Laser Liposuction of the Neck  San Antonio

Laser Liposuction with SmartLipo

The SmartLipo laser liposuction is a trademarked name for a special laser designed to perform two basic functions. The first function is to dissolve the fat. The second function is to stimulate the collagen in the overlying skin tissues in order to help to tighten the skin and to remove wrinkles.

Dr. Taylor uses the SmartLipo laser liposuction in most facial and other liposuction cases to help to dissolve the fat and to tighten the overlying skin. Some individuals with good skin tone and just localized fat in certain areas, such as the neck region, do well with the use of the SmartLipo and liposuction alone, but most people with a sagging neck and excess neck fat require tightening and repair of the neck muscles along with removal of the fat.

Liposuction is a well-known procedure to remove excess fat from different areas of the body. It is the number one cosmetic procedure performed in the United States. The basic concept of using a special cannula instrument attached to a special suction machine by tubing to suck out the fat has remained the same for over 30 years.

A few companies have developed specific "power hand pieces" to which the cannula is attached, and these hand pieces provide a back and forth or rotational motion to the cannula to make removal of the fat much easier and much more efficient.

In addition to the power hand pieces other instruments have been developed to improve fat removal and the condition of the overlying skin. One of the best known instruments is an external ultrasound machine that is applied to the skin surface to dissolve the fat immediately before the cannula is used to suck out the fat. There are also a variety of laser and infrared machines and special cannulas that are used to dissolve the fat before the cannula sucks out the fat.
