How will I know if I’m a good candidate for this procedure? As much as we’d like Smart Lipo to benefit everyone seeking body fat removal, this isn’t possible.
Here are some of the things your physician will look at when they sit down with you to discuss the Smart Lipo option:
You want to spend less time in recovery. There is no lengthy recovery period. When you choose Smart Lipo you could find yourself back at work within 1 or 2 days
The best candidates have followed a good diet for a long time, but still have some trouble areas they want to fix through smart lipo.
You are concerned about safety. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Smart Lipo in 2006, and since that time there have been no reported cases of a serious or life threatening complication. In fact, the Smart Lipo today is one of the fastest growing and safest procedures in the field of cosmetic surgery.
You’re not taking blood thinning or anti-coagulant medications. Even though the Smart Lipo procedure has very little bleeding associated with it, taking these these types of medications pose an additional and unnecessary risk to you as a patient.
You are of the age of consent. As with any elective procedure the informed consent of the patient is required. By law minors are unable to give “informed consent.”
It is important to realize that this form of plastic surgery is a fairly inclusive procedure. That means that most people are able to get the procedure done. While there are definitely candidates that are better for the procedure than others, the safety of the procedure allows for a larger variety of people to get it done.
