Smartlipo is a small laser, not a liposuction
The liposuction will remove the annoying little fat cells, and the smartlipo will tighten the skin and reduce sagging. They work very well together as a team in the chin/neck area.

The artful sense of volume is much more important that precisely the method used. Having said that, microcannulas provide a very effective mean to perform a very precise liposuction. Liposuction is performed by surgeons not liposuction machines. So no matter how sexy the...
