SmartLipo Liposuction

Dr. Melanie Carreon has provided Smartlipo to over 600 patients. It is sometimes called Smartlipo Tumescent Liposuction, meaning the patient remains awake as the tissues are infiltrated with local anesthetic. She is the first physician, in Texas, to offer the Cynosure 46 watt MPX Laser to patients. It is the "fastest and most powerful" Smartlipo MPX laser so far and it helps tighten the overlying skin. Seguin is accessible quite readily for patients in Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio.
