Choosing between Smart Lipo and Smart Lipo with Aspiration

Liposuction, or fat removal, continues to be one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures across the world. For women in particular, liposuction can provide significant relief from those stubborn areas of fat that simply refuse to be eliminated through conventional methods of exercise and dieting. And as the number of people seeking liposuction continues to soar, developments in the sector have rapidly enhanced the variety of fat removal procedures available to cosmetic surgery patients.

For many surgeons and cosmetic clinicians, Smart Lipo (or laser lipolysis) is now becoming one of the most sought after treatments in the field. Unlike traditional liposuction, this is a non-invasive procedure through which fat cells are melted using laser technology rather than sucked out through a tube. However, further developments mean that patients can now choose between standard Smart Lipo treatments and Smart Lipo with Aspiration - a choice that is worth considering carefully before making a decision.

This difference between them is slight but significant. Essentially, the Smart Lipo process begins by injecting local anaesthesia into the area that is to be treated, in order to minimise any pain that may be caused by the procedure. Next, a powerful laser is used to melt the fat cells in the required bodily region, which breaks them down into liquid. Under a regular procedure, the liquefied fat will naturally seep out of the body for up to six months after the treatment.

However, with Smart Lipo with Aspiration patients will have the fat sucked out - or 'aspirated' - in order to speed up the effectiveness of the non-invasive surgery. This procedure is the preferred choice for many patients as it accelerates the rate at which the melted fat is secreted from the body and the results are immediate. As a result, this procedure is ideal for patients who want to see quick effects - for example, if you're a bride hoping to show off your new figure at your wedding and a long recovery period is simply not feasible.

What's more, Smart Lipo holds added appeal over liposuction for many people since it treats many areas that conventional fat removal methods cannot, such as the chin and neck. These areas of the body tend to be exposed nearly all the time, so speeding up the process with Aspiration is sure to deliver more satisfying results.

Similarly, if you're about to go on a beach holiday and you want to get rid of any excess fat around your abdomen quickly, Smart Lipo with Aspiration is the natural choice for immediate results. This procedure poses obvious benefits over standalone Smart Lipo procedures.

However - as with any cosmetic surgery or treatment - it's important to consult your surgeon on the risks and benefits before going ahead. After all, some side effects may still occur and it's best to be aware of these prior to making your final decision if you're going to get the maximum satisfaction from your fat removal treatment.
