Smart Lipo: Q&A
Ask a QuestionWhich Has Better Results and Less Scarring? LipoLite or SmartLipo?

Almost all forms of laser liposuctions have a higher risk of scarring than tumescent liposuction with micro canulas.

This is why laser liposuctions are becoming less used by docs who specialize in liposuction. It is the surgeon's expertise that is the most important.

Which is Better?
These are two brand names of competing laserlipo systems.

Which Has Better Results and Less Scarring? LipoLite or SmartLipo?
You are speaking of brands of equipment. It is the surgeon that gets the results and excellent results can be obtained by any type of liposuction. Best to spend your time looking for a good surgeon and let him worry about what type of equipment he likes to use.

LipoLite vs. Smartlipo
The starting point is to find a physician or facility who has the requisite skills, experience, expertise, and undersanding of your objectives. Both Lipolite and SmartLipo can create good results in the right hands, and no or poor results in the wrong hands. Smartlipo has a better record between the two modalities.
