How It Works

If you just can’t get rid of stubborn fat, we offer multiple options for body contouring at the Plastic Surgery Center: traditional liposuction, SmartLipo, and BodyTite. Let’s review your options.

Traditional Liposuction

Liposuction is a procedure used to refine the body’s contour with the removal of fat deposits beneath the skin. Fat cells are permanently removed from the directed area, and this results in a thinner, more sculpted physique. Liposuction (lipo) is sometimes done in conjunction with a facelift, thigh lift, breast reduction, or tummy tuck. Liposuction may reduce fat deposits in the following areas:

Chin and neck
Upper arms and back
Breast, ‘bra rolls,’ or chest area
Abdomen, flanks and waist
Hips, thighs, inner knee, buttocks, calves and ankles

How does liposuction work?

Liposuction slims and reshapes specific by removing excess fat deposits. It ultimately improves your body contours and proportion. At the Plastic Surgery Center, our physicians use power assisted liposuction or PAL.

Your initial healing may include swelling, numbness, soreness and bruising that can be controlled with medication. Your small puncture incisions may take 3-5 days to heal, and your healing will continue for several weeks. Typically at 3-4 months, your results are at their maximum. You will enjoy your slimmer, better-proportioned body as long as you maintain your weight, eat healthy and exercise.

SmartLipo TriPlex™

SmartLipo is an advanced laser lipolysis body-sculpting system that melts away fat while stimulating your collagen to tighten and tone skin.

With SmartLipo, we can treat areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise with greater results, minimal downtime, and less pain than traditional liposuction. SmartLipo target areas include the arms, neck, face and body. This unique technology safely delivers the optimal blend of three laser wavelengths for better fat removal while it:

Tightens tissue
Permanently destroy fat cells
Is minimally invasive and safe
Can improve overall body shape
Includes just a few days of downtime

How does SmartLipo work?

This laser-assisted lipolysis procedure is performed using a small cannula (or tube) about the size of the tip of a pen, which is inserted under the skin. The laser delivers energy directly to the fat cells through the cannula, causing them to rupture. The liquefied fat is then gently suctioned out. New collagen is produced, resulting in tissue tightening. The three laser wavelengths contained in SmartLipo TriPlex allow your physician to customize treatments based on the nature of your concerns.

We make a tiny incision about the size of the tip of a pen
The SmartLipo laser fiber is inserted through a very small tube into your body
The laser ruptures the fat cell membranes, and the fat cells are permanently destroyed
The liquefied fat is gently suctioned out
New collagen is produced resulting in tightening

Typically, only one treatment is required depending on the number of areas to be treated.

Results may vary, but usually can be seen within a week, with continued improvement over three to six months.

SmartLipo TriPlex is a minimally invasive body contouring procedure which usually requires sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the number of areas being treated. Some swelling and bruising can occur, but you’ll be able to return to normal activities within a few days.

BodyTite

BodyTite gently treats fat in stubborn areas while tightening and lifting the skin, helping sculpt your body into its ultimate shape. It’s safe, effective, and minimally invasive. BodyTite is an advanced body contouring procedure that uses RFAL (Radio-Frequency Assisted Lipolysis).

It’s a great solution if you want to reduce fat while tightening saggy, wrinkly skin. It can also help improve skin laxity after weight loss or due to aging.

This ground-breaking treatment provides many benefits to our patients. Consider the following benefits when weighing your treatment options.

Non-excisional and only small puncture-like scars.
Superior body contouring with significant body tightening results and up to 40% skin contraction
Uniform treatment and consistent results
Less bruising, swelling and pain compared with traditional liposuction
Shorter downtime compared with excisional surgery

How Does BodyTite Work?

Very similar in technique to SmartLipo, which uses laser energy with liposuction to deliver fat reduction with skin tightening, BodyTite uses Radio-Frequency energy to deliver fat reduction with skin tightening. BodyTite uses small, puncture incisions to deliver energy into the fat cells causing them to rupture. The fat cells are suctioned out to the desired contour. BodyTite delivers energy into the skin, promoting collagen synthesis and overall tightening. BodyTite offers bipolar energy delivery into the tissues, whereas SmartLipo is a monopolar delivery system. The bipolar energy delivery system of BodyTite results in a more powerful, focused, and precise delivery of energy into the tissues, resulting in the most powerful skin tightening tool available.

Typically, only one treatment is required depending on the number of areas to be treated.

Results may vary, but usually can be seen within a week, with continued improvement over three to six months.

BodyTite is a minimally invasive procedure which usually requires sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the number of areas being treated. Some swelling and bruising can occur, but you’ll be able to return to normal activities within a few days.

Testimonials

It is easy to see why so many primary care providers send their patients to the Plastic Surgery Center and to Dr. Amy Sprole in particular. During my visit for surgery to remove Squamous Cell and my post-op visit to remove stitches, everything was perfect. The staff are friendly and efficient and put me at ease each time. Dr. Sprole’s reassurance that she removed all of the cancer was a great relief. I look forward to my six week follow up to check that everything is back to normal.

– Bruce

Everyone at PSC is so professional, kind, and respectful! I continue to recommend PSC to all my family and friends. If you want the best – schedule your procedure at PSC!

I went to Amy Sprole for my chest masculinization surgery and she did an amazing job explaining everything. She answered all my question in my first introduction. She communicated all of what i would need before and after my surgery and how long i would need to be off work. My results are amazing it is 9 months later and I love my chest. Dr. Sprole and her staff were amazing with treating me well and gendering me correctly I have recommended her to many other Transgender people I know. This was my first surgery and they made me feel calm and explained everything amazing. I feel so much happier in my body all thanks to Dr. Sprole and her team.

I’ve gone to Victoria for many years now and she remains my favorite. She is real and will honestly discuss with you the up side and the down side of the various treatments.

Brandy was absolutely amazing, as always! I had started getting migraines again, and due to school being out I had to bring two of my kids, but I really needed to get my Botox done. It’s always stressful bringing kids to appointments. Brandy and the staff were very kind and welcoming, putting this momma’s mind at ease. Thank you for making my day a little less stressful and for the quick, painless treatment.

From the moment I called to ask questions, to the moment I left the building from my consultation, every single person I talked to was so kind, nonjudgmental, genuinely smiled, and answered every question I had. Some of which I didn’t know I had!! The doctor that I saw was incredible and listened to my concerns, my wants, and explained my future surgery in a way that I understood. I felt like everyone cared about me as a person and I never felt like just another paycheck or another patient.

Well-trained, friendly staff. I switched to PSC 3 years ago because of all the upselling going on at the last 2 places I was using. PSC always does a great job, and I’ve never had to go back for ‘corrections’ on any service.

– SHEILA

Kaleigh is the best at helping me keep my skin healthy, especially dermaplane! I have been going to her for several years. She educates me on my skin’s needs but does not pressure me to purchase products. The entire staff has been friendly too.
