Hi there-
You didn't specify which technique was used in your first procedure, which left you with the dents and irregularities you are unhappy with, but your question raises several concerns in my mind.
Most importantly, it concerns me that despite the fact that you have experienced a poor outcome from one body contouring procedure, that you are still interested in selecting a corrective procedure based on the machine the surgeon would use.
Having had a bad outcome, you should understand better than most that the outcome really depends on the surgeon holding the tool, NOT the machine itself. An experienced and skilled surgeon certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery will be able to deliver reliably good outcomes regardless of the machine in their hands- conversely, even with the best tools, an unskilled and poorly trained provider will not be able to give you a good outcome.
In my region, most providers of "Smartlipo" or "Cool lipo" are NOT board certified plastic surgeons, but eye doctors or gynecologists who "learned" how to do liposuction in a weekend or over a month with the salesman from the company. These devices have never been shown to be more effective than the technology we already had, claims of skin tightening (beyond what is seen with other, safer and less expensive options) has never been substantiated, and the fact that the laser tip burns whatever you point it at make these options LESS favorable in my mind. And bear in mind that as a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, I am able to use whatever tool I think is best for my patient's outcomes.
If you want to avoid further dissatisfaction, I would forget the idea that you should be looking for a particular technique or machine, and instead start looking for the right surgeon. Remember- it's the artist, NOT his brushes, that creates the art!
