One of the major advantages of the laser Smartlipo liposuction procedure is that it can be performed when the patient is awake, using only local anesthesia. This provides significant safety benefits over traditional liposuction, which required a patient to be put under general anesthetic throughout the surgery. While some other modern forms of liposuction can also be performed using only local anesthesia, the Smartlipo procedure generally produces better overall results.

Endoscopic techniques gain more popularity due to the benefits they present in patient recovery and level of risk.

In recent years, surgeons of different specialties have started to use more and more endoscopic techniques. Global Industry Analysts, Inc. indicates in a new report that a growing number of healthcare organizations choose to perform endoscopic surgery.

Liposuction is a way of removing excess and unwanted fat from the body. Traditional liposuction involves an instrument called a cannula. The cannula is a hollow metal cylinder with openings at the end and a handle.

Cannulas come in different lengths and diameters. A common diameter for a cannula is 3mm, which is very thin and creates little damage to the skin. It carefully removes small amounts of fat, without removing too much fat too quickly.
