Smartlipo™ in Plano, TX

Do you still have stubborn areas of excess fat that don’t seem to go away with diet and exercise? Whether you’re trying to fit in your clothes better or have been fighting a never-ending battle to slim down certain areas of your body, you just may be a candidate for Smartlipo. It is a type of liposuction that utilizes the latest laser technology to rapidly dissolve fat while firming the surrounding skin. The FDA-approved, minimally invasive procedure results in less bleeding, swelling, and bruising, and gets you back to your daily activities quicker than with traditional liposuction. Smartlipo is easily performed in the office of Plano, TX board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Vu Ho, under local anesthesia for safe results.

It uses smaller instruments and advanced laser technology to safely and efficiently remove excess fat from areas of the body that are resistant to diet and exercise, such as the neck, arms, abdomen, back, and thighs. Because of this unique laser technology, there is also the benefit of skin tightening that continues to occur as the healing progresses. Schedule an appointment today to meet with Dr. Ho at Beyond Beautiful regarding this procedure.

During a consultation, a medical professional will help determine if Smartlipo is right for you in order to achieve your goals. The ideal candidates for Smartlipo:

• Have unwanted abdominal, neck, arm, back, and/or thigh fat
• Are at or near their goal weight
• Are healthy
• Have fat resistance to diet and exercise
• Want a minimally invasive procedure
• Desire long-lasting results

Smartlipo is a same-day procedure performed in the office, and the amount of time needed will depend on what areas are being treated and how much work has to be done. This is accomplished using light sedation, such as with oral Valium, and local anesthesia for comfort. Very small incisions are made to allow access to the treatment areas, which allow the introduction of a very small laser fiber and other instruments. The advanced thermal laser technology can safely and efficiently remove fat, contour, and reshape areas of the face, neck, arms, abdomen, back, and thighs.

At the same time, the laser is utilized to tighten the overlying skin. Finally, the majority of the excess fat is then gently eliminated from the body through suction. After the procedure is completed, a compression garment is worn over the treated areas for support as the healing process continues. 

Dr. Ho and our entire staff are completely dedicated to prioritizing your comfort, safety, and satisfaction during this cosmetic procedure. We now offer the PRO-NOX system to ensure your comfort.

With the PRO-NOX Nitrous Oxide Delivery System, you can control anxiety or pain during any medical procedure. Much like what you might receive from your dentist for pain, this vapor blend allows you, the patient, to choose the strength of the nitrous oxide and oxygen flow.

Although individual results will vary, an immediate difference may be seen with continual improvement as healing takes place. The fat that is suctioned out should be permanently eliminated; however, should you gain weight, areas of your body still containing abundant fat cells may enlarge. For the best and long-lasting results, we recommend maintaining a healthy diet and exercise program. Smartlipo is one of the most successful liposuction treatments due to its innovative technology and effectiveness in reducing excess fat in areas that are resistant to diet and exercise.

When you are looking to get rid of unwanted fat, traditional liposuction is not your only option. With Smartlipo, liposuction has gotten a needed improvement with less invasiveness, downtime, and side effects but with the same great results.
