Q: Liposuction vs. SmartLipo - which is better? asked by Dscheffter melbourne, florids

A:

 Smart Lipo is not so smart. It hurts longer because the fat in the protective sheaths around nerves is also melted.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons already has reviewed the subject and decided that there is no long term difference in skin tightness.

Check out my blog post below about a patient who had smart lipo, and a video explaining why I prefer Tumescent with small cannulae.
