Smartlipo - Is it a Weight Loss Surgery?

One of the most common questions among laymen is "Is Smartlipo a weight loss surgery?" The answer is 'NO', it is not. There is a misconception among few people that Smartlipo is a weight loss surgery. Smartlipo is a procedure by which localized fat can be removed from the body but it no where comes near weight loss. However it is one of the safest cosmetic surgeries made available till date for removal of fat from the body. You might have listen to horrifying stories of liposuction and the problems those patients has gone through during their recovery period, the bruising, bleeding, swelling, numbness and more problems.

Here comes the Smartlipo process to avoid such level of discomfort. I am not saying Smartlipo doesn't cause any discomfort while surgery or after surgery but the discomfort level is so low as compared to the liposuction.

Smartlipo is done by a cannula which is just about 1 mm to 2 mm in diameter. It contains a laser so the process is also called laser lipo. This cannula is inserted into the fat removal region and the laser energy breaks down the unwanted fat present in that area. This unwanted fat is drained out. During the procedure there is much lesser amount of discomfort and the patient remains awake. It is done under local anesthesia so it is much safer.

It can be done at any region of the body, most commonly practiced around love handles, abdomen and outer thighs. The recovery period is also too short and the patient may resume the normal day activity within 3 days from the day of surgery.

So looking at the advantages you can undergo this surgery if you want to remove localized areas of fat. But do remember it is never a weight loss surgery. However the fat once removed from the surgery region will never come back but if you don't maintain a healthy life style and if you gain weight then you may develop fat at other parts of the body where surgery is not performed.
