 There are many types of "assisted liposuction" these days such as laser-assisted or ultrasound liposuction or power-assisted liposuction.  Most physicians use One type of special liposuction but not multiple. There is really no need to combine multiple types of these assisted liposuction procedures to accomplish the desired result.   Personally, I use Smartlipo in specific areas and combine it with traditional liposuction to sculpt the areas I am working on.  Using multiple types could be dangerous because it might put too much heat or energy into one area.   Using one type along with traditional liposuction, on the other hand, can be beneficial by helping to release tough to get fat or fat that is very fibrous.

The most important factor is the surgeon more than the machine so you must plan your surgery with someone who is experienced and well trained to achieve the best result.
