Getting rid of unwanted body fat is the goal for tens of millions of people around the world. As we get heavier and fat builds on our body, we look to science for new ways to eliminate this unwanted belly bulge. Traditional liposuction was effective but required highly invasive surgery with extended downtime. Now new liposuction methods, called “laser liposuction”, have cut down the downtime patients have to endure, often allowing them to go back to work the next day. This technique also enable the removal of fat in areas typical lipo did not allow. The upperarms, neck and abdomen now can all be effectively treated with little or no downtime thanks to laser liposuction.

Call a doctor today to learn more about this new liposuction technology and how it may be able to help you reduce fat and feel better about yourself.

I first learned about SmartLipo when I called Dr. Lowen's office and his staff informed me about Smartlipo. I found that I was very interested in the procedure because I had this area that would just not seem to lose any weight. At first I was a little apprehensive about it since it is very new but then I noticed that it was mentioned in a few newspaper articles. When I went to my appointment with Dr. Lowen it was explained in detail on what Smartlipo is...."little to no pain", very little down time PLUS it would tighten the area. That is what made me decide. I had SmartLipo on my abdomen area on a Thursday morning and was fine that evening (you do have to take it very easy for the three days mentioned) but I could walk around with no pain. My abdomen feeling was sore (it felt like after doing stomach crunches for the first time). Also, I had no need to take any pain medication at all. I had very good results immediately it has only been two weeks and I know it will just keep getting better. I have to mention that Dr. Lowen made me feel very comfortable and his staff are very friendly and warm. I am so happy that I don't have to "suck it in" ha-ha. I am positive that if you chose to do Smartlipo you will not be disappointed! Cheers, P.S.

After treatment of my upper arms with Smartlipo MPX I went home and worked on my laptop. The next day I worked a full day. I never needed pain medication, not even an aspirin, and I'm one who feels every bit of pain. The procedure was straight-forward and easy, and I am very happy with the results. I see huge improvement in my arms. They feel better in clothes, and it's an incredibly nice feeling. I have a photo of myself taken summer of 2007 where my left arm is reaching upwards. I loved the photo but hated how my upper arm looked so I paid someone $35 to carefully photoshop it so the ugly hanging fat was gone. I remember joking how paying a pro to doctor up a photo was way cheaper than paying a doctor for plastic surgery. But now I have everything because in pictures and in real life my arms look good and feel great. I can't wait for the warm weather to really show them off. Today I did a boot-camp style workout in a gym class. It was a wonderful feeling in every way. An added benefit: you'll love Dr. Lowen's staff. They are the best! Linda B
