Our Smartlipo before and after gallery offers a clear look at how this advanced procedure can contour the body and improve your silhouette with minimal downtime. While photos help showcase real transformations, understanding what to expect before and after Smartlipo is just as important when deciding if the treatment is right for you.
Smartlipo is a minimally invasive laser-assisted liposuction procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits while tightening the skin. The laser energy liquefies fat cells, making them easier to remove through a small cannula. It also stimulates collagen production, which helps firm the treated area over time. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, thighs, flanks, arms, back, and double chin.

Before undergoing Smartlipo, a consultation is scheduled with one of our physicians to evaluate your goals, target areas, and overall health. Since Smartlipo is ideal for those who are close to their ideal body weight but have trouble spots that don’t respond to diet and exercise, it's important to have realistic expectations.
Leading up to your procedure, you'll receive detailed instructions from your provider, which may include pausing certain medications, avoiding smoking, and maintaining hydration. Simple blood work is typically required and will be ordered by your provider a couple weeks before your procedure. On the day of the treatment, a local anesthetic is placed into the area of treatment by way of tumescent technique to ensure comfort throughout the session. A twilight sedation is also offered if you have a driver available for transportation to and from your procedure.
Recovery from Smartlipo is generally quick, especially compared to traditional liposuction. Patients will experience swelling and bruising that resolves within a few weeks. Compression garments are worn post procedure for a short period to reduce swelling and help the body adapt to its new contours.
Noticeable results may begin to appear within a few weeks, with optimal Smartlipo before and after changes becoming more visible over the following 3 months as the body continues to heal and tighten.
Patients often report feeling more confident in clothing, seeing a slimmer waistline, or enjoying a more defined jawline after Smartlipo. Because the procedure also promotes skin tightening, the results are smoother and more natural-looking than standard fat removal methods. When combined with a healthy lifestyle, results can be long-lasting.
