Minimally Invasive Solution with Faster Recovery

At Holcomb - Kreithen Plastic Surgery & MedSpa in Tampa, we offer Smartlipo™ — a cutting-edge, FDA-approved laser lipolysis procedure designed to remove unwanted fat and promote skin tightening, all with less downtime than traditional liposuction. Whether you’re looking to slim your waistline or contour hard-to-tone areas, Smartlipo may be the right solution.

What Is Smartlipo?

Smartlipo is a laser-assisted fat removal treatment that melts fat cells and tightens skin in one session. The laser’s heat energy disrupts fat cells, which are then either gently suctioned out or naturally eliminated by your body. Smartlipo also stimulates collagen production, leading to smoother, firmer skin — a benefit that traditional liposuction doesn’t provide.

Why Tampa Patients Choose Smartlipo

Patients throughout Tampa Bay appreciate Smartlipo for its effective results with a quick return to everyday life. Unlike older fat reduction methods, Smartlipo:

Common Treatment Areas for Smartlipo

Smartlipo is ideal for addressing small to moderate pockets of fat in areas such as:

Chin and neck: Contour your jawline and reduce a double chin
Upper arms: Slim down “bat wings” for a more toned appearance
Abdomen: Sculpt your waistline and reduce belly fat
Love handles: Remove fat around the flanks for a sleeker silhouette
Back and bra roll: Target stubborn fat near the bra area
Thighs: Treat inner and outer thighs to enhance leg contours

What to Expect During Your Smartlipo Procedure

Smartlipo treatments are performed right in our Tampa office using local anesthesia. After numbing the area, a small cannula equipped with a laser fiber is inserted under the skin. The laser energy heats and liquefies the fat, while also coagulating blood vessels to reduce bleeding and bruising.

For smaller treatment areas, the liquefied fat may be naturally absorbed by the body. In larger areas, gentle suction is used to remove it. The procedure typically lasts 1 to 2 hours, depending on the size and number of areas treated.

Recovery After Smartlipo

Downtime: Most patients return to daily activities within 48 hours.
Compression garment: Worn for 1–2 weeks to support healing.
Swelling & bruising: Mild and temporary, with most subsiding in 7–10 days.
Exercise: Avoid strenuous activity for 2 weeks.
Final results: Visible within a week, with full results appearing in 3–6 months as collagen continues to rebuild and tighten the skin.

Is Smartlipo Right for You?

Smartlipo is best suited for individuals who:

Are near their goal weight but struggle with localized fat
Have good skin elasticity
Are healthy and non-smokers
Want to avoid traditional surgery
Desire both fat removal and skin tightening in one treatment

This is not a weight loss solution, but it is ideal for toning and refining your shape in ways diet and exercise cannot.
