There are a number of liposuction methods and strategies, by consulting a Las Vegas Liposuction Surgeon, you can become educated and make the best choice for your body.

More than 4 million botox treatments last year alone demonstrate that the real growth is in minimally invasive procedures. Liposuction, one of the most popular surgical cosmetic procedures in the U.S., is the latest application to get a makeover.

SmartLipo laserlipolysis, also known as laser-assisted liposuction, just received approval by the Food and Drug Administration last November. This technology, pioneered in Brazil and Italy, literally sucks the suction right out of lipo by using lasers to melt fat away.

SmartLipo, developed by Cynosure, cannot totally replace traditional liposuction, but may be a promising alternative for many plastic surgery patients looking to remove small pockets of fat.

Dr. Richard A. D’Amico, president-elect of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, advises that, while promising, this is no panacea for that spare-tire on your midsection.

“This is not going to replace the bread and butter, day in and day out liposuction in plastic surgery,” D’Amico said. “Again because it’s only good for small areas, and the laser generates heat.”
