SmartLipo Cost

Smartlipo: Benefits vs Costs

Along with the many improvements in liposuction, laser lipo takes it one step further and offers increased skin tightening, less damage to the surrounding tissue during the procedure and in turn less downtime post procedure.  Costs for smartlipo tend to be a little higher than those of other modern liposuction techniques but after factoring in the substantially reduced downtime associated with laser liposuction the cost is well worth it.

Although costs for Smartlipo vary depending on the size of the area to be treated; you can usually expect to pay approximately $1,700 to $4,500 per area treated.  Costs of Smarlipo will also vary according to the doctor or clinic performing the procedure.  Hips and inner outer thigh usually cost around $7,000 for Smartlipo. The smaller the area usually the lower the cost, so a chin you might only expect to pay around $2,000 with the laser assisted liposuction technique.  Of the many benefits with Smartlipo, one must consider the reduced downtime associated with this procedure when factoring in costs.  By first melting the fat before removing it thru a vacuum, trauma to the surrounding tissue is minimized and patient’s recovery time is reduced. In addition, costs for may vary slightly per physician and per body area. Asking the right questions about overlapping procedures on 2 or more treatment areas within a single visit, and how much downtime is typically required with each of your treatment areas, will help you to accurately determine your total costs for the Smartlipo technique.

As with any surgical procedure it is important to do your homework researching a qualified, and board certified surgeon to perform your procedure. Results from an inexperienced surgeon can be unsightly lumps in areas under the skin where the fat was removed unevenly.  In addition, caving in of the skin into pockets where excessive amounts of fat were taken out is another post operative complication showing inexperience or carelessness from the physician.  Fixing the damage caused by an inexperienced surgeon can make the cost of Smartlipo and any liposuction procedure very expensive with costs to repair damage reaching $20,000 in some cases.  Getting your desired results and the ability to resume your normal routine as quick as possible, are most important. With Smartlipo, your life and health are restored almost immediately because of the minimal pain and short recovery period associated with the procedure.

Financing the Costs of Smartlipo

Because most insurance companies consider it an elective procedure, Laser Assisted Liposuction costs are usually not covered under any health plan. Some of our doctors, however, believe that everyone should have access to this cutting-edge procedure. As such, zero-percent financing is available to qualified applicants.

Smartlipo – Downtime

SmartLipo Downtime It used to take weeks, or even months, of painful healing and limited mobility to recover from traditional liposuction. But with SmartLipo, recovery time is now fast and relatively painless. Patients often return to work within 1–2 days of undergoing the SmartLipo procedure.

Recovery starts the moment the surgeon turns off the SmartLipo laser. The patient is then escorted to a recovery room, where the local anesthesia can begin to wear off. SmartLipo recovery does not involve the nauseating, disorienting recovery general anesthesia typically brings about—which many people consider the most difficult element of recovering from traditional liposuction. In fact, patients are generally sent home within one hour of the SmartLipo procedure’s completion.

The doctor will give you specific instructions on how to take care of yourself during recovery after the SmarLipo procedure, and he may give you a prescription for pain medication. You will also receive compression bandages, which are key to recovery. In addition to encouraging healing by preventing the shifting of bodily tissues, they can help prevent blood clots.

The goal of SmartLipo recovery is to achieve the best results while reducing the risk of infection. Infection can be the biggest risk during recovery. It can lead to unattractive scars, and possibly serious illness and even death. These rare contingencies, however, are dramatically reduced thanks to SmartLipo’s cutting-edge technology.

The staff always takes a personal interest in your recovery. They will schedule recovery checkups where one of our doctors will examine your wounds to make sure they are healing properly. It is very important that you keep your appointments as you recover, since professional monitoring improves your chances of smooth, healthy, scar-free results. SmartLipo recovery is made up of several stages. Minor bruising and numbness occur directly after the SmartLipo procedure, but they should disappear within days, if not hours, of leaving the recovery room. The swelling will drop within a week. Once the swelling disappears, your recovery is finished and you will be able view the SmartLipo surgery’s final results. SmartLipo…you’re in; you’re out; you’re a brand new you.
