Laser liposuction is a procedure that removes excess fat and tightens skin at the same time. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Shim Ching has more than 10 years of experience performing liposuction and was the first to offer laser liposuction (or laser lipo) in Hawaii. He performs laser liposuction with the Smartlipo® system in his Honolulu facilities because its laser wavelengths specifically target fat and optimally tighten skin.

Board Certification Shim Ching, MD

Dr. Ching is board-certified in plastic surgery and believes it’s crucial for patients to understand the importance behind this distinction. Any licensed medical doctor can claim to be a plastic surgeon. Despite the training they may or may not have, they are able to perform surgeries. Medical practice areas have a board that certifies doctors in their specific field. To become certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, you must first complete a residency in plastic surgery, then pass a written examination, and finally an oral certifying exam.

Smartlipo Laser Liposuction Treatment Areas

Smartlipo can be used to reduce those troublesome fat deposits that have been resistant to your diet and exercise regimen. Dr. Ching uses this extremely versatile treatment on almost any area of the body, including smaller areas that can’t be treated with traditional liposuction alone. Here are a few of the areas that are commonly treated with laser lipo:

  • Hips (love handles)
  • Waist
  • Neck
  • Chin (sagging or double chin)
  • Thighs (both inner & outer thighs)
  • Buttocks
  • Abdomen
  • Upper Arms
  • Breasts (for scarless male or female breast reduction)
  • Back
  • Ankles
  • Knees

Laser lipo is not a weight loss treatment or a substitute for diet and exercise. Instead, it is a powerful way to reduce areas of body fat that are resistant to normal means.

Advantages of Smartlipo

This remarkable cosmetic procedure is extremely popular with women and men from Oahu, Kauai, Maui, and beyond because it offers many benefits and advantages over traditional liposuction alone, including:

  • Skin tightening
  • Quick recovery time
  • Minimal discomfort
  • Precise treatment of small areas
  • Short treatment time

How Smartlipo Works

While the most important factors that lead to a positive laser liposuction outcome are the experience, skill, and knowledge of the surgeon, the technology makes a difference as well. The Smartlipo laser uses wavelengths that selectively target fat and tighten the skin. The thin Smartlipo cannula contains a laser fiber that melts targeted fat cells.

How Long Is Recovery From Laser Lipo?

Some patients return to work the day after their laser lipo treatment; others may need another 24 to 48 hours before getting back to their normal schedules. This typical recovery period is still a dramatic change from that for conventional liposuction.

Dr. Ching was the 1st in Hawaii to Offer Laser Liposuction


It makes sense that Dr. Ching was the first in Hawaii to provide laser liposuction; he is committed to learning and providing the latest, safest plastic surgery procedures to his patients.

Although he was first, Dr. Ching did extensive research into both laser liposuction as well as the technology for providing it before offering it to clients. This was not a quick decision, but rather one made on the procedure’s benefits and Dr. Ching’s ability to deliver them. When making your choice in laser liposuction, you must be informed of the issues involved. The above are some of the reasons why Dr. Ching offers a laser lipo procedure that is unmatched in Hawaii.
