Louisville SmartLipo Surgeon – Laser Liposuction – Dr. Lee Corbett
Dr. Lee Corbett is skilled in a variety of liposuction techniques and is a talented Louisville SmartLipo provider. SmartLipo is laser-assisted liposuction in which heat energy is used to assist in the removal of fat as well as stimulate the production of collagen for an aesthetically pleasing skin appearance. Dr. Corbett is pleased to provide this minimally invasive body sculpting technique to his SmartLipo Louisville patients who have struggled to rid themselves of nagging fat deposits from their abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks and other areas.
SmartLipo in Louisville: Is It for Me?
SmartLipo may be for you if you are near your ideal body weight but are bothered by exercise-resistant fat in specific areas of your body, including the abdomen, hips, thighs, "love handles," "saddle bags," arms, neck and under the chin. SmartLipo in Louisville is often combined with other procedures, such as arm lift or tummy tuck.
Goals of Surgery
SmartLipo is not a weight loss procedure. The goal of surgery is to create a slimmer, more symmetrical and curvaceous body figure by eliminating pockets of fat from beneath the skin. Unlike traditional liposuction, SmartLipo also results in tighter skin in the treated areas due to the application of laser energy, which stimulates collagen production.
Where Does the Surgery Take Place?
Dr. Corbett performs SmartLipo procedures in the hospital.
Incisions
The incisions for SmartLipo are the same as those for traditional liposuction. They are usually about 3 to 5 millimeters in length and are typically placed along natural skin creases where they are easily hidden.
Anesthesia
General anesthesia or IV sedation will be used for your SmartLipo procedure.
Surgery Time
Your time in surgery will depend on the number and size of your treatment areas. Dr. Corbett will provide you with a time estimate during your consultation.
Hospital Stay
SmartLipo is usually performed on an outpatient basis. However, Louisville SmartLipo patients who have multiple body areas treated, or who combine SmartLipo with other procedures, sometimes opt for an overnight hospital stay.
Recovery
Results of SmartLipo are typically evident 1 week after treatment and continue to improve over the next few weeks and months as the increased collagen production beings to have a skin-tightening effect. You should be able to resume your normal daily activities within 1 week, but your ability to exercise will be restricted for 6 weeks.
Follow-Up
Expect to visit Dr. Corbett's plastic surgery Louisville offices 2 to 4 times after surgery.
Complications
As with any other type of surgery, complications can occur following SmartLipo treatment. It is important to become fully informed of all possible complications during your consultation with Dr. Corbett.
Fees
The cost of SmartLipo ranges from $2,500 to $4,500. The price variation takes into account the range and size of the treatment area(s). This price also includes the Hospital Costs, Anesthesia Fees and Surgeon's Fees. The consultation is complimentary.

Board-certified with years of experience...
I researched and interviewed several surgeons for my procedure. I was scared and unsure when I stated the process and Dr. Corbett made me feel comfortable and at ease.
