Liposuction can be helpful in reducing the Muffin Top

A great solution
SmartLipo MPX is a good option for the muffin top. I typically perform liposuction with or without Smartlipo MPX depending upon the patient. Smartlipo becomes important for those patients with difficult to remove fat, but not everyone needs the laser portion.
Make sure you seek out a qualified and experienced liposuction surgeon to fully assess and discuss your needs before scheduling to make sure it is the best treatment for you

Liposuction (ANY type, not just laser-assisted liposuction like SmartLipo) can remove extra fat from nearly any body area, including the muffin top. Laser-assisted liposuction is touted by the laser companies as something that can tighten the skin, but that claim has never really been proven by any studies.

If I Have Smart Lipo Will I Lose my Muffin Top?

Muffin top treatment
If the muffin top is primarily fat than liposuction canb e helpful. If the muffin top is mostly skin, then you probably need an excision of skin.

Muffin top treated by liposuction
Every patient must be evaluated based on their unique medical history and physicalexamination but muffin tops are normally good candidates for liposuction.
