Permanent Fat Removal from Abdominal and Thigh Area?

I had the traditional Liposuction when I was 32 years of age. On my upper thighs only. I was not satisfied with the results. It was very uneven and fat loss concentrated in certain areas only.

Now 47, I would like to remove abdominal and thigh fat with a better procedure. No Smart Lipo. I seem to find you very knowledgeable. Any ideas would be great.

Thanks,
Lisa

Liposuction and technique

Liposuctioning and plastic surgery in general is very operator dependant. So it really is not the tool but a good board certified plastic surgeon to help you achieve your desires. The instrument helps the surgeon achieve what the surgeon desires but in no way is it the end all. Smart lipo is not magic and in my opinion it is no better than traditional liposuction. Having said that, I feel that smart lipo is advantages in the submental (neck) liposuctioning. Good luck.
