Safety and Complications
SmartLipo MPX is an extremely safe procedure. The SmartLipo MPX procedure was approved by the FDA in November of 2006, and a serious life-threatening complication has never resulted from SmartLipo MPX. That is because SmartLipo MPXis performed under local anesthetic—not the much more risky general anesthesia. SmartLipo has been performed thousands of times since being brought to North America in 2005 and has shown itself to be one of the safest cosmetic surgeries available.
The SmartLipo MPX procedure is safer than traditional liposuction because there is minimal bleeding and minimal invasion. In addition, only local anesthetic drugs are used in the SmartLipo MPX procedure. There are no extensive stitches or incisions to possibly get infected, and no lengthy hospital stays are required. SmartLipo MPX is an outpatient procedure that is one of the safest and fastest-growing cosmetic surgery options available today.
