While standard liposuction removes fat in its solid form through a small tube, or cannula. Smartlipo allows for less trauma to the body by removing fat in liquid form.<\/p>\n<p>Renewal utilizes the latest advancement in Smartlipo\u2014the \u201cSmartlipo Triplex\u2122\u201d technology. This latest Smartlipo technology comes equipped with three wavelengths that target fatty tissue and optimize skin tightening. The Thermaguide\u2122 sensor technology provides our Duke-trained surgeon, \u00a0<a title=\"Dr. Jason Miller\" href=\"\/about\/dr-jason-miller\/\">Dr. Miller<\/a>,\u00a0 with real time temperature monitoring to reduce the risk of burns to the skin and other tissues. This gives you an optimally-sculpted physique with less risk and less downtime.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> <strong>Am I a good candidate for Smartlipo Triplex<\/strong>?\u2028 This is a difficult decision to make without understanding all your options and reviewing them with your surgeon. All too often patients make their own diagnosis, either through recommendation from a friend, exposure to advertising, or by simply researching online. There are many different technologies and techniques available. Choosing which procedure is right for you should be a decision you make with the help of your surgeon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> What types of <strong>anesthesia are used during a Smartlipo<\/strong> procedure? \u2028On the day of the procedure you are given several medications: one for pain and the other for sedation. After you start feeling sleepy, you will be transferred to the surgical suite and will receive local numbing medicine. Only after the area is numb does the procedure begin. We use only local anesthesia to reduce recovery time and to alleviate the unnecessary risks associated with general anesthesia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. How much does Smartlipo cost<\/strong>? \u2028Because Smartlipo can be performed onsite and with minimal anesthesia, the procedures cost much less than traditional lipolysis. <a title=\"Cost &amp; Financing\" href=\"\/resources\/fees-and-financing\/\">Treatments start at $1,429 per area<\/a>, but cost depends on the size and complexity of the procedure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong> What is the typical <strong>recovery time with Smartlipo<\/strong>? Patients recover at their own pace but are instructed to take at least two recovery days after the procedure. Typically, the smaller the area, the quicker the recovery. Most patients will need to wear a customized compression garment for up to three weeks following surgery.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.<\/strong> What<strong> areas of the body can be treated with Smartlipo<\/strong>? Smartlipo is ideal for any localized areas of the body such as the abdomen, flanks, arms, thighs or chin. Patients will see good skin contraction in these areas with a more natural-looking result.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6.<\/strong> <strong>Who should I trust with my Smartlipo procedure? <\/strong>\u2028Patients need to be careful when researching surgeons. Many physicians who do not specialize in this type of treatment will often offer the procedure. <a title=\"Dr. Jason Miller\" href=\"\/about\/dr-jason-miller\/\">Dr. Miller<\/a> is a national Smartlipo instructor in partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cynosure.com\/\">Cynosure<\/a>, the manufacturer of Smartlipo, and has extensive, specific training with the technology to achieve optimal results. He has performed over 1000 Smartlipo procedures to date.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7.<\/strong> How long do the <strong><a title=\"Smartlipo Results\" href=\"\/gallery\/\">Smartlipo results<\/a> last<\/strong>? \u2028Smartlipo permanently removes fat cells from the body. However, it is important for patients to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle. We try to help patients establish an overall\u00a0health and wellness\u00a0track through The Vital Plan.
