Once upon a time lunchtime was strictly for grabbing a bite to eat and doing some shopping. Today, many fitness conscious individuals spend their lunchtime walking or working out to stay fit. However, it is now possible to have Smart Lipo in the time that most spend having a salad. Smart Lipo is a laser body sculpting procedure, also referred to as Lunchtime Lipo. The procedure involves the melting of fat cells, which are drained away through a tube.
The procedure is called “Lunchtime Lipo” because the lipo facial procedures may take as little as 30 to 45 minutes. However, lipo on other parts of the body may take up to two hours. Although the procedure can be done at lunch, most physicians recommend that you take the remainder of the day off. However, you will be ready to return to work the next day.
Unlike regular lipo, the procedure may be performed with local anesthesia. Patients may remain awake and even converse with the physician as the procedure is being performed. There is relatively little bruising and swelling. The overall healing time is faster than regular liposuction.
Smart Lipo is offered at many cosmetic surgery centers across the country. The procedure costs between $2,000 to $4,000 and many doctors are now offering financing which makes the procedure more affordable than ever.
The areas that most women target include the abdomen, the love handles and the outer thigh area. However, women are not the only ones to try the procedure, men are also using the method to correct their jaw lines, abdomens and waistlines.
After you have had the procedure the healing process normally takes a couple of weeks. Once the healing is complete you will look like you have been spending your lunch hours at the gym!
