Smartlipo™ Laserlipolysis

Liposuction is the most popular cosmetic surgical procedure performed today. If popularity is an accurate gauge of satisfaction, how can cosmetic surgery possibly improve? It's simple: popularity doesn't mean perfection.

New Image Cosmetic Surgery of San Diego is proud to introduce SmartLipo laserlipolysis - the latest advancement in the evolution of liposuction.

SmartLipo laserlipolysis (laser-assisted liposuction) has been featured in People magazine ("Has Fat Met Its Match?"), and on Good Morning America, the Today Show, and Access Hollywood.

Dr. Schafer was selected by Cynosure, the company that manufactures SmartLipo, to perform the first SmartLipo procedure in the state of California. New Image Cosmetic Surgery is now a training center specializing in the SmartLipo technique.

SmartLipo Laserlipolysis

SmartLipo laserlipolysis is a minimally invasive procedure, using a laser to quickly remove unwanted fat (from face, neck, back, thighs, arms, etc.). Dr. Schafer uses Cynosure SmartLipo technology along with the newly released MPX™ system.

Utilizing a local anesthetic rather than a general, Dr. Schafer achieves results the first time; 10% of patients undergoing traditional lipo require post-surgical touchups to get satisfactory results.

The Low Down on SmartLipo MPX Laserlipolysis: Less Is More

Compared to traditional liposuction, one 60-minute session of SmartLipo laserlipolysis results in less bleeding, bruising, swelling, and discomfort. Smaller incisions give better results since they heal more quickly. And, because the laser utilized by our SmartLipo MPX system actually stimulates collagen production, tighter skin can also be seen.

There's even more to like about SmartLipo laser liposuction:

LASERLIPOLYSIS TRADITIONAL LIPO
  • Local anesthesia
  • Cannula (tube) with laser liquefies fat
  • Tighter skin from collagen production
  • Little or no scarring
  • No stitches
  • Downtime - approx. 2 days
  • 2 weeks of compression garment
  • General anesthesia
  • Tube with vacuum sucks out fat
  • Sagging skin can require additional surgery, such as face or neck lift
  • Scarring
  • Stitches
  • Downtime - approx. 7 days
  • 6 weeks of compression garment
  • 10% rate of complications

Anyone contemplating cosmetic surgery should have reasonable expectations. Traditional and SmartLipo procedures are for sculpting and contouring. They neither remove large quantities of fat nor are they for everyone.
