SmartLipo™

Dr. Breitbart offers SmartLipo MPX™, the latest advance in Liposuction. SmartLipo™ uses laser technology to remove unwanted excess fat and tighten skin. It is ideal for many areas, including the abdomen, thighs, upper arms, back, and neck.

Dr. Breitbart uses the most advanced SmartLipo MPX™ system, which is the only FDA approved duel wavelength system which both effectively liquefies fat for removal and tightens skin. This new technology allows Dr. Breitbart's patients to recover faster and experience considerably less bruising and swelling than with traditional Liposuction. SmartLipo™ patients are typically back to work within as little as one or two days following the procedure.

SmartLipo™ works by first using a small one millimeter tube that is inserted into the skin. Laser energy is then delivered through the tube to the fat and overlying skin, causing the fat to liquefy and the overlying skin to tighten. A small Liposuction tube then removes the unwanted fat, resulting in a much improved contour with tightening of the skin.

FAQs on SmartLipo™

Q: What are the advantages of SmartLipo™?

A: By using a laser, skin tightening can be accomplished to a better degree that with traditional Liposuction. Furthermore, since the laser coagulates loose ends of small blood vessels as it melts the fat, there is less bruising than with traditional Liposuction, as well as less swelling and a quicker recovery time. Dr. Breitbart uses the latest generation SmartLipo MPX™ system to give you the very best that SmartLipo™ has to offer.

Q: Which areas of the body are best treated with SmartLipo™?

A: SmartLipo™ can be used to treat all areas of the body for which Liposuction is indicated, and is particularly advantageous in treating areas with some skin looseness, such as the abdomen, thighs, upper arms, love handles, and neck.

Q: Does SmartLipo™ improve cellulite?

A: SmartLipo™ will improve the body's shape and can improve cellulite to a certain degree.
