SmartLipo™ is the first and only laser-assisted lipolysis system to offer a revolutionary and minimally invasive procedure for the removal of fat. SmartLipo is a new laser body sculpting procedure with less down time and fewer side effects than traditional liposuction. SmartLipo is very effective in body areas that are not suitable for traditional liposuction, such as the face, chin, neck, back, abdomen and knees. The SmartLipo procedure will improve the body's shape and may reduce cellulite to a certain degree.

Almost anyone could benefit from SmartLipo, but the ideal candidate: (1) is in good health, exercises regularly, is within 25 lbs. of his or her ideal weight; (2) has one or more areas of local body fat deposits that have responded poorly to diet and exercise; and (3) is bothered by these fatty areas, and is motivated to get rid of them permanently.

Unlike traditional liposuction that is completed in the hospital setting, SmartLipo is performed as an in-office procedure under local anesthesia. It is a relatively painless procedure that has minimal swelling and bruising when compared to standard liposuction. SmartLipo patients are typically back to their normal routine within 1-2 days following the procedure.  Visit the SmartLipo website for before/after photos and FAQs.

Aspen Institute of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery is the first and only practice in the Western Slope to offer this technology, and AIPRS is a regional training facility for other physicians.
