      SmartLipo - FAQ

      Updated May 13, 2019

      How does the SmartLipo work?

      The surgery is performed through one small incision, made on the body part that will undergo the surgery. Special tube (cannula) is inserted into the incision and a laser beam breaks apart fat cells. Thanks to using different lengths of laser, the SmartLipo offers less bleeding, bruising and swelling! After the laser treatment, the liquid fat is drained away from the desired area. This small incision will heal very fast and leave almost an invisible scar.
