Liposuction

Introduced in the U.S. in the early 1980s, liposuction, also called liposculpture is a cosmetic surgery technique developed by cosmetic surgeons to remove stubborn fat deposits that don't respond to dieting and exercise.

Dr. Rubinstein performs the SmartLipo™ technique. This technique is the first and only laser-assisted lipolysis system to offer a revolutionary and minimally invasive procedure for the removal of fat. Using a high-powered laser, Smartlipo™ is a new Laser Body Sculpting procedure with less down time and side effects than traditional liposuction.

SmartLIPO is a precise and safe procedure. This procedure uses medical-grade lasers which work by creating a powerful light beam that is adjusted to a specific frequency range. SmartLipo is different in that it uses a carefully calibrated laser to liquefy fat deposits through the top layers of the patient's skin. The laser actually ruptures fat cells, and the resulting oily, liquid substance is then removed through a tiny incision in the skin by the surgeon. The small laser can also seal blood vessels as it zaps fat, so there is less swelling, bleeding and bruising than with traditional liposuction. Research has shown that little, if any, fat is reabsorbed back into the body. In addition, SmartLipo patients need only a local anesthetic for this procedure.

The minimal invasiveness of this procedure allows patients to see faster results and to experience fewer complications. Dr. Leonard A. Rubinstein is the only cosmetic surgeon in Sarasota to perform this liposuction technique.
