What is SmartLipo?
Tumescent SmartLipo is a modern liposuction technique that enhances the safety and efficacy of fat removal procedures. This method involves the injection of a large volume of tumescent solution—comprising saline, a local anesthetic, and epinephrine—into the targeted fat tissue. This solution causes the tissue to swell and become firm, allowing for easier and more precise fat removal.
SmartLipo further enhances the process by using laser technology to liquefy the fat before its removal, reducing recovery time and improving contouring outcomes. This combination results in less bleeding, swelling, and bruising compared to traditional liposuction methods, making it a popular choice for those seeking effective body sculpting solutions.
"Awake Lipo", also known as tumescent body sculpting, is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia, eliminating the risks and extended downtime associated with general anesthesia. This technique involves injecting a tumescent solution into the targeted fat areas, which numbs the region, minimizes bleeding, and facilitates fat removal. Patients remain fully awake during the procedure, allowing for real-time adjustments to enhance the precision of body contouring. With reduced recovery time and fewer side effects compared to traditional liposuction, tumescent body sculpting is an effective option for individuals seeking a safer and more efficient method of fat reduction.

Target Areas For SmartLipo
SmartLipo By The Body Care Doctor
PREP
Unlike general surgery, which often requires fasting the night before, SmartLipo is performed under local anesthesia, eliminating the need for major preparations. During the pre-op consultation, Dr. Stratt will review any medications or supplements you are taking.
PROCEDURE
Tumescent anesthesia, first introduced by dermatologist Dr. Klein in the 1980s, enables the procedure to be performed on an outpatient basis without requiring a prolonged hospital stay. Once the anesthesia is administered, the procedure becomes virtually painless. In one session, up to 4 liters of fat can be safely removed, often producing transformative results.
RECOVERY
SmartLipo performed under local anesthesia offers a minimal recovery period, making it a convenient choice for those seeking a quicker return to daily activities. Unlike procedures that require general anesthesia, SmartLipo under local anesthesia is considered safer, as it reduces the risks associated with general anesthesia. This safer approach not only minimizes downtime but also enhances the overall patient experience by reducing potential complications.
SmartLipo Is Affordable!
Tumescent anesthesia, in contrast to liposuction under general anesthesia, does not require a hospital stay, which substantially lowers the cost. The price of the procedure depends on the number of areas you wish to have sculpted. We offer affordable financing options starting as low as $100 a month.
