Stephen A. Goldstein, MD answers: Is Water Assisted Liposuction as effective as Smart Lipo?

I am scheduled to receive Water Assisted Liposuction and the Smart Lipo to help retract the skin.

Is the WAL (Water Assisted Liposuction) as effective as doing just the Smart Lipo? I can't find anyone who has had this procedure

Today, there are numerous types of liposuction body contouring procedures. Unfortunately, there is a tremendous amount of marketing hype and over-salesmanship. The most important factor is the person holding the instruments. I would strongly advise you to see a board certified/eligible plastic surgeon who is experienced in body contouring. Look at his/her credentials, experience, and outcomes. It would be advisable to talk to references. Do your homework!

I hope you find this helpful.
