The “Lunchtime Lipo”: Melt Fat & Tighten Skin with SmartLipo

At the Center for SmartLipo & Plastic Surgery, we are proud to offer “Lunchtime Lipo,” our popular nickname for the innovative SmartLipo procedure. SmartLipo is a minimally invasive, laser-assisted liposuction treatment designed to help you achieve a slimmer, more contoured appearance—right here in the comfort of our state-of-the-art facility.

SmartLipo uses advanced laser technology to liquefy unwanted fat, making it easier to gently remove from targeted areas such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, neck, or chin. This method is ideal for addressing stubborn pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet or exercise.

The nickname comes from the convenience and efficiency of the SmartLipo procedure. Unlike traditional liposuction, which may require general anesthesia and significant downtime, SmartLipo at the Center for SmartLipo & Plastic Surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia and can take as little as 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated. Many of our patients return to work and other normal activities within a day or two, making it possible to fit the procedure into even the busiest schedule.

Our experienced medical team uses SmartLipo’s laser energy not only to melt away fat, but also to stimulate collagen production for firmer, smoother skin. The minimally invasive nature of the treatment means less bruising, swelling, and discomfort compared to traditional methods.

At the Center for SmartLipo & Plastic Surgery, we specialize in SmartLipo, a minimally invasive body contouring procedure that utilizes advanced laser technology to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Unlike traditional liposuction, SmartLipo not only removes stubborn fat deposits but also tightens and rejuvenates your skin for smoother, firmer results.

During your SmartLipo procedure at our practice, a skilled physician inserts a thin laser fiber through a tiny incision in the targeted area. The laser energy gently heats and melts unwanted fat cells, which are then carefully suctioned out or naturally eliminated by your body over time.

What sets SmartLipo at our center apart is its ability to simultaneously stimulate collagen production. As the laser works, it triggers your body to rebuild collagen—the essential protein that gives skin its firmness and elasticity. This means that, in addition to fat reduction, you’ll notice a significant improvement in skin tone and tightness, helping to sculpt a more contoured and youthful appearance.

Our team at the Center for SmartLipo & Plastic Surgery is dedicated to providing the latest techniques in body sculpting, ensuring you receive safe, effective, and long-lasting results tailored to your unique needs.

Our skilled medical team at the Center for SmartLipo & Plastic Surgery frequently uses SmartLipo to target stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. Popular treatment areas among our patients include the abdomen and flanks (or “love handles”), where excess fat commonly accumulates. We also use SmartLipo to contour the thighs—both inner and outer—helping patients achieve smoother, more proportionate leg contours.

In addition to larger body areas, our practice is experienced in using SmartLipo for more delicate zones. Many patients seek our expertise to refine the upper arms, reducing the “bat wing” appearance, as well as the chin and neck for a more defined jawline, and to eliminate double chins. We also treat the back, especially the area around the bra line in women, and the male chest, where SmartLipo is an effective solution for reducing gynecomastia (excess breast tissue).

At the Center for SmartLipo & Plastic Surgery, we pride ourselves on offering personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique goals and anatomy. Our commitment to safety, comfort, and natural-looking results makes SmartLipo a popular choice for those seeking targeted, minimally invasive body contouring.

SmartLipo is most effective for individuals who are close to their ideal body weight but struggle with localized areas of stubborn fat that do not respond to diet and exercise. The procedure is particularly well-suited for those with good skin elasticity, as this allows the skin to adapt smoothly to the body’s new contours following fat removal.

Candidates should be in good overall health and free from significant medical conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, heart disease, or bleeding disorders, as these can increase risks associated with any surgical procedure. Additionally, non-smokers—or those willing to quit before and after their procedure—typically experience better healing and overall outcomes.

It’s important to understand that SmartLipo is not a weight-loss solution or a treatment for obesity. The best results are seen in patients who are already committed to a healthy lifestyle and have realistic expectations about what body contouring can achieve. SmartLipo can enhance your shape and boost your confidence, but it is not a substitute for traditional weight loss methods.

During your consultation at the Center for SmartLipo & Plastic Surgery, one of our board-certified plastic surgeons will evaluate your areas of concern, review your medical history, and discuss your goals to create a customized treatment plan tailored specifically for you. If you have concerns about loose or sagging skin, your surgeon may suggest combining SmartLipo with one of our other advanced skin-tightening or body contouring procedures to ensure optimal results.
