Frequently Asked Questions
Because the SmartLipo™ cannula (microfilament) is so small, more areas of the body can be targeted than with traditional liposuction. Areas that SmartLipo™ can target include:
- Face and neck
- Back
- Bra strap area
- Buttocks
- Chin
- Cheeks
- Knees
- Thighs
- Upper arms
Ideal candidates for the SmartLipo™ procedure are in good health, within ten to fifteen pounds of their ideal body weight, have fatty areas that haven’t responded to diet and exercise, and are realistic with their expectations. Through the advances in liposuction procedures made with SmartLipo™, patients now have control over attaining their ideal look.
No. Once the fat is removed from those areas, it will not return. You may still continue to gain and lose weight in those areas, but you will maintain the contour the plastic surgeon has established for you. Another myth is that the fat will come back in other areas. Your South Bend surgeon will go over these concerns with you in detail at your liposuction consultation.
You will most likely feel sore and bruised for a few days. Medication will be prescribed to help control the discomfort, although liposuction is generally well tolerated. Sutures will be removed approximately one week following surgery. You may resume normal activities within one week and strenuous activities within 3-4 weeks following surgery.
With SmartLipo, your recovery begins as soon as your procedure is complete. You will be given a compressive garment to control swelling and bruising. Your plastic surgeon will discuss with your specific recovery instructions to ensure the best possible results.
