Is Body Jet Liposuction As Effective As Smart Lipo?
We use both Smart Lipo and Body Jet in our practice. Both methods are very effective in removing fat. We call our procedure Aqualipo. We combine both technologies on many of our cases.

Bodyjet and Smartlipo effective in different ways

Alternatively, I like bodyjet for removal of larger fatty deposits and for collecting fat for transfer, such as into the buttocks.

In my practice, this has significantly improved our outcomes, and it has dramatically decreased revision rates.
The even more important advantage that the jet harvest...

Smartlipo ve body jet
Smartlipo may tighten the skin. I am not overly convinced that it is any better than more traditional forms of liposuction. Body jet uses a misting jet of water as it is infused and performs liposuction. It may help get rid of loose tissue, but there is no scientific evidence yet that I know of to support the theories.
