Vaser Lipo FAQ

See short Video below

People come in all different shapes and sizes. Every body type has areas that are predisposed to fat storage and, even with rigorous diet and exercise, those unwanted bulges often persist. Vaser and Smart Liposuction technology and the advanced Vaser Lipo technique now offer safe alternatives for ridding yourself of those stubborn fat deposits. Smart Lipo and Vaser Lipo are both in-office procedures.

What is Vaser LipoSelect? Is it different than traditional liposuction?

Vaser Lipo is a minimally invasive procedure that precisely and efficiently removes unwanted body fat. An alternative to the harsh techniques of traditional liposuction, Vaser Lipo uses state-of-the-art ultrasound technology designed to gently reshape your body. What distinguishes the Vaser Lipo procedure is its ability to differentiate targeted fat from other important tissues – such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. Innovative Vaser technology breaks up fat while conserving these other important tissues. Only the Vaser Lipo procedure uses the proprietary Vaser System to first liquefy fat and then remove it from the body to promote smooth results and rapid healing with only low to minimal pain.

What happens during Vaser Lipo?

First, the area to be reshaped is filled with a special saline solution that helps numb the site and shrink the blood vessels (to minimize blood loss and reduce bruising). This solution wets and fills the area to be treated, making it easier to break up fatty tissue with the Vaser Lipo System’s ultrasound energy. Then a small probe transmits sound energy (similar to that used for cataract removal from the eye) to fragment fatty tissue on contact while leaving other important tissues largely intact. Finally, the liquefied fat is removed through a gentle suction process designed to minimize damage to surrounding tissues.

Is Vaser Lipo right for me?

If you are frustrated by the resistance of certain body areas to diet and exercise, Vaser Lipo can provide a solution. If you are healthy and seeking a fast, low-pain solution for losing stubborn fat deposits, the Lipo procedure could be your answer. Patients who say they would have never considered liposuction are now finding the Vaser Lipo procedure is a minimally invasive option for the achievement of their body reshaping goals. Although there are limits to the amount of fat that can be removed, Dr. DiLauro can assist you with your decision about potential areas for contouring, anticipated results, and the recovery process.

Smartlipo FAQ

You've tried dieting. You've tried exercise. But parts of your body have simply refused to tone up. With Smartlipo Laser Body Sculpting, you can change all that. This revolutionary treatment literally melts away fat in trouble spots like your abdomen, thighs, arms and neck. The results last longer than dieting or exercise and since the treatment is minimally invasive, you’ll be in the doctor’s office one day — and out turning heads the next.

How long does the SmartLipo procedure take?

The SmartLipo procedure takes an average of 2–3 hours per session.

How many SmartLipo treatments are required?

Most patients typically require only one treatment. SmartLipo can also be used for “touch-ups” and revisions to previously treated areas.

Does SmartLipo treat cellulite?

The SmartLipo procedure will improve the body's shape and may reduce cellulite to a certain degree.

What is the long-term outcome for most people?

Most patients can see results immediately following the SmartLipo procedure, and they can expect their skin to return to normal within three months.  However, as with traditional liposuction, you will need to practice patience since the full SmartLipo results may not be visible for up to a year. The more fat that was removed, the longer it will take to achieve maximum results, as your body needs to adapt to a more significant shape change.

Do I have to stay in the hospital?

No. SmartLipo is performed as an out-patient procedure. You won’t be required to stay in the hospital, since recovery from SmartLipo works best within the comfort of your home.

What if I've already had regular liposuction?

SmartLipo may be extremely effective for improving upon body areas that have been previously treated with traditional liposuction. With the SmartLipo procedure Dr. DiLauro can further sculpt or contour those areas on the body that have “droopy” skin, especially if you are a relatively thin, healthy person who wants additional toning and tightening.

Does the SmartLipo procedure hurt?

Since the SmartLipo procedure is performed under local anesthesia, there is very little pain or discomfort involved. You may feel a minor stinging sensation and an impression of tugging at your skin during the SmartLipo treatment, but these discomforts are minimal.
