Laser Liposuction

This liposculpture ("lipoplasty") technique, which is also known as laser liposuction, is designed to eliminate stubborn pockets of fat when diet and exercise are no longer effective. Dr. Mendieta offers patients various techniques, depending on their desired outcome and anatomy. SmartLipoT uses a laser to liquefy the fat cells prior to removal. Dr. Mendieta then suctions the melted fat with a long, metal tube called a cannula that is hooked up to a vacuum pump.

Smart lipoT in Miami is commonly performed when an individual wants to remove smaller amounts of fat that are closer to the skin surface, such as in the chin, neck, back, and ankles. Due to the collagen-retracting effect of the laser probe, the skin in the target area begins to tighten during the recovery period in order to produce a smoother, more even tone. Those who would like to address deeper layers of fat may choose to combined Smart liposuction with Vaser liposelection ®, an ultrasound probe technique that is used to break up fat cells.

If you also have stretched-out abdominal muscles and loose, sagging skin in the stomach area, our Miami Smart LipoT surgeon, Dr. Mendieta, may also recommend tummy tuck surgery ("abdominoplasty"). This body contouring procedure tightens the abdominal muscles and removes excess skin, revealing a slender, smoother midsection.
