Brian K. Brzowski, MD answers: Ultrashape with Smart Lipo or Tumescent Lipo?

Which is better for the belly area with excess skin, Ultrashape with Smart Lipo or Tumescent Liposuction ? What are the pros and cons of each procedure?

I still don't quite understand why people would shop for a tool before picking the carpenter. This procedure is so dependent upon the surgeon, that I'd much rather worry with the "who" than the "what." 

The analogy to Michelangelo is one I use often, "My 12 year old with a high tech, ubertitanium, digitally controlled hammer and chisel will never achieve what Michelangelo can with plain cold steel."

I agree with the other replies: choose a board certified plastic surgeon with YEARS of training and experience. They'll recommend the tool for you.
