What is Smartlipo Triplex?
Smartlipo is a liposuction technique that uses laser energy to melt away fat cells. Instead of the cannula used in traditional liposuction, Smartlipo utilizes a small laser tip to liquify fat cells for easier removal. Smartlipo offers the same fat removal and sculpting benefits as traditional liposuction, with additional benefits like skin tightening and less trauma on the body. Smartlipo can be used in the same areas as traditional liposuction to remove pockets of stubborn fat that are resistant to diet and exercise, as well as tighten loose skin.
Benefits of Smartlipo Triplex
Smartlipo laser-assisted liposuction may be the right body contouring treatment for you if you:
- Have stubborn fat that is resistant to diet and exercise
- Experience skin laxity in the area(s) of excess fat
- Want a minimally invasive procedure
Smartlipo Triplex can help you achieve a more toned, contoured figure without long incisions or extensive downtime. This is the preferred procedure for people seeking “normal” liposuction who can benefit from the skin tightening benefits of Smartlipo Triplex technology.
How Does Smartlipo Triplex Laser-Assisted Liposuction Work?
This laser-assisted liposuction procedure is functionally similar to the traditional liposuction process but utilizes a special device outfitted with a laser fiber that delivers high-frequency energy to the treatment area. Smartlipo Triplex is capable of delivering three specific wavelengths to encourage fat dissolution and tissue coagulation through thermal energy. Dr. Kayastha monitors the temperature of the tissue during the procedure to ensure it remains constant and at the right level to produce the best results.
Dr. Kayastha is a board certified plastic surgeon who serves Albany, NY and the entire Capital Region. Dr. Kayastha completed his undergraduate studies at Cornell University and graduated with distinction in all subjects. He then attended medical school at SUNY Buffalo. During his time in Buffalo he also completed a fellowship in surgical pathology at Roswell Park. Following medical school Dr. Kayastha gained a much sought after position in the Michigan State-Grand Rapids integrated plastic surgery residency. After finishing residency training Dr. Kayastha completed a one year fellowship in hand and microsurgery at the Buncke Clinic in San Francisco. To round out his training before starting private practice Dr. Kayastha spent an additional 6 months learning from some of the best cosmetic surgeons in San Francisco. Dr. Kayastha is Board Certified in Plastic Surgery by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

Who is a Candidate for SmartLipo?
Those who are candidates for traditional liposuction are likely also candidates for Smartlipo as well. People who are within their ideal weight range and are having trouble removing stubborn fat from areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, upper arms, and under the chin can benefit from Smartlipo Triplex.
While traditional liposuction is best for those with good skin elasticity in the treatment area, Smartlipo can be better for those with mild to moderate skin laxity in their stubborn fat areas. Smartlipo Triplex offers a two-in-one solution to the most common causes of poor contour.
The best way to know if you're a candidate for this highly effective procedure is to schedule a consultation with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sanjiv Kayastha in Albany, NY.
What to Expect From the Smartlipo Triplex Process
After having a consultation with Dr. Kayastha and deciding that this liposuction procedure is the right one for your unique desires and condition, you will schedule a day to have the procedure. On that day, Dr. Kayastha will first mark the area requiring treatment and provide a local anesthetic. He will also inject a tumescent solution in the area to prepare it for the procedure and provide additional anesthetic. Smartlipo does not have to be performed under general anesthesia
During the procedure, Dr. Kayastha makes tiny incisions through which he inserts the Smartlipo device and moves it throughout the treatment area. Depending on the amount of liposuction needed and the number of areas being treated, this procedure can take two or more hours. Patients report experiencing less pain and discomfort during Smartlipo compared to traditional liposuction.
Recovering from Smartlipo takes a few days, meaning you should expect to need to take time off work. Patients typically return to work in two to three days and can do more strenuous activity after about a week and a half. Swelling and bruising will dissipate over the following few weeks, and as your tissues settle and adjust to their new figure, you’ll start to see your long-lasting results within a few months.
