SmartLipo and other types of laser assisted liposuction may not be very smart

William Coleman III, MD answers: How much does Smart lipo cost?

Is there a flat Smart Lipo price or do you pay per area? Does the amount of fat you have taken out affect the cost of SmartLipo?

The surgical fee for liposuction varies according to body size. By the way SmartLipo and other types of laser assisted liposuction may not be very smart. Many experienced liposuction surgeons do not use lasers since it takes longer, increasing cost, and there is no scientific evidence that lasers provide additonal benefit. Worse yet, I am now seeing severe complications from laser assisted liposuction performed by doctors who learned this at a company sponsored weekend seminar.

As always, it is best to choose a properly trained doctor with many years of experience.
