Smart Lipo is the much acclaimed, newest alternative to surgical liposuction. Hailed as the low pain, quick-recovery alternative to traditional liposuction it is fast gaining popularity in cosmetic surgery clinics across the world. But does this much hailed new procedure really work as claimed?

The surveys of Smart Lipo are rather mixed it seems. Many of the patients went through the surgery very well and are ecstatic with the outcome. Other patients have several complaints and post-surgical issues. It would seem that the main trouble with their surgeries, however, was their surgeons.

As Smart Lipo is a fairly new technique, many surgeons are not properly trained or experienced in performing the surgery. If you are considering Smart Lipo for yourself, be very inquisitive about the experience your surgeon has had with this procedure, and ask to see his before and after photos from past patients. If he will give you references, meaning former patients, give them a call and inquire about their feelings.

Smart Lipo is not as pricey as one might think, but it does seem to depend on where you live. The prices people have paid extend from 3 to 8 thousand. The higher rates are for patients who chose general for anesthesia, and had more areas targeted. Nobody can tell you if Smart Lipo is for you, but if you have been considering liposuction, you should talk over Smart Lipo with your doctor as well.
