maintain their healthy weight through diet and exercise. Most patients are able to reach their desired results with just one SmartLipo treatment. However, if you decide to undergo further treatment, you can do so after four months. Contact Us Today To learn more on SmartLipo, please contact us at 864-560-6717 or email us using the form below.
