Tags: fat reduction, volume

I had SmartLipo a week ago today and I'm very nervous waiting on the results. I can see some but hopefully when I go for my 2-week follow-up and see the before and after pics I will feel better. I am 5 8' and about 175. I was working out all the time, I had gone to boot camp 3x, spent so much money on personal trainers and I felt like there is nothing else for me to do and yes diet pills!!! How much is a good amount of fat to lose when you have smart lipo?

However, Vaser is just another tool and is only as good as  the training of your doctor.

Sometimes doctors will debulk large quantities of fat with other types of liposuction and combine it with Smartlipo to get both effects.

SmartLipo for weight loss

Smart Lipo is not the technique for removing large amounts of fat or for weight loss. For smaller areas of fat deposits and for tightening the skin overlying the areas of liposuction most surgeons use laser liposuction.  For example, neck and jowls represent one of those areas. However, if the area treated with liposuction is larger and requires more tissue removed, many surgeons would use tumescent or power liposuction to remove the major volume and then they use laser... more
