Vaser High Definition After Smart Lipo MPX?

I recentley had my full abdomen and flanks done with Smart Lipo MPX. It has been 2 weeks and I haven't achieved any of the results I expected. I actually feel more swollen. I would like to get Vaser High Definition because I heard it gives you more definition. Is it safe for me to have Vaser done now or should I wait and for how long? Will it make a difference?

A: It will take at least one month to see 90+ % of your results after SmartLipo MPX

You need to be patient to see the final results of your SmartLipo MPX treatment.  It may me more difficult to do Vaser High Definition treatment following SmartLipo MPX  depending on how aggressively the fat was treated with the laser.  You could have some dermal fibrosis or scarring in the fat that could make a secondary procedure more difficult.  Check back the the doctor who did your procedure to get his/her recommendations.  If he/she is an expert with lots of experience, he/she will know what to do for you.

Is the New Smartlipo Better Than Older Technology?

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?

A: It's not the laser, it's the doctor who make the most difference.

Good technology is only as good as the doctor operating the device.  Don't shop technology as much as doing due deligence on the doctor who will perform the procedure.  The SmartLipo MPX is powerful with three different wavelengths of laser light.  This provides lots of potential for doing good and for doing harm.  It depends on the skill of the doctor.  It's not the paint, it's the artist that make a difference.

Possible Nerve Damage from Smart Lipo MPX

I had Liposuction with Laser MPX (Smart Lipo MPX) in my hip area. It has been almost 6 months and I am still in discomfort. I'm experiencing tingling senations, numbness, and pain when the area is touched. I am afraid my doctor hit some nerves. Can this be nerve damage, and if so, will it ever get better?

A: Check back with the doctor who did the procedure.

Check back with the doctor who did the procedure.  You may also want to get a second opinion from a nuerologist.
