Nothing gives away your age faster than fat deposits and loose skin at the jaw line, under the chin and along the neck. Exercise and diet don’t help. SmartLipo is perfectly suited to treat delicate skin on the neck. With SmartLipo, the fat cells are permanently destroyed so the results are long lasting. It tightens the skin through coagulation as it slims. Compared to a traditional surgical facelift, SmartLipo:
- Minimally invasive alternative to a surgical neck lift
- General anesthetic is not required
- Minimal downtime
Common Areas
Chin/Neck/Jowls
Arms
Fat deposits, particularly around the arms, are resistant to diet and exercise. The skin tightening produced with the laser used in conjunction with liposuction to remove the fat, allows MyShape Lipo to produce superior results.
Male Chest
Men will see noticeable and immediate results. The added benefit for the male patient is that laser liposuction or smart liposuction techniques actually tighten the skin, which often helps with the sagging skin associated with enlarged male breast. In addition, the laser is helpful in breaking up the tough glandular tissue associated with gynecomastia.
Female Breast
Women that have very large breasts normally have stretched skin due to gravity. So when we reduce the size of the breasts with liposuction, the laser is often helpful to tighten the skin and stimulate collagen to give a “lift” to your breasts.
Back Bra Roll
This area is generally very “fibrous” in most men and women. This results in very tough tissue and difficulty removing the fat, which often leads to less of a reduction. If the back bra roll area is important to you to get the best chance at the biggest reduction, then the addition of the laser to your liposuction is your best bet.
Abdomen
The abdomen area is commonly stretched out in women from the childbirth process. Traditionally these women would look to have a tummy tuck, but that is a much more dangerous, traumatic surgery as well as the resulting very large scar from hip to hip. The use of the Smart Lipo Laser can help tighten your skin and the liposuction of the fat in the area can reduce the volume to give you a flatter belly without the need of a tummy tuck.
Inner Thighs
The inner thighs is an area that normally has very thin skin. Occasionally when you do liposuction in this area, the skin does not bounce back as much as we’d like and it leads to a wrinkling effect that is less appealing. To help avoid this, the use of the laser can tighten the skin to reduce your risk after your liposuction.
Outer Thighs
The outer thighs is commonly an area that women have cellulite. The use of the laser in this area can reduce the appearance of cellulite and help give you a smoother result after liposuction.
Buffalo Hump
The buffalo hump is the bump on back of your neck that makes you look like you’re hunched over. The fat in this area is commonly very tough and fibrous, which make is more difficult to remove and results in less of a reduction. When you use the laser in this area, it helps to break up the tough tissue and makes it easier to remove a larger volume for more dramatic results.
