Side Effects of SmartLipo

As SmartLipo uses laser technology, it is a minimally invasive procedure. Therefore, its common side effects are usually limited and lesser than the side effects associated with other liposuction techniques.
Minimal discomfort and soreness should be expected after, particularly on the second day after the procedure. Take prescribed medications as directed by your doctor.  Swelling may occur as a reaction to the surgical trauma the body went through. It may last for 5 days to 2 weeks; prescribed antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications should help. Other side effects include bruising and slightly elevated body temperature.Our highly experienced and skilled doctor at Youthful Image Clinic can greatly minimize the side effects whilst yield better results. 

How long is the recovery time for SmartLipo procedure?

SmartLipo is a less invasive procedure and as such, offers faster recovery time. This is sometimes referred to as the “Lunch hour lipo” due to the minimal recovery time without the need to stay in the clinic after the procedure. Often, patients are ready to continue their normal daily activities immediately and requires only around 1 or days recovery. However, a SmartLipo doctor would usually encourage the use of post-treatment bandages and other special garments to help in the body’s healing process.
