You have worked hard to eat right and exercise, but you still cannot lose those
"unsightly fat deposits. Human fat can be very hard to eliminate simply through
exercise and diet. However, SmartLipo™ can be a relatively simple solution to
remove stubborn fat permanently.
You would like to eliminate the appearance of loose skin. Skin
treated with traditional liposuction does not adjust to the reduction of fat
deposits, resulting in unattractive "droops." Patients often require skin lifts
that can lead to scars, rendering the initial liposuction treatment useless. But
by pulling the surrounding skin inward, SmartLipo™ laser technology can
reconstruct the layers immediately under the patient's skin, completely
eliminating skin drooping.
You are seeking permanent results. Once the fat is removed from a
particular area of the body, it will never return. If you gain fat in the
future, it will be deposited elsewhere on the body.
You are seeking an FDA-approved treatment. Approved in November
2006, SmartLipo™ is one of the fastest-growing and safest procedures in the
cosmetic surgery field today.
You do not want to undergo an elective procedure and the risks of
general anesthesia. SmartLipo™ patients need only a local anesthetic for this
procedure. Because the patient is not completely unconscious, SmartLipo™ carries
fewer risks than traditional liposuction. Plus, the recovery time is much
shorter.
You are seeking a liposuction treatment with a swift recovery time.
SmartLipo™ patients are typically back to work within 1-2 days following the
procedure.
You want something more affordable than traditional liposuction. The
cost of the SmartLipo™ procedure depends on how many areas are being treated.
To be a good candidate for SmartLipo™, you should maintain realistic
expectations about the procedure's capabilities. And, while SmartLipo™ can
improve your appearance and self-confidence, it cannot necessarily match your
mental ideal. Before you decide to have SmartLipo™, think carefully about your
expectations and discuss them during your complimentary consultation visit. Dr.
Wertheim and his staff will review the benefits and risks of SmartLipo™ during
your consultation visit. We will assess whether you are a good candidate with
respect to your medical health, and clarify what SmartLipo™ could do for you.

Precise and safe, today's medical-grade lasers work by creating a powerful light
beam that is adjusted to a specific frequency range. SmartLipo™ uses a carefully
calibrated laser to liquefy fat deposits just below the patient's skin. The
laser actually ruptures fat cells, and the resulting oily, liquid substance is
then removed through a tiny puncture in the skin by the physician. The small
laser will also seal blood vessels as it zaps fat, which produces less swelling,
bleeding, and bruising than with traditional liposuction. Research has shown
that little, if any, fat is reabsorbed back into the body. The minimal
invasiveness of the procedure allows patients to see faster results and
experience fewer complications |
