Liposuction Not a Good Option if You are Obese

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.
