SlimLipo also a good option for lower tummy fat with no loose skin

Brooke R. Seckel, MD answers: Smart Lipo or mini-tummy tuck?

I'm 33 years old and have three kids all naturally birthed (no c-section).  I am 5 feet tall, 120lbs and in my lower abdomen I have some pockets of fat. It's noticeable when I sit down, it's not saggy, but it certainly doesn't look good.

Do you think I would be a better candidate for Smart Lipo or for a mini tummy tuck?

If you really only have fat deposits and no loose skin on your lower abdomen then laser Assisted Liposuction is a good alternative.

laser assisted liposuction should alsways be done woith Tumescence-results are better-and aspiration of the fat(required by FDA).

The benefit of the laser over non-laser lipo is the skin tightening.

I have had excellent rsults using SlimLipo a newer laser assisted lipo product. There are many technologies to choose from.
