Liposuction is the most commonly performed cosmetic procedure in the United States. The ideal candidate is physically fit and eats well-balanced meals but is unable to reduce fatty deposits in certain areas of the body. Great progress has been made in new procedures to help people reduce areas of stored fat in the body. As Dr. Marcia Byrd's specialty, Byrd Aesthetic & Anti-Aging Center offers many different types of liposuction procedures. Because each body is unique and responds differently to aesthetic procedures, Dr. Byrd consults with each patient prior to any surgery to identify which of the procedures would best fit the individual based on their body type and desired end results.
Byrd Aesthetic and Anti-Aging Center introduces Smartlipo™ - the first laser lypolysis system to offer a revolutionary and minimally invasive procedure for the removal of fat. During the procedure, a small cannula containing a laser fiber is inserted into the skin. As the cannula is moved back and forth, it delivers the laser's energy directly to the fat cells, causing them to rupture and be easily drained away. The laser coagulates small blood vessels on contact, resulting in less bleeding, swelling, and bruising and a quicker recovery time than conventional liposuction. The laser energy also interacts with the dermis and stimulates collagen, resulting in a gradual and natural skin tightening. Because the cannula is so small, Smartlipo™ can be performed under local anesthesia. Rest is recommended after the procedure and activity may be resumed gradually. Follow up appointments with Dr. Byrd will be scheduled to monitor progress. Results can be seen as soon as a week with continued improvement over several months. Smartlipo™ is a great addition to other Soft Beautification™ procedures, however, it is not a replacement for conventional liposuction. It works extremely well in combination with the Aqualipo procedure. Only one treatment is usually required for most patients. A session may last from 45 minutes to one hour for each area treated.
Aqualipo is a revolutionary liposuction treatment that uses the gentle power of water to wash away fat. The procedure works by flushing fat from the body using the BodyJet® fat removal system. The procedure takes about 30 to 45 minutes for each area treated. With no need for general anesthesia, Aqualipo offers better results with less patient discomfort, resulting in less medical risk, less bruising & swelling, and less downtime than traditional liposuction.
Dr. Byrd frequently combines two of the most advanced liposuction technologies: Smartlipo laser lipolysis with Aqualipo, to form a more precise, artistic tool than the typical liposuction cannula. This results in superior contouring and skin-tightening with dramatically less bruising and swelling.During this process, Smartlipo laser lipolysis delivers laser energy to targeted areas, dissolving fat cells while promoting tissue tightening. Once the fat is destroyed by the Smartlipo laser, it is then gently flushed from the body by the Body-Jet® water assisted liposuction system, a process that avoids the more aggressive actions of conventional liposuction. The Aqualipo & Smartlipo laser combo is ideal for treating excess fat in the face, neck, arms, breasts, tummy, thighs, knees, back, and buttocks. This procedure is not for those who are severely overweight or obese; instead patients should be within 25 pounds of their goal weight and in good health. Because of the way the laser interacts with the dermis during treatment, the body will continue to produce new, tighter collagen in the following treatment. This procedure permanently destroys fat cells in the treated areas, giving patients long-lasting results.
