SMARTLIPO uses the latest advancements in laser and cosmetic surgery technology to provide a safer, quicker and more cost-effective method of liposuction. This is why Dr. Schlessinger, a board certified dermatologist and board certified general cosmetic surgeon chose to offer it at his state and medicare certified ambulatory surgical center.

The SmartLipo procedure is the first laser-assisted liposuction procedure and was approved by the FDA in November of 2006. Since this time it has quickly been labeled 'the' cutting edge procedure in cosmetic surgery and achieved highly positive ratings from patients and unbiased website reviews as on RealSelf.com Whereas only 47% of traditional liposuction patients on this website said it was worth it, a stunning 87% of SmartLipo patients said it was worth it. This is one of the many reasons that Dr. Schlessinger chose to be the first surgeon in Nebraska to offer this exciting technology.

According to SmartLipo’s manufacturer, Cynosure, the SmartLipo system has quickly become one of the most successful liposuction procedures in the cosmetic surgery field for its use of cutting-edge technology.

With SmartLipo, a thin wire-sized laser is inserted into a small incision made by Dr. Schlessinger. The laser is used to liquify the fat under the skin and tighten the skin. Then, Dr. Schlessinger follows this liquification using a small, sippy straw sized cannula to drain the fat away. Because the cannula is only about 1.0 mm, SmartLipo is a less invasive procedure, dramatically reducing the risk of bruising and promoting a quicker recovery. In addition, the cannula’s laser acts as a visual guide, helping Dr. Schlessinger make more precise movements than typical liposuction would allow.

Dr. Schlessinger invested in the most powerful SmartLipo laser, the 18W version, as the higher the wattage allows for a faster procedure. As the laser liquefies fat cells, the laser simultaneously coagulates small blood vessels, preventing bleeding and swelling.

Because the SmartLipo cannula is so small, SmartLipo can be performed on the stomach, love handles, legs, tights, saddle bags, neck, arms and other trouble areas.

SmartLipo can be used anywhere traditional liposuction is used and is perfect for liposuction touch ups for those who may have had traditional liposuction with imperfect results. Body regions that can benefit from the SmartLipo procedure include:

SmartLipo works best on small areas of fat that can be quickly liquefied and easily removed.
