the doctor i contacted about laser smartlipo said that she uses the new technology vs. older smartlipo. is it really better and worth the extra cost?
I won't get into whether laser lipo is better than other types:each has is uses as a tool and if you are interested in simulataneous skin tightening , then you should read on.
Refer to articles I wrote on RealSelf about SmartLipo. The MPX is far better than the older versions which were used for 7 years outside the USA. The MPX is design by Cynosure and adds many improvement that are important in safety and results. Now you can rad about the TPX which is even better
Five weeks ago, I had SmartLipo with the newer equipment that promotes the best skin tightening (MPX), which I see here is good.
Although my lower abdomen is flat, it has hard lumpy spots. My upper abdomen had a few hard spots and seems to have a "roll" that is still numb, tender and sore.
I was told 1100 ccs were removed, but does any of the fat affected by the laser get reabsorbed by the body or is it all suctioned out? Would this have anything to do with why I have the lumpy spots?
The large area you describe in your lower abdomen without seeing you seems to be the swelling settling with gravity. 4000cc is on the high side to be associated with Smart Lipo, but a Lipo of that magnatude would most likely have more swellling
Having done the research studies in this, the other reson to have firmness is fromm a high degree of laser energy in the fat (deep layer).
For swelling, your best treatment is compression, massage, and a treatment by a similar machine made by the Smart Lipo company called the Triactive.
You should really show this to your doctor to have them advise you what to do next
