Smart-lipo-laser is the most sophisticated procedure in body shaping and fat reduction. Since January 2008 we use the smartlipo laser liposuction on a regular basis. This treatment leads to the immediate destruction of fat cells with the special laser. The laser also closes blood vessels, so it reduces bleeding. Smartlipo laser influences also collagen fibers in the skin. They shrink under the laser light. So it improves the tension of the skin and reduces risk of hanging loose skin. The procedure is performed under tumescent local anaesthesia. The laser light irreversibly damages fat cells releasing liquid. This liquid collects in the intercellular space and leaves the area through lymph nodes. Alternatively, we can suck out the liquid with the liposuction cannulae to achieve a better and quicker result. Swellings after the treatment are normal and disappear after a few days. A final result is to be expected after 3 months.
Anesthesia: We perform laser liposuction in tumescent-local-anesthesia.
Surgical Time course and Recovery:
The procedure is a 4 hours long outpatient treatment. You need 1 week vacation for recovery.
Limitations: We recommend reduced physical activity up to 3-6 weeks after the surgery (for example no gym).
Special risks of liposuctions are: asymmetry, uneven skin, keloids, bruises and others. These risks are to be discussed by a clearing consultation before the surgery.
Clearing Up and Examinations:
During the consultation before the surgery, your doctor describes the procedure and what results can realistically be expected. At least one week before the surgery a physical examination, blood work and ECG are to be conducted. Further information see on Important Notes before Liposuction.
Follow-up check: Check-ups are performed on the 1st and the 7th day after the surgery. Also check-ups one, three and six months after the surgery are beneficial.
For further details see our Important Notes after Liposuction.
Important: Please avoid sauna, tanning bed and sun exposure for 4-6 weeks after the surgery.
Most Common Body Areas for Liposuction:
The most popular body areas for liposuction are the stomach and sides, inner and outer thighs, hips, upper arms, chin and breast.
