Liposuction procedures have evolved into more precise methods of body contouring in recent years, offering greater patient comfort and reduced downtime. SlimLipo is one of the newest laser liposuction devices, used in the Lifesculpt procedure to gently liquefy fat for easier removal.
Dr. Will is a one of the only cosmetic surgeons to offer the Slim Lipo procedure in the Washington DC, Urbana, and Frederick, Maryland, area.
Who can benefit from SlimLipo?
Candidates for SlimLipo should be in good physical health, within 25 lbs of their ideal body weight, but exhibiting areas of persistent body fat. If your healthy diet and exercise routine haven’t gotten results, you may want to consider the SlimLipo procedure to eradicate localized fat deposits.
Common body areas that we treat at our Maryland cosmetic surgery office include the:
- Abdomen
- Back
- Flanks
- Buttocks
- Chin/Neck
- Thighs
- Upper Arms
SlimLipo can also be utilized during other cosmetic procedures such as male breast reduction or abdominoplasty.

How SlimLipo Reduces Body Fat
SlimLipo, like other liposuction techniques, is neither a weight loss method, nor an advisable procedure for obese patients. SlimLipo is a body contouring method. Tiny incisions are made before a special laser-equipped liposuction cannula is inserted to remove fat with suction. The laser provides a fat “melting” effect that allows easier fat removal and skin tightening through gentle heating of the tissue.
Slimlipo FAQ
Is SlimLipo different from traditional tumescent liposuction?
SlimLipo uses focused laser energy to warm and melt your fat cells before they are removed. This makes the fat easier to remove and also offers some mild skin-tightening benefits.
What areas of the body can be treated with SlimLipo?
A SlimLipo procedure can remove fat from nearly any body area including the midsection, back, thighs, buttocks, upper arms and around the nck or face.
How long does it take to recover after a SlimLipo treatment?
The recovery period for laser liposuction is shorter than the traditional technique. If you have received a SlimLipo treatment, you can expect to return to your normal routine after 2-3 days, but follow Dr. Will's instructions for your specific case.
What type of anesthesia is used with Slimlipo?
While each patient and surgical procedure will vary somewhat, many patients experience minimal discomfort with the SlimLipo procedure. Local anesthesia is often the best choice, which allows you to stay awake during the procedure and get back to a normal routine quicker.
