How Effective is Slim Lipo on Thighs and Flanks?

I'm scheduling Slim Lipo for inner and outer thighs, stomach, flanks. I'm 5'7" and 150 lbs.

Will I see a difference? Many say they don't see a difference is that because they are overweight? I'm normal size just have stubborn fat pockets. I hope it works.

Liposuction of the flanks, abdomen and thighs

Please understand that Slim lipo, smart lipo or any other branded lipo is no better than the surgeon using it and has never been proven to be better than traditional modified tumescent lipo. If you have specific deposits of fat with decent skin elasticity and if you go to an excellent surgeon, you should have a nice result. But don't think that the Slim lipo instrumentation is going to make the result better if the surgeon is not a great sculptor.

SlimLipo results and expectations

SlimLipo can certainly be used to enhance your results in areas that are suitable for liposuction.

SlimLipo is effective on thighs and flanks if performed by a skilled, experienced surgeon

The most important factor in the success of any liposuction procedure is the skill and experience of your surgeon. SlimLipo laser assisted liposuction is a very useful adjunct to liposuction. The laser melts the fat, making removal less traumatic using smaller cannulae. The heat produced by the laser also helps tighten skin after fat removal. In my experience-3 years-I developed the machine-I have observed uniform smooth skin after SlimLipo laser liposuction -a remarkable advantage.... more

Slim Lipo on thighs and flanks

As Dr. Rand mentioned, any type of liposuction is only as good as the doctor using it. In my practice, I determine the type of liposuction I use on a case-by-case basis after talking with my patient at length and after a thorough exam. I've utilized Slim lipo since February of this year and have been very encouraged by the outcomes I've been seeing. Without seeing your exact anatomy, it's difficult to project the degree of improvement you would obtain, but my best guess from your decription... more
