Photo Journey Through Smartlipo Triplex™ MPX™
Many of her patients come in for body sculpting and look to her to define and refine their figures, rather than de-bulk them of fat. Dr. Petti sculpts the fat in body areas that are, in many instances, genetically determined and controlled pockets of fat that plague patients for a lifetime.
As one of the first surgeons on the West Coast performing Smartlipo Triplex™, Dr. Petti has a passion for liposuction and takes pride in achieving her goal of producing the best possible outcome for each patient. Dr. Petti and her patients live by her motto, "What a difference a day of Smartlipo Triplex™ can make!", since many of them are at or near their ideal body weight and have spent a lifetime dreaming of making the change that her Smartlipo Triplex™ procedure creates-in hours.

Why Smartlipo Triplex™?
Tighter Skin
Smartlipo Triplex™ allows more complete melting of the fat using advanced MultiPlex (MPX) laser techniques, in which two wavelengths of laser energy are used for not only superior sculpting of the fat, but also, the biggest advancement in liposuction surgery-skin tightening. The MPX Smartlipo Triplex™ is unique in that it gives Dr. Petti the opportunity to focus on skin tightening following fat reduction, and this produces smoother, more natural and superior aesthetic results.
Minimal Recovery Time
Smartlipo Triplex™ can be done under local anesthesia, and therefore patients are ambulatory following the procedure, with no downtime. In fact, it would be more accurate to describe Smartlipo Triplex™ under local anesthesia, as being associated with "up" time! This has been very rewarding for the patients, Dr. Petti and her staff.
Minimally Invasive
The Smartlipo Triplex™ is a minimally-invasive laser surgical technique, performed by using a smaller-than-a-fine-point-pen fiber optic laser. Therefore, the entry points in the skin are very small and leave an inconspicuous scar. The laser wavelengths close down the blood vessels, so the result is associated with not only minimal surgical trauma, but also minimal bruising, swelling and resultant quick recovery. There is minimal discomfort, and Dr. Petti's patients often tell her that they did not need to take any pain medications the evening of surgery. The Smartlipo Triplex™ patients that have local anesthesia can drive the next day if they are off of pain medications, and can return to their normal daily activities in one to two days after surgery, depending on each individual patient.

Targets Unwanted Pockets of Fat
Smartlipo Triplex™ can also be used to treat larger areas of fat accumulation, or multiple areas of fatty deposits. However, in these cases the patient may need to have general anesthesia. It is normal in these patients for the recovery to be longer. Some patients may prefer to have several areas treated at one surgical setting. These patients are done in her private, ambulatory plastic surgery center under the guidance and supervision of board-certified and experienced anesthesiologists.

A Final Thought
I've been fairly athletic most of my life but have always had some stubborn belly fat that just wouldn't go away. I've considering liposuction on my abdomen for the last several years but I needed to get back to work within a few days so traditional liposuction with general anesthesia was not an option for me. Dr. Petti suggested Smartlipo Triplex™ on my upper and lower abdomen with local anesthesia and minimal down time. Dr. Petti called me personally the day after my procedure to check on my recovery and in addition to my follow-up visits, my phone calls to her nurses to discuss my progress were all handled promptly and professionally. Thank you Dr. Petti for the smooth Smartlipo Triplex™ experience (pun intended).
