Dr. Doyle shows compassion and patience in making sure that all patients are comfortable before, during, and after each procedure.
What is SmartLipo?
SmartLipo is a unique technology that safely delivers three laser wavelengths to permanently destroy fat cells and inspire total confidence. Like liposuction, SmartLipo removes fat from underneath the skin, shrinking body volume and shedding excess tissue. Unlike conventional liposuction, SmartLipo works beyond simple fat removal. The heat produced from the laser stimulates collagen, resulting in tighter, smoother looking skin.
Dr. Doyle is able to achieve remarkable body sculpting results with little, if any, downtime. Patients typically see results within two weeks and can be back to work the very next day. Patients will see optimal results within two to three months.
Am I a Candidate?
SmartLipo is perfect for patients who have collected unwanted fat deposits or “bulges.” Because SmartLipo not only removes fat, but also tightens and contours the body, it can dramatically improve overall body shape. Frequently treated areas include the neck, chest (it’s great for male breast enlargement), arms, abdomen, love handles, “back fat,” and thighs.

What Can I Expect During Treatment?
Depending on the number of areas being treated, the treatment can take an average of one to three hours and can be done with local anesthesia.
This laser-assisted lipolysis procedure utilizes a small tube (or cannula) about the size of the tip of a pen. This small cannula is inserted beneath the skin through a tiny incision where the laser can directly target fat. As the laser attacks these fat cells they are damaged and the remaining liquefied fat is gently suctioned out.
The SmartLipo system’s small laser also seals blood vessels as it zaps fat, minimizing any bruising, bleeding, or swelling.
Dramatic results are achieved with only one treatment and can be seen within a week, with continued improvement over three to six months. Most patients are able to return to normal activities within a day or two, and every student, parent, and professional knows how valuable time is.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I lose weight before having SmartLipo?
SmartLipo is best suited for people who are close to their ideal weight but struggle with fat deposits that don’t respond to diet or exercise. It is not a weight-loss procedure, but rather a body-contouring treatment. If you are significantly overweight, Dr. Doyle may recommend losing weight first or another procedure.
Is there scarring after SmartLipo?
Because SmartLipo is minimally invasive, incisions are typically just a few millimeters long and are strategically placed in inconspicuous areas. In most cases, any scars fade over time and become barely noticeable.
Will I have bruising or swelling after SmartLipo?
Yes, some bruising and swelling are common after SmartLipo, but they are generally less severe than with traditional liposuction. Most patients see improvement within a few days to weeks, with swelling continuing to subside as the body heals. Wearing compression garments as directed will help reduce these side effects and speed recovery.
What happens if I gain weight after SmartLipo?
If you gain weight after your SmartLipo procedure, the remaining fat cells may expand, which can affect your overall contour. Staying healthy is the most effective way to sustain your results in the long term.
