recovering from smart lipo laser light
pollicis is a much smoother process for
patients then recovery from more
traditional liposuction treatments some
smart lipo patients who are getting only
a small area treated may be able to have
the treatment done over their lunch hour
and returned to work for the afternoon
during the recovery period in these
instances smartlipo patients can
continue with the pace of their busy
lives patients receiving larger smart
lipo treatments may be advised to take a
day or two off from work to recover
within a week
most patients are back to their normal
daily routine because smartlipo makes
use of laser technology to melt away fat
recovery time is diminished
significantly this is because blood
vessels are coagulated by the use of
lasers causing less swelling and
bruising to the area being treated
nerves are less likely to be damaged
when fat is liquefied for removal from
the body cutting down on the pain
involved in smart lipo procedures
incisions made in the skin are smaller
for smart lipo procedures because the
cannula used to remove melted fat has a
smaller diameter than what is used in
traditional or tumescent liposuction
surgeries smaller incisions mean that
smart lipo is less invasive than
traditional or tumescent procedures
smartlipo recovery starts the moment you
leave the surgical room you will be
moved into a recovery area while the
local anesthesia will wear off and the
num sensation in the target areas of
your body starts to go away shortly
after the anesthesia wears off your
doctor will send you home with pain
medications antibiotics and compression
garments it's important that you follow
your surgeons recommendations for
post-operative care to achieve the best
results wearing the compression garments
taking your medications and cleaning the
incisions according to your doctor's
instructions is vital for excellent
smartlipo outcomes
