New Liposuction Technique of 2010: The Smart Lipo MPX
Smart Lipo MPX is one of the new liposuction techniques, which is now being offered in many cosmetic and plastic surgery clinics. This new liposuction procedure is derived from the highly popular Smart Lipo technology. It makes use of two types of laser energy, which function to eliminate fats and tighten the skin. Since it utilizes two different types of laser energy, more fats can be dissolved, thus, generating better results with minimal downtime. The edge of Smart Lipo MPX among other variants of new liposuction procedures is its ability to melt away fats and firm the skin in one single treatment.
Any individual who has pockets of fatty tissues that are not responsive to diet and exercise are potential candidates for this new liposuction method. But to be an ideal candidate, the patient must be in good health, and must have a desirable weight.
Smart Lipo MPX is contraindicated to:
- overweight patients (they are advised to lose some weight before undergoing the procedure)
- individuals with medical disorders
- patients who are under certain types of medications
Like with other lipo-sculpting modalities, Smart Lipo MPX follows a process. The procedure begins by injecting a local anesthesia to numb the target area. Once the targeted area is numb, the surgeon will insert a specialized cannula through a small incision on the skin to reach the targeted fatty deposits. The cannula must be moved back and forth to effectively break down the fatty cells, while at the same time directing the laser energy on the treatment area to encourage new collagen formation. In most cases, the procedure can last around forty five minutes up to three hours.
This new liposuction method is capable of generating visible outcomes almost immediately following the treatment. The results will continue to improve over several months as the skin reforms and tightens. The cost of this new liposuction treatment ranges anywhere from $2,000 to $6,000 depending on the area being treated, the number of sessions, and the amount of fat to be eliminated.
