Home // Procedures for Women // Body Contouring // Smartlipo™ Laserlipolysis

Liposuction is the most popular cosmetic surgical procedure performed today, both in San Diego and across the United States. As popularity is often an accurate gauge of satisfaction, how can cosmetic surgery improve upon a treatment that's achieved such universal approval? Because popularity doesn't mean perfection. New Image Cosmetic Surgery of San Diego is proud to introduce Smartlipo™ laserlipolysis – the latest advancement in the evolution of liposuction. For your approval, of course.

Previously available only overseas, Smartlipo™ laserlipolysis (laser assisted liposuction) was approved by the Food & Drug Administration on October 31, 2006, and has already been featured in People magazine ("Has Fat Met Its Match?"), and on Good Morning America, the Today Show and Access Hollywood.

Dr. Schafer was hand selected by Cynosure, the manufacturer of Smartlipo to be the first doctor in California to perform the procedure. He is one of the first on the West Coast and New Image Cosmetic Surgery is an official training center for others to learn the new technique. Dr. Schafer also has 30 years of laser experience and 20 years of liposuction experience. To date, he has performed over 300 Smartlipo procedures and has trained over 30 doctors in the Smartlipo technology.

Smartlipo™ laserlipolysis is a minimally invasive procedure which uses a laser to zap unwanted fat fast, whether on the face, neck, back, thighs, arms or breasts. Utilizing a local anesthetic rather than a general anesthetic, you can actually stand during the treatment, ensuring that you attain the body you've always wanted the first time; traditional lipo requires post surgical touch ups as much as 20% of the time. Dr. Schafer is now using the newest Cynosure Smart Lipo technology withthe newly released 10 watt system.

The Low Down on the New 18 Watt Smartlipo™ Laserlipolysis – Less Is More

Compared to traditional liposuction, Smartlipo™ laserlipolysis results in less bleeding, less bruising, less swelling, less discomfort, smaller incisions and better results – usually in one 60 minute session. And, because the laser utilized by our 18 watt Cynosure Smartlipo™ system actually stimulates collagen production, tighter skin typically results. And, there's even more to like about Smartlipo™ laser liposuction:

There's a lot to like about Smartlipo™ laser assisted liposuction, and there's more to know. Anyone contemplating cosmetic surgery should do so with practical expectations. Traditional and Smartlipo™ liposuctions are for sculpting and contouring. They are neither for the removal of large quantities of fat nor are they for everyone.
