As you age, your body shape changes, and it’s sometimes very difficult to lose the last several pounds that are keeping you from having the figure you desire. Body contouring through liposuction can help you get the shape you want, but can’t seem to get with diet and exercise. SmartLipo™ is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure that uses laser-assisted technology that destroys fat cells with less trauma and shorter recovery periods than traditional liposuction.
SmartLipo™ advances the field of liposuction through the following benefits:
SmartLipo™ uses a special laser-tip surgical instrument that causes less nerve, tissue, and blood vessel disruption, resulting in less trauma. The area to be treated is cleaned and then marked by Dr. Kole. Most patients typically require only local anesthesia for SmartLipo™, which provides a much quicker recovery period and less risk associated with general anesthetic use.
After the anesthesia sets in, a very slim cannula (tube) is inserted into the skin in the area to be treated, and a small laser-tip fiber located in the cannula targets and liquefies the fatty deposits causing the unwanted fat bulges. The cannula is moved through the area until all fat deposits are destroyed, and the remaining liquid is either expressed out through the body’s natural systems or is suctioned out through a small suction cannula.
Since the laser causes nearby blood vessels to coagulate immediately, there is significantly less bleeding with SmartLipo™. The entire treatment usually takes less than an hour to perform, and more than one area can be treated in the same session.
SmartLipo™ utlizes a cannula that is smaller than the cannula used in traditional liposuction. The laser in the SmartLipo™ cannula liquifies fat making it easier to remove. The laser also coagulates the blood vessels immediately on contact to reduce bleeding. This results in less swelling, bleeding, and bruising allowing a quicker recovery and reduced risk. Local anesthesia is used instead of general anesthesia. Pateints avoid risk and the groggy washed out feeling often associated with general anesthesia.
Because SmartLipo™ is less invasive than traditional liposuction, there is less downtime. You may or may not experience temporary discomfort or minor bruising after the procedure, but it will resolve within several days. We recommend only one or two days off of work, and usually most patients are able to return to work the next day. Dr. Kole recommends waiting two weeks before resuming any strenuous activity.
As the swelling and bruising resolves, you’ll begin to notice the effects of the SmartLipo™ treatment. For best results, more than one treatment might be necessary depending on how much total fat you wish to have removed. The effects will be permanent but can be affected by dramatic weight gain or loss and regular aging effects.
Costs associated with SmartLipo™ are unique for each individual and are determined by the area that needs work and the amount of fat to be removed. Dr. Kole and his friendly staff will sit down with you to discuss your options and expectations and the costs associated with SmartLipo™.
The Kole Plastic Surgery Center Center accepts cash, check, and credit card (MasterCard, Visa, American Express, Discover) as acceptable forms of payment.
Financing is also available through CareCredit, United Medical Credit, and Advanced Care.
The best candidates for SmartLipo™ are women and men who are not significantly overweight but have accumulated fat deposits in their abdominal area, love handles, bra area, male chest, inner or outer thighs, upper arms, or neck.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
