Can Smart Lipo Help Define Figure?

I am considering Smart Lipo. I am in good shape, but when I lose additional weight, my breasts and butt gets smaller, instead of my stomach and thighs.

When I drop a few pounds I begin losing my womanly figure. I am interested in Smart Lipo to remove the stubborn pockets of fat. Specifically, in the abdomen, and lower back to define the waist and in the inner thigh.

Slim Lipo and Smart Lipo can help contour your figure

Slim Lipo and Smart Lipo are devices that can help contour your figure in those stubborn pockets of fat. These technologies tend to have an advantage over traditional liposuction in that they can provide some skin tightening as well as fat reduction. Good luck!

Smart Lipo Smart Surgeon

Sounds like you have some trouble areas that would benefit from liposuction surgery. Just remember that it is not the instrument but who holds the instrument that does the surgery.

Find yourself a board certified plastic surgeon that has nice results... more

SmartLipo, ProLipo and SlimLipo laser liposuction

As you know, liposuction is NOT a cure for obesity regardless if it is performed under tumescent infiltration with either - regular (SAL) - power assisted (PAL), - ultrasound assisted (UAL - VASER Liposelection) or - by heating the fat with a laser fiber at certain light wavelengths (ProLipo, SlimLipo, SmartLipo). The SUPPOSED advantage, yet to be scientifically proven, of laser liposuction is that it can heat the fat cells and skin JUST SHORT of damaging / burning the skin to bring... more

Smart Lipo for body contouring

Your story is very common and usually makes for the best liposuction candidates. With regard to Smart Lipo, I prefer this technology for small discrete pockets of fat such as the chin and arms. Larger areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs are better treated with traditional liposuction techniques such as power-assisted liposuction. SmartLipo is very time consuming as you first have to use the laser and then use a second cannula to remove the liquified fat. Because of these two steps,... more

Laser lipolysis and diet resistant pockets of fat.

Of course this can be used to reduce or diminish these diet resistant pockets of fat. However, I do not beleive that the laser lipolysis is any better than traditional liposuction. It is my belief you can achieve comparable results with other technology.
