Non surgical liposuction is another name for smart liposuction or laser liposuction. These names all describe the plastic surgeon’s use of a laser instead of an invasive surgical instrument called a canula (for larger areas like legs, arms, and abdomen) or a microcannula (for areas around the face and breasts) to remove excess fat deposits. Never go to a physician who is not certified by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons for any plastic surgery or body sculpting surgery.
The use of the Smart Liposuction machine produced by Cynosure only requires the completion of a single eight hour course to receive a license to use the machine. By using ASPS certified physicians you can be assured of the best possible care and the optimal results from whatever surgical procedure you decide on even if it is non surgical liposuction? Smart liposuction is more expensive than either surgical liposuction or liposculpture with a microcannula. Much of the expense is from the purchase of the laser and the dexterity needed by the surgeon to achieve the desired results without going under the skin.
Just because it is called non surgical liposuction does not mean that there is no pain involved after the surgery. Many people say that during the surgery it feels like a good massage, but then experience a great deal of pain wherever the laser was focused. This is due to the change in tissue affected by the laser that liquefies the fat under the surface of the skin and the resulting drainage. You may need additional massage after the surgery to facilitate the body’s drainage of the lasered fat. The vast majority of people would prefer a non surgical procedure versus on that you would have to go completely under anesthesia to perform. The best results for smart liposuction are in smaller areas.
