Making The Decision: Is Liposuction a Better Choice than SmartLipo?

By William Patel

Liposuction has long been one of the most effective ways of drastic fat reduction. But more and more people recently have started opting for the quicker and relatively hassle-free Smart Lipo procedure in place of liposuction. Before you decide on one of the two procedures, it is important to understand the differences between the two and their applicability to different cases.

Liposuction removes fat by breaking down the adipose tissue through a back and forth movement of a long hollow tube, and sucking out the dissolved fat through small incisions made in the area under treatment. The cuts made in this treatment are larger than those created in Smart Lipo, and hence this method is preferred for those who need to remove fat from bigger body areas. In liposuction, general anaesthesia is administered and a days stay at the clinic is generally needed.

In Smart Lipo, laser is used instead of a tube to break down the fat in the affected body part. Non scalpel techniques are increasing being used in place of surgery. This is far more efficient, since the imprecision of human movement inevitably leads to bleeding and bruising of the area. Small areas from which fat needs to be removed, for instance, the chin, are ideal candidates for Smart Lipo, which only requires small incisions and guarantees quicker healing. After the conclusion of the Smart Lipo treatment, in which local anaesthesia is used, the patient can go home in about thirty minutes to an hour.

Liposuction and Smart Lipo both require a patient to be free from health problems such as diabetes, blood related diseases, skin problems and liver and heart malfunction. In any case, you must opt for these treatments only after a doctors approval.

Negligence in maintaining the new fat free body should not creep in after undergoing these treatments. You should work on your fitness by taking a healthier diet and engaging in regular physical activity; otherwise, you may soon find yourself in your pre-treatment shape. - 30516
