Laser liposuction, known as Smart Lipo, is already in use in Italy, Australia and the Far East and will soon be available at British cosmetic surgery clinics. Smart Lipo is literally a 'walk in, walk out' liposuction treatment and appeals to people wanting a quicker option than traditional liposuction, which may involve a general anaesthetic and overnight stay. The new development comes after clinics are already offering 'lunch break' breast enlargements, minor facelifts and Botox injections. The procedure, which in the United Kingdom will cost between around £1,000 and £2,500 depending on the size of the area treated, can be used to dissolve cellulite on hips, thighs and bottoms. Smart Lipo, which takes place under local anaesthetic, also claims to be able to smooth away double chins, love handles and flabby upper arms or 'batwings'. The firm marketing the equipment in the UK claims that the technique has already been used safely on thousands of men and women around the world.
However, some experts are questioning the effectiveness of the procedure and they are warning that no type of cosmetic surgery is without some risk. There are also worries that speeding up the surgery into so-called "lunch break lipo" could trivialise cosmetic surgery. The problem, they say, is that patients may rush into surgery without fully understanding the risks. Only last year an alternative fat-dissolving procedure, known as Lipostabil, was banned by the medicines' watchdog, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency. These injections, known as "flab jabs" will no longer be used, pending further research into their safety.
Smart Lipo uses a tiny laser to break up the membrane of fat cells. This allows the oil stored inside the cells to seep out and be broken down by the liver. Collagen production is stimulated, causing the skin to tighten and bruising is minimal. This is in contrast to conventional liposuction, which uses a hollow needle to suction fat out of the body. Whilst a local anaesthetic can be used for small areas, treatment of larger areas such as the hips and thighs usually requires a general anaesthetic and an overnight stay.
It is considered that Smart Lipo will mostly appeal to people who want small amounts of fat to be removed, but do not necessarily want to go into hospital or undergo a major procedure involving general anaesthesia and an overnight stay. The best results will be for those people of normal or just above normal weight, who have localised stubborn fatty areas. It is clear that those who want large areas of fat removed are unlikely to get the results they need during a lunch break treatment.
The number of patients undergoing liposuction surgery is steadily rising, mainly due to the safer and less painful alternative techniques on offer. Although, as with every surgical procedure, there will always be at least a slight element of risk, it can be said that everything we do in life involves a risk, such as going out of the house in the mornings, walking across a busy road or driving along the motorway. So, if there is an option for not being the way you are and you are not happy with something about your body, then there is a case for going ahead and making yourself happier and more confident.
