Liposuction

It makes no difference. The important thing is the surgeon and the patient he/she is operating on not type of liposuction. One of my conventional old fashioned liposuction patients went for a smart-lipo treatment she was sold on.

Smart Lipo may not be so smart

Smart or smarter lipo for hips - does the laser matter?

In a recent survey more than 90% of board certified plastic surgeons saw no significant benefit to the use of laser with liposuction. There is nothing about it that makes the procedure safer, in fact it carries an increased risk of burns and scarring.

SmartLipo very effective with low risk

We have found SmartLipo to be a very effective treatment for the hips, with very low risk to the patient. If the skin is not loose, then conventional liposuction may be adequate.
