Fine Tuning the Athletic Body

The Extra Help of Smart Lipo

You have worked your butt off for your athletic body. You get to the gym 5-6 days per week. You have really modified and been strict with your diet. You have lost weight and all your friends think you look great. You have come a long way from where you started. However, as your body has gotten better, your expectations for yourself have gone up. You have had to buy all new clothes because your former ones are all too large for your frame.

But where are those defined abdominal muscles? Why are there still love handles? How could those saddle bags possible still persist?

Smart lipo almost certainly can be a helpful tool to get you closer to your goal. Let me preface my comments by saying that I do not believe any liposuction technique can “liposculpture” you to a 6-pack or make you into the cover a Fitness magazine. If it was as easy as that, we would be seeing them all the time in the gym! I have serious ethical issues, with those advertisements that suggest they can. Smart lipo works in conjunction with your diet and exercise program. You don’t want to put on weight after your Smart lipo and in many cases, you want to lose a few pounds.

Smart lipo is minimally invasive (to get a real result, I believe you need a small incision so that the fat can be accessed and melted – in comparison to CoolSculpt which is much less effective) and only requires incisions that are a miniscule, 3 mm or so (⅛ of an inch). It is done in the office with local anesthetic, plus often an oral sedation pill. Since you are not put to sleep, you are at no increased risk of blood clots and pulmonary emboli. There is no anesthesiologist to pay. You go home immediately afterwards and can return to work the very next day. It is important to note, that you will continue to improve for 6 months and you are very unlikely to be perfect.

Smart lipo with the fiberoptic laser  making direct contact with the fat, is a great way to be very precise with the fat removal. It is then liposuctioned away. This can be an excellent tool to get you much closer to the body that you have always wanted. 

My cosmetic consults are free and I look forward to discussing the options with you.
