You’ve lost weight and look great, except for those last few stubborn pockets of fat. Now, all you need to do is find a solution to bring your dream body to fruition! Millions of people choose a technique called Smartlipo for that very reason.

If you are curious to learn how treatment works, the results you can expect, and the liposuction cost in La Plata, you are in the right place!

Traditional Liposuction vs. SmartLipo: Which is Better?

The answer is going to depend on which method best suits your needs, but the difference between the two is significant.

Traditional lipo is a more complicated process. It requires general anesthesia and larger incisions. In addition, because the fat must be manipulated out of the body, there is a higher chance of rippling under the skin. Recovery can mean days or weeks of downtime.

With Smartlipo, only a local anesthetic is necessary. Incisions are smaller and a laser is used to melt fat before suctioning through a micro-cannula. This technique keeps bruising to a minimum. Most people return to work after one or two days after the procedures.

Now, for the biggest advantage of Smartlipo – the heat from the laser tightens skin! Who would not appreciate that?

Are Results Permanent?

Yes, they are considered permanent. Once fat is broken down and removed, it is gone for good. However, it is possible to gain weight after treatment so a healthy lifestyle is vital if you wish to enjoy your results indefinitely.

What Is the Liposuction Cost in La Plata?

You may notice quite a difference here too!

Traditional liposuction can range from $1,000 to $20,000, while Smartlipo averages between $1,500 to $7,500.

There are variables that play a role in how much you pay. These include (but may not be limited to) the expertise of your surgeon, the size of the area(s), facility fees, and post-lipo surgical garments.

You must also consider other costs. Time off work, childcare, help at home, and food deliveries are out-of-pocket expenses that can add up. If you travel for treatment, factor into your budget lodging, transportation, and meals.

Does Insurance Cover Lipo?

Health insurance is reserved for procedures that are deemed medically necessary, but plans do not typically cover cosmetic enhancements. The best way to find out about your coverage is to contact your carrier directly.

Are There Financing Options?

Most providers offer financing options that make Smartlipo easily affordable. You should ask about the specific plans they offer and how you can apply.

How Do I Find Out if I Qualify the Procedure?

Now that you understand the liposuction cost in La Plata, let’s talk about candidacy.

Before having any procedure, whether non-surgical or surgical, you should schedule a consultation with a trustworthy provider. A medical evaluation is necessary for your safety. A discussion about your goals is needed to develop a personalized treatment plan.

Smartlipo is not suitable for anyone who is not able to maintain a stable weight. It is not a weight loss treatment and should not be viewed as one. It is also not recommended for those with certain medical conditions.

If you are in overall good health, close to your ideal weight with only small pockets of fat shed, and have realistic expectations you are likely a great candidate!
