Liposuction of any type is not a good substitute for weight loss.  If you are significantly over your ideal body weight there are many downsides to liposuction such as skin irregularity, bleeding, fluid collections, and a poor cosmetic result.

SmartLipo MPX is a great tool, but selecting patients for the laser treatment is very similiar to selecting patients for any other type of lipo.
