Press Release Summary: If you are thinking of having Smart Lipo… don’t bother! Firstly, you should be considering having one of the next generations of Smart Lipo procedures: Advanced Smart Lipo. Advance Laser Lipo or Xtra Performance Lipo Laser.
Press Release Body: These new procedures use lasers which deliver higher energies melting the body’s fat, followed by gentle aspiration of the liquefied fat. They are performed in quicker time and have all the advantages that the original Smart Lipo procedure had over traditional liposuction. However the debate is not over… these procedures are only good for removal of smaller areas of fat, the size of a man’s fist, 500mls to be precise. The ideal patient should be slim and toned with localized areas of stubborn fat, with a Body Mass Index of roughly 25. A large number of people normally do not fall in this patient selection criteria for the original Smart Lipo procedure, but still somehow ended up having the treatment…. Inevitably with poor results you just have to google: “Smart Lipo forums” to read the pain, anger, agony and disappointment experienced by them. Sadly with the obesity epidemic in the U.K these people wanting lunch time lipo procedures and meeting the selection criteria are far and few between. However, there is now hope, the Vaser Lipo has arrived in the U.K from the U.S.A. This technology is again performed under local anesthetic, uses ultrasound energy to emulsify and breakdown the fat followed by gentle aspiration of the liquefied fat. The Vaser Lipo procedure can remove small to large volumes of fat. It is generally accepted that under local anaesthetic and day case surgery no more than 2 litres of fat can be removed, this is well within, Vaser Lipo’s capability. Leading clinics are already starting to offer this procedure and it is set to become the gold standard in walk-in walk-out liposuction allowing us to remove larger volumes of fat compared with other technologies and treatments whilst giving us the ability to enhance and reshape your curves.
