Main Line - Philadelphia Smartlipo™ Laser Liposuction
Dr. Andrew Kwak is one of the first and most experienced Philadelphia-area doctors to offer the innovative Smartlipo™ laser liposuction procedure. Smartlipo™ was one of the most requested new cosmetic procedures of 2007* and Dr. Kwak is one of the few offering it to Main Line residents. The Smart Lipo laser acts to liquefy fat (without causing significant damage to surrounding blood vessels), making fat removal via liposuction much easier. At the same time, the laser wavelength contracts collagen in the skin, resulting in a smoother and tighter surface appearance.

Candidates for Smartlipo™ Laser Liposuction
The ideal candidate for Smartlipo™ laser liposuction has an active lifestyle, is generally in good health, and is mildly to moderately overweight. Realistic expectations are important, as Smartlipo™ does not (at least alone) result in a large volumes of fat removal, but rather can sculpt areas with difficult to eliminate fat deposits. Larger weight loss may be achievable in combination with VASER Lipo or may require traditional liposuction. A consultation will help you to determine what is or is not realistic.
Philadelphia Smartlipo™ Procedure and Recovery
The Smart Lipo laser utilizes 1064nm energy that acts to dissolve fat cells while simultaneously coagulating blood vessels. Coupled with a smaller (1mm) cannula, the result is a less traumatic procedure with minimal bleeding and bruising. The laser also stimulates collagen contraction to decrease the amount of saggy skin that a traditional liposuction procedure can leave. Recovery from Smart lipo laser liposuction is generally much faster than traditional liposuction (a few days versus over a week).
