If you’re looking for an effective method of reducing unwanted fat with little or no down time Smartlipo may be a procedure you want to consider. Not only is it effective in removing fat it is also good at tightening skin.

SmartLipo requires only a local anesthetic for this procedure, whereas liposuction requires general anesthesia. Because the patient is awake, SmartLipo carries fewer risks to the patient compared to traditional liposuction, and the recovery time is much shorter.

Smartlipo is performed by instilling local anesthesia into the fatty areas to be treated. This fluid anesthetizes the area. The procedure is performed with the patient awake. There is minimal discomfort during to procedure and most patients are able to carry on a conversation or even use their cell phones during the procedure.

Dr Rosengarten uses the SmartLipo laser machine to liquefy fatty deposits under the skin. These broken down fat cells are then removed through tiny incisions in the skin. The small laser also seals blood vessels as it zaps fat, so there is less swelling, bleeding and bruising compared to traditional liposuction. As an added benefit the laser heats the skin, which helps to tighten it.

Many people can return to work and normal activities within a few days.
