Liposuction / Laser Liposuction

If you are looking for minimally invasive treatment with negligible downtime and minimal scarring, SmartLipo could be the answer for you. SmartLipo delivers laser energy for preferential absorption by fat and dermal tissue. Selective photothermolysis frees the lipids contained in the adipose tissue for easy aspiration.

The results of this treatment include:

• Less body trauma
• Significant fat removal and skin tightening

The benefits of SmartLipo:

• Less downtime: many patients can go to work the same day
• Smoother skin: with less contour deformities
• Skin tightening: through laser-assisted lipolysis
• Faster healing: smaller incisions mean less bruising, pain, blood loss and swelling

Ashbury has performed thousands of liposuction procedures without major complications.

Liposuction is a treatment that has been successfully practiced for over twenty years. In that time, continual development and advancements have been made to ensure maximum safety and comfort during and after procedures.

Liposuction is the removal of excess body fat located between the muscle and the skin. A surgical tube connected to a vacuum is inserted in a fatty area through a small incision and effectively suctions out the unwanted fat cells.

Although liposuction is very effective in removing excessive fat cells, it does not prevent your remaining cells from increasing in size and ability to store fat when large amounts of food are consumed. A sensible diet and regular exercise regime are critical to maintaining a healthy figure and should be adhered to after the healing period. Lack of care for your body will ultimately cause greater long-term problems.

Virtually anybody can undergo liposuction, but it is important to understand that liposuction is used most successfully in conjunction with a body that is near to its ideal weight and level of fitness. A doctor will determine if your health is at a sufficient level prior to the procedure.

Young people with a moderate amount of fat and good skin tone are generally the most successful candidates as the skin is more likely to retract and not produce a surplus of sagging skin.

Older patients may want to consider the potential for sagging skin post fat removal and bear in mind the possibility of needing extra treatment and skin tucking in addition to their liposuction.

This depends on the area being treated. A procedure can take as little as half an hour, or up to and around three hours for larger or more complex areas. Liposuction is only a minor surgical procedure and does not require that you to stay in our facility for an extended period of time.

This will depend on the surgery and technique used. Most patients are able to go back to work in an average of 2 to 5 days after the treatment. Other factors affecting the recovery period include the age of patient and overall health of the individual.
