Common Problem Areas Ideal for Smartlipo
Smartlipo is a popular choice for removing stubborn, unwanted areas of fat that just won’t go away with diet and exercise. This minimally invasive laser procedure is highly effective, offering dramatic results with significantly less downtime vs. a traditional liposuction surgery.
Smartlipo for Arms
Arms are a problem area for so many. Larger arms can be a result of body type, genetics or weight. It also doesn’t help that as we age the skin on the arm tends to thin and sag.
One of the primary benefits of Smartlipo is that, while the last melts fat, it also heats and tightens the skin.
Smartlipo for the Abdomen
If you’re having trouble losing belly fat, you’re not alone. Fat on the abdomen area is the most stubborn and difficult to lose for most people — both women and men. Even with diet and exercise, stubborn belly fat can seem nearly impossible to lose.
If you’re still struggling to lose belly fat, rather than throw in the towel and give up you might consider a non-invasive fat reduction procedure like Smartlipo.
Smartlipo for Bra Fat
The dreaded bra bulge. It can make wearing fitted shirts impossible. Why fat accumulates there is anyone’s guess, but it’s challenging to get rid of to say the least.
Reducing this area with Smartlipo greatly reduces the circumference of the mid back, helping to define your waistline and hips.
Smartlipo for the Chin
Reducing the appearance of submental fullness, more commonly known as “double chin” is one of the most popular applications for Smartlipo. Submental fat can develop under the chin area due to weight gain or aging.
It is common for patients who are in good health, within 20-25 pounds of their ideal weight, to develop the appearance of submental fullness under the chin, even when adhering to consistent diet and exercise.
Smartlipo for Flanks
Often called "Love Handles," Flanks are to the areas of fat on the lower back — particularly the fatty deposits on either side of the spine that often create a spill-over effect.
This area can be harder to shape with age. Reducing the size of the flanks with Smartlipo makes a big impact on the shape and contour of the waistline.
Smartlipo for Inner Thighs
The inner thighs are a pesky problem. They eat your shorts and can cause you to experience uncomfortable chafing. You do endless exercise in hopes of achieving a thigh gap, but most come up short.
Inner thighs are a delicate area to sculpt with liposuction, it takes precision. Smartlipo does a superb job at reducing the fat in the inner thighs while tightening the skin.
Smartlipo for Outer Thighs
The area dubbed the "saddlebags" refers to the extra fat that accumulates around the lateral thigh or outer thigh area.
Many people have trouble with this area, and it can oftentimes be caused by a person’s genetics. This area responds really well to Smartlipo and makes all the difference in shape of your legs.
Smartlipo for Men's Chest
Men too have breast tissue, some it’s more fatty than others and can result in what is called gynecomastia, which is the enlargement of the breast tissue of males.
Often this is the result of an imbalance of hormones, regardless of how many chest presses you do, the fatty tissue still remains.
This condition can result in loss of confidence, but it doesn’t have to, it can easily be remedied with Smartlipo and no one will be the wiser.
Smartlipo 360
SmartLipo 360 is a laser liposuction procedure that encompasses the midsection of the body, which includes the flanks, abdomen, and lower back areas.
Completing this procedure 360 degrees around can help create a more natural-looking and balanced "hourglass" appearance.
Smartlipo for Arms

Frequently Asked Questions About Smartlipo
Smartlipo laser liposuction is a less-invasive solution for patients looking to get rid of stubborn fat that isn’t responding to diet and exercise. It’s ideal for most areas of the body: Abdomen, flanks, bra fat, thighs, chin, arms and male chests. Ideal patients are in good health and not typically more than 25 pounds over their ideal body weight. As with everything, there are always exceptions.
Regardless of ethnicity, Smartlipo does not impact skin color or increase the possibility of complications. WIFH patients represent 52 different countries from around the world, all with unique skin types and we have treated them all safely with exceptional results.
Our medical staff has performed over 10,000 procedures, and we have no doubt that laser assisted liposuction is better than traditional liposuction for most people. Patients experience less bruising because Smartlipo is a gentler technique causing less tissue trauma to the skin resulting in bruising. Patients also experience just a few days of downtime rather than weeks or months.
Even if you take the prescribed pain pill or sleeping pill, you will be awake, but relaxed. Many of our patients choose not to take any medication before the procedure and they do great. You will not feel pain. The most you will feel will be slight pressure. Tumescent liposuction has proven to be the safest method of liposuction, because the risks associated with general anesthesia are eliminated. We use lidocaine to thoroughly numb the area and add epinephrine to greatly reduce bleeding in the area. This will allow you to have less bruising, swelling, and a shorter recovery time. You will not feel us make the incisions as we use lidocaine to numb the area. Many people express their anxiety about being awake but as a rule of thumb, everyone says the procedure was “much easier” than they expected. We have had several patients offer to speak to people considering this procedure so this is available to you if you’d like.
Your Smartlipo procedure will be performed in our office, in our own operating room. We use a full sterile technique and have a large flat screen monitor in our operating room, displaying your before photo while we sculpt your problem areas.
One of the primary risk factors for complications during a surgical procedure of any kind is the type of anesthesia that is administered. The same holds true in body contouring procedures. More invasive surgical procedures such as traditional liposuction utilize general anesthesia or IV sedation to render the patient unconscious. Dr. Cox does not use general or IV sedation for Smartlipo procedures.
For Smartlipo, Dr. Cox uses local anesthesia to thoroughly numb/anesthetize the treatment area. In addition to local anesthesia being the safest form of anesthesia, its effects also last several hours post-procedure, decreasing the need for narcotic pain medications after surgery. For patients who experience anxiety about being awake during the procedure, Dr. Cox can prescribe oral sedative to be taken prior to beginning treatment.
