Smart Lipo or VASER Liposelection for Losing Inches on Abdomen and Waist

I am a 38 year old female with a small frame 5'3 and weighs 185lbs. I carry most of my weight in my stomach.

Consider the VASER liposuction for more effective body contouring

I have found that laser lipolysis such as Smart Lipo is only effective in treating very small volumes of fat and inconsistent with skin tightening.

Laser Lipo VS VASER for losing inches from abdomen and waist

At its best, Laser liposuction (SmartLipo, ProLipo, SlimLipo etc) is BEST suited for removing very SMALL fat collection and tightening the overlying skin.

For your condition, the answer is - VASER Liposelection / Liposuction. Dr. P. Aldea
