SmartLipo Alternative
Laser lipo melts fat with a heated fiber. Dr. Grossman, who worked with Smart Lipo for years, now uses microcannula liposuction for smoother, more predictable thighs and hips.
SmartLipo for Thighs is a laser-assisted way to reduce fat on the inner and outer thighs and hips. Dr. Leonard Grossman, who has performed liposuction since 1993, offers patients a different route: microcannula power-assisted liposuction under local anesthesia, through tiny entry points designed to minimize scarring, with no stitches and no compression garments. Most patients are back at work the next day and at the gym within about three days.
How Dr. Grossman contours hips and thighs: precise fat removal first, tightening or a lift only when the skin needs it.
Laser lipo melts fat with a heated fiber. Dr. Grossman, who worked with Smart Lipo for years, now uses microcannula liposuction for smoother, more predictable thighs and hips.
Inner thighs, inner knees, saddlebags and hips sculpted under local tumescent anesthesia through tiny incisions that need no stitches and keep scarring minimal, with no compression garments afterward.
For loose skin after weight loss, his inner thigh lift removes excess skin and fat, tightens the fascia and redrapes the tissue, with no drain tubes.
Many patients ask for SmartLipo for Thighs because it was marketed as easier. After years of experience with laser liposuction, Dr. Leonard Grossman moved away from it: the heat that melts fat can also injure nerves, vessels and lymphatics, and in his experience results are less predictable. He sculpts thighs and hips with fine microcannulas instead, in a warm operating room without general anesthesia, and finishes with you standing so both sides match as closely as your anatomy allows.
His liposuction gallery includes saddlebag, hip and outer thigh liposuction with results shown three years after surgery.
A protocol Dr. Grossman calls The Smarter Liposuction, refined over three decades of body contouring.
Fine cannulas on a power-assisted device remove thigh fat evenly, without laser heat spreading to nerves and vessels.
Your thighs are checked with you standing at a mirror: “We are NOT finished until you tell us that you have achieved your goal.”
He skips pressure garments, which he believes can cause indentations and uneven results, so the skin can shrink naturally.
Surgery is performed in his AAAHC-accredited Brooklyn center, and most patients go home minutes after leaving the operating room.

SmartLipo for Thighs is laser-assisted liposuction, in which a heated laser fiber melts thigh fat before it is suctioned out. After years of experience with Smart Lipo, Dr. Grossman moved away from it, because in his experience the laser also affects nerves, blood vessels and lymphatics, adding swelling and recovery time. For thighs he now relies on microcannula power-assisted liposuction, which he finds more precise and predictable.
