How is SmartLipo different from other liposuction surgeries?

SmartLipoâ„¢ differs in that it uses a laser to liquefy fat before removing it. No other liposuction procedures use a laser. The laser creates other differences:

The patient, unlike before, remains awake during the procedure and can stand up periodically to help the plastic surgeon view his work. A single session would be sufficient to attain the desired results and a touchup is not usually needed. (more…)
