What is SmartLipo?

SmartLipo is a revolutionary laser liposuction technology that uses a scientifically tuned laser to melt fat away and tighten the skin.1

SmartLipo is the predominant hi-tech laser liposuction method used in the United States today. According to The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) liposuction is the fourth most common cosmetic surgery behind only breast implants (breast augmentation)nose reshaping (rhinoplasty) and eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). Studies have shown faster recovery and less bruising with SmartLipo compared to regular liposuction.2 SmartLipo is offered by Board Certified plastic surgeon in San Francisco, Dr. Edward Miranda at Pacific Plastic Surgery Group.

Does Smartlipo Tighten The Skin Along With Removing Fat?

In recent scientific study SmartLipo was shown to improve skin tightness compared with traditional liposuction.3

How Is Smartlipo Different Than Regular Liposuction?

Our San Francisco SmartLipo is often better than regular liposuction because the application of the SmartLipo laser melts the fat targeted by the plastic surgeon, allowing it to be removed with less trauma and more precision. SmartLipo also stimulates collagen formation, improving skin elasticity and tightness(contraction) in treated areas.
