SmartLipo Liposuction - No General Anesthesia

Traditional liposuction necessitates the use of general anesthesia as it involves large incisions and sutures. However, with the coming of SmartLipo liposuction, no general anesthesia is required. This is because local anesthesia acts as the substitute for the minimally invasive procedure which, under normal treatment conditions, should be completed in less than an hour with the small incisions healing naturally. 

SmartLipo is preferred by many owing to a number of reasons. The device makes use of advanced form of technology, namely laser, to melt obstinate fat for extraction. This is done by making small 1.0mm incisions on the treatment region which allows the probe to be introduced directly onto the fat prone region. Once the fat is melted, it is immediately suctioned out of the body. Patients remain awake during the procedure and feel no pain or discomfort.

Coagulation of blood vessels prevents excessive bleeding. This takes place simultaneously as the skin is tightened to give a smooth and firm contoured look. Patient doesn’t incur any scars; the swelling subsides in a matter of days. Unlike traditional liposuction which involved considerable downtime, SmartLipo allows patients to resume work in two or three days’ time. Best of all, there are no scars and body contouring results are permanent. Apart from recommending the procedure to others, the effectiveness has persuaded patients to get other regions of the body treated as well.

The fear of incurring trauma and side effects has been removed by not using general anesthesia for SmartLipo liposuction. On the contrary, it is the safest procedure available and FDA’s approval justifies it all the more. Countless numbers of patients have undergone the procedure and are very pleased with the results. By the looks of the various advantages offered by SmartLipo, the procedure could very well establish itself as one of the best in cosmetic surgery.
