Preparing for Your Laser Liposuction Consultation

Your consultation is the first step toward achieving your body contouring goals. At Gentle Revive in Lindon, Utah, we offer complimentary consultations where you can meet our physicians, discuss your concerns, and learn whether SmartLipo is right for you. Here is everything you need to know to make the most of your visit.

What Happens During Your Consultation

Your consultation at Gentle Revive typically lasts 30-45 minutes and is completely free with no obligation. Here is what you can expect during your visit:

Discussion of Your Goals

We will begin by listening to you. What areas concern you? What would you like to change? What does your ideal outcome look like? This is your opportunity to share your vision, and we encourage you to be completely open and honest about your goals and expectations.

Physical Examination

One of our physicians will examine the areas you would like to address. This allows us to assess your skin quality, the amount and distribution of fat, and your overall candidacy for the procedure. We respect your privacy and comfort throughout this process.

Treatment Recommendations

Based on your goals and our examination, we will provide honest recommendations. If SmartLipo is appropriate for you, we will explain exactly what the procedure involves, what results you can expect, and what the recovery will be like. If we believe another approach would better serve you, we will tell you that as well.

Review of Before and After Photos

We will show you before and after photos of patients with similar concerns and body types. This helps set realistic expectations and gives you a visual understanding of the results SmartLipo can achieve.

Discussion of Cost and Scheduling

We will provide transparent pricing for your recommended treatment and discuss financing options if desired. If you decide to proceed, we can often schedule your procedure within a few weeks.

Questions to Ask During Your Consultation

Coming prepared with questions ensures you get all the information you need. Here are some important questions to consider:

• Am I a good candidate for laser liposuction?
• How many laser liposuction procedures have you performed?
• What results can I realistically expect for my specific concerns?
• How much fat can be safely removed from my target areas?
• Will my skin tighten adequately, or might I need additional procedures?
• What is the recovery timeline for my specific treatment?
• What are the potential risks and complications?
• What is included in the cost of the procedure?
• Do you offer financing options?
• What should I do to prepare for the procedure?

How to Prepare for Your Visit

To make the most of your consultation, here are a few preparation tips:

Wear Comfortable Clothing

Choose clothing that is easy to change in and out of. For abdominal consultations, two-piece outfits are helpful. For arm or thigh consultations, shorts and a tank top work well.

Bring Photos If Helpful

If you have photos that illustrate your concerns or show your goal aesthetic, feel free to bring them. This can help us understand exactly what you are hoping to achieve.

Write Down Your Questions

It is easy to forget questions in the moment. Write them down beforehand so you do not leave with unanswered concerns.

Bring a Support Person If Desired

You are welcome to bring a spouse, partner, or friend to your consultation. Having a second set of ears can be helpful, and their support may be valuable as you make your decision.

Prepare Your Medical History

Be ready to discuss your medical history, including any previous surgeries, current medications, allergies, and chronic conditions. This information helps us ensure your safety and determine your candidacy.

What We Look for in Ideal Candidates

While each person is evaluated individually, ideal candidates for SmartLipo typically share certain characteristics:

• Within 25 pounds of their ideal body weight
• Have localized fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
• Are in good general health with no serious medical conditions
• Have realistic expectations about results
• Non-smokers or willing to quit before and after the procedure
• Have good skin elasticity (though laser liposuction can improve mild laxity)

Our No-Pressure Philosophy

At Gentle Revive, we believe in providing information and allowing you to make the decision that is right for you. We never pressure patients to proceed with treatment. Your consultation is about education and exploration, not sales. We want you to feel completely confident in your decision, whether that means scheduling a procedure or deciding it is not the right time. Learn more about our doctors and philosophy.
