SmartLipo offers many benefits of traditional liposuction. It reduces downtime and melts away fat, making it easier to suction out. Fat transfer involves harvesting fat from one body area and reinjecting the purified fat cells into another region of the face or body. Because SmartLipo melts or vaporizes fat, the removed cells can’t be repurposed in other areas. The laser damages the fat, making it impossible for the cells to survive in the face, breasts, or buttocks. Traditional liposuction is more appropriate for patients wanting to repurpose the removed fat to enhance another area.
