Am I a Smart Lipo Candidate?

I have always had issues with weight and after I had my daughter 9 years ago. It got worse. I am getting married in June and have recently lost 35 pounds. I am 31, 5'1 and weight now 153 pounds. I was 179 at one point. I went from a size 14 to a size 8. I still have a horrid midsection. I always had a stomach even when I was in my twenties and thin. I heard about Smart Lipo and heard all the good stories and a few bad ones. Is Smart Lipo for me?
