Trends in Smart Lipo

By Art Gib

In today's world of modern medicine the procedure known as liposuction has become common place. But it hasn't always been that way. In fact the traditional methods of liposuction, or body contouring and the removal of excess body fat date back to as early as the 1920's.

As more people get liposuction, it is losing the stigma that was associated with it at one time. There was a time when people were embarrassed if they got the surgery. Now, friends talk about it over lunch.

Following the presentation and several medical journal articles the procedure found its way to the United States where several physicians experimented with the procedure. It was from these experiments that several variations emerged.

The wet technique was introduced and it made the surgery much safer. It cut down on the amount of bleeding, and also made the recovery time much shorter. Basically, the cannula no longer attacked dry areas of fat. Instead, a saline solution was applied to the fat in order to moisturize the fat and make it safer to remove. It allowed the process to go much smoother than it had in the past.

Also, anesthesia practices changed. At one time, people had to be put to sleep when having liposuction done. Now, they can receive local anesthesia, which is much safer. There are fewer complications due to anesthesia when local is used.

The result of 30 years of advancement in the field of liposuction has meant that more fatty material can now be removed while reducing blood loss, discomfort, and risk for the average patient. In fact, one of the more significant outcomes for this procedure is what has become known as autologous fat transfer, or the reintroduction of removed body fat into other areas of the body where body contouring is wanted.

Great strides have been made around this procedure. In fact, with the introduction of Smart Lipo what can be best described as a revolution in how traditional liposuction is done today. Smart Lipo shares some similarities with the more traditional liposuction procedures, but the cannula used is much narrower, allowing for smaller incisions and less scaring. This cannula contains laser inside it which emits energy into the targeted fat cells thus breaking them down. Without their cell walls to separate them, the fat takes on a liquid consistency, being easily suctioned from the body.

One more significant advantage to Smart Lipo over traditional liposuction is that the energy emitted from the laser also heats up the layers of surrounding skin, which then produces a firming and tightening of the area. - 17269
