What Is SmartLipo?
SmartLipo is a form of laser-assisted lipolysis. SmartLipo improves conventional liposuction by adding heat and laser energy. Three high-powered lasers are used in SmartLipo to heat and liquefy fat cells so they can be removed from the body more easily. The laser energy also encourages skin contraction and collagen generation for skin tightening benefits.
SmartLipo is less invasive than traditional liposuction and often works better.
What Are the Benefits of SmartLipo?
SmartLipo enhances liposuction by adding targeted laser energy that liquefies fat cells and builds collagen in the skin. By combining traditional liposuction with laser energy, SmartLipo offers patients a host of unique benefits that exceed traditional liposuction and fat removal treatments.
The benefits of SmartLipo include:
- Highly targeted contouring
- Mild to moderate skin tightening
- Enhanced safety profile
- Less post-operative downtime than traditional liposuction
- Enhanced definition in treated areas
- Minimal side effects and a short recovery period
- Treats areas that are inaccessible to traditional liposuction
- Prevents over-treatment

The SmartLipo Treatment: What to Expect on Surgery Day
Dr. Margoles performs SmartLipo treatments in Greenwich, CT. She performs surgery at several locations in the area, including CVW Body Design Center in Stamford, Greenwich Hospital, and Stamford Hospital.
A typical SmartLipo treatment takes between 1-2 hours, depending on the extent of your procedure and the number of areas receiving treatment.
SmartLipo is less invasive than traditional liposuction. It is typically performed using a local anesthetic that will numb the treatment areas. When the area is prepared, Dr. Margoles will make a small incision and insert a specialized cannula (tube) with a laser. The cannula is carefully moved in and out of the treatment area to liquefy fat cells and remove them using suction. The heat from the laser helps to coagulate blood cells and reduce bleeding and swelling.
Patients can return home shortly after their treatment, but they will need someone to drive them after the procedure.
SmartLipo Recovery
Recover from liposuction faster and easier with SmartLipo. By reducing bleeding, swelling, and other post-surgery complaints, SmartLipo improves the liposuction recovery experience.
Since this procedure is minimally invasive, patients recover quickly, often returning to work and other activities within 3-4 days. Dr. Margoles and her team will provide detailed post-surgical care instructions and monitor your healing throughout the recovery process.
You may be asked to wear compression during the healing process. Compression helps to hold the skin and tissues in place as you heal and can improve outcomes after treatment.
Follow your recovery instructions carefully to ensure the best results and easiest recovery, and be sure to contact Dr. Margoles with any questions or concerns after your procedure.
