Procedure and Recovery
Liposuction: Traditional liposuction uses a thin tube, or cannula, to break up and suction fat from the body. It’s ideal for targeting larger areas of fat deposits for a more pronounced contour change.
Body Jet Lipo: This gentler, water-assisted lipo sculpting technique uses a stream of saline solution to dislodge fat before it’s suctioned out. It’s less traumatic to the tissue, offering quicker recovery times and reduced bruising.
Smart Lipo: A form of laser lipolysis, Smart Lipo uses laser energy to liquefy fat before removal. This technique also promotes skin tightening in the treated areas, providing an added benefit beyond fat removal.
Recovery varies depending on the specific liposuction technique used. Generally, clients can expect some swelling and bruising, with specific post-operative instructions to maximize healing and outcomes. Activity restrictions and wearing compression garments are common parts of the recovery process.
While liposuction techniques are safe and effective, potential risks include infection, uneven contours, or changes in skin sensation. Choosing an experienced provider, like a GraceMed plastic surgeon, can minimize these risks.

FAQs
Liposuction surgery is highly effective for removing localized fat deposits but is not a substitute for weight loss. Ideal candidates are close to their desired weight with specific areas they wish to refine. In the case of Smart Lipo, clients benefit from skin tightening in addition to fat removal.
Generally, Body Jet Lipo and Smart Lipo offer quicker recovery times compared to traditional liposuction, due to their less invasive nature.
The best technique depends on your specific goals, body type, and medical history. During your consultation, your GraceMed plastic surgeon will discuss all options and recommend the best approach for you.
