What is SmartLipo?

Introduced to Singapore in 2005 by Dr. Ivan Puah and two other aesthetic doctors, Laserlipolisis or SmartLipo is a laser-assisted liposuction that breaks down the fat cells membranes into liquified fat which are then removed through low-pressure suction. Compared to traditional liposuction, SmartLipo involves practically no blood loss. Additionally the laser energy stimulates collagen production in the skin resulting in skin firming.

SmartLipo is a popular laser assisted liposuction that is commonly used to eliminate stubborn fat pockets, whilst rejuvenating the appearance and improving loose skin.

How does SmartLipo® work?

SmartLipo is performed under local anaesthesia. First the treated area is marked out, tiny incisions or small puncture holes are made in the skin to allow infiltration of the anaesthetic fluid. Next an optic fibre with laser light is inserted through a micro-cannula into the fat layers.

The Nd:Yg laser beam emits laser in ultra short pulses and while this is in the works, the doctor is able to see and guide the optical fibre to where he wants to melt the localised fat tissues. Melted fat tissues are then removed via suction.

Which areas can SmartLipo® treat?

SmartLipo® is ideal for removing pockets of fat from the face, neck, under chin, waist, stomach, upper back, thighs, hips, arms, knees, calves and ankles.

How long will the treatment take?

Depending on the number of areas to be treated, SmartLipo® generally takes between 1 to 1.5 hours.

When will I see the results from SmartLipo?

As the fat is removed following the laser fat melting process, most patients can appreciate the instant results,however it is important to note that tissue swelling will occur and may take a couple of weeks to subside. Patients will be able to see the full results in 4-6 months post-surgery.

Is the result permanent?

Results achieved from SmartLipo are long lasting as long as a sensible diet and exercise are maintained to avoid future weight gain. Another beauty of this procedure is that skin contraction is initiated as the laser releases heat during the process, hence you can see improvement in skin tightening and firming following that.

How long will results last?

Results are permanent as SmartLipo® dissolves the fat cells which are then unable to reproduce. To upkeep results, it is important to maintain a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

suitable candidates for SmartLipo

SmartLipo performed by Dr. Ivan Puah is a customised procedure. We recognized that not one body is the same and the surgical approach is based on you and your body shape. You may be a suitable candidate for SmartLipo if:
‍
• You are in good psychological health and with no other underlying medical conditions.
• You have a realistic expectation of what can be achieved via SmartLipo
• Your objective is to improve your body contours and to rejuvenate the appearance of overlying skin.

Who is not suitable for SmartLipo?

Women who are pregnant or are currently breastfeeding and those with pre-existing health conditions and medical issues. SmartLipo is not a cure or tool for obesity and should not be used as a shortcut for weight loss. People with a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 28 will not be suitable candidates.

Will I be uncomfortable during treatment?

Our anaesthetist will carry out twilight sedation for the patient during the procedure to ensure that the patient is comfortable and that the process is tolerable for the patient.

Is SmartLipo® for weight loss?

SmartLipo® is not a weight loss technique or a solution for obesity.

SMARTLIPO benefits

Benefits of SmartLipo® include:
• Minimal downtime as it is performed under local anaesthetic.
• Reduced invasiveness which means less discomfort and minimal bruising.
• The skin tightens around the area as the fat is absorbed leaving a smoother tighter feel and appearance.

Benefits of SmartLipo vs traditional liposuction

Due to the mini-cannulas used (1mm), SmartLipo is considered relatively minimally invasive when compared to traditional liposuction. Performed under local anaesthetic, it can treat delicate areas such as the face, forearms, armpits, knees. Recovery is faster with minimal scarring, bruising and swelling. SmartLipo also stimulates collagen reproduction to further tighten the skin.

SmartLipo vs traditional liposuction

SmartLipo utilises Nd:Yg laser assistance to break down fat cells before they are removed and is less invasive than traditional liposuction.

SmartLipo vs fat freeze

SmartLipo targets fat tissues using laser frequencies emitted from a laser cannula, working directly to melt the fat tissues before the melted fat is removed by the doctor via suction. This procedure allows localised fat removal of more than 85%. Results are immediate and in most cases, one treatment is required.
‍
Fat Freeze is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment, and the specifications of the fat freezing machine will determine how well the fat response to fat freeze. It is important to note the differences between a medical grade fat freezing machine and a salon-grade fat freezing machine. In most optimum cases, localised fat loss of 20 to 30% can be obtained with fat freezing. However, there are also cases whereby patients do not respond to fat reduction with Fat Freezing despite multiple treatments.

How much does SmartLipo cost?

Costs of SmartLipo vary between different practices, depending on the doctor’s experience in performing this procedure, the treatment area and the clinical condition of the patient. It is important to note that doctors who offer SmartLipo (laser lipolysis) must have undergone the training in operating this laser assisted liposuction machine and have completed the hands-on training with Deka in Italy.

Side effects of SmartLipo

Minor swelling, bruising or tenderness may take a few days to a week to diminish. Rarely, infection and haematoma may occur.

How long is the procedure?

Duration of treatment depends on the areas to be targeted and treated. The procedure may take 1 to 2.5hours on average.

What happens after treatment?

Following treatment, compression garment needs to be worn for a period of 6 to 12 weeks. Smartlipo provides dramatic improvements with greater results, minimal downtime and less pain than traditional liposuction.

Can I take my compression garment off at night?

Please wear a compression garment to bed for the first 1 to 2 months. Wearing your compression garment is crucial because this helps to reduce swelling and fluid buildup.

How long after SmartLipo can I exercise?

Please refrain from any strenuous activity or vigorous exercises for the first 2 weeks. Starting activities too soon after surgery may jeopardize your wound healing and delay your post-op recovery. Abstain from all water activities, sauna till stitches are removed. You will be advised on when you may start your sports and exercises during the post-op review.

Does Amaris B. provide aftercare treatments?

Is SmartLipo® (Laser Lipolysis) worth it?

Wanting to proceed with a cosmetic procedure such as SmartLipo® (Laser Lipolysis) is personal. It is a practical, permanent, and clinically proven solution to remove fat in bulk and achieve skin tightening, compared to non-surgical fat treatments such as Fat Freezing.

Fat Freezing requires multiple sessions done over more extended periods. The applicator's size also limits the area that can be treated non-surgically.

If you have tried various methods of losing fat in a specific area but are not achieving the result that you yearn for, we recommend that you come for a consultation and assessment to understand whether or not you are suited to the procedure.
