Latest Laser Liposuction-SlimLipo Has Many Advantages
Thank you for your question. I agree the skill of your surgeon is the most important factor.
Without an understanding of Laser Physics it is hard to demonstrate the significant differences between the various machines.
However, the SlimLipo is the only Laser Liposuction machine that uses a wavelength which specifically targets fat.
See the link and video below for explanation.

Laser Liposuction Maybe More Hype than Benefit over Traditional Lipocustion
Benefits of Laser-Assisted Liposuction in my opinion are more theoretical than real.
The primary benefit of laser-assisted liposuction is that the recovery period has been touted as less painful, and you may experience less swelling and bruising. I have not seen any difference. The theory is that because the laser used to disrupt the fat cells it causes less trauma to your tissues than mechanical removal—but the surgeon still does have to get under the skin and remove the fat. It...

Latest in Laser Liposuction
The GPS Lipo-Lipocontrol laser by Osyris Medical is the latest and best liposuction device. It uses a GPS camera and a unique fat mapping device to monitor the location of the fat and the application of laser energy. This results in more even distribution of laser energy and more smoothness of final results for the patient.

Latest in laser liposuction machines and surgical results
There are a number of medical equipment manufacturers that make and market power equipment to assist in liposuction. These include laser machines (Smartlipo, Slimlipo, etc), ultrasound machines (Vaser lipo, etc.) and other types of power assisted liposuction machines.

Laser liposuction
Its the surgeon that matters not the means of the procedure. nothing can replace an expert surgeon's hand. with that said, its best to consult with your surgeon whether a certain kind of liposuction or a tummy tuck would be your better choice

The Skill of the Surgeon is BY FAR is the Most Important Factor When It Comes to Liposuction, Laser or Otherwise
Dear Suzy4527,
Thank you for your sharing your photo and questions.
1. Judging from your photo, you may be a better candidate for a tummy tuck combined with liposuction rather than liposuction alone because you have a significant amount of extra skin. If you are not concerned about having loose, sagging, extra skin and are simply interested in debulking your midsection, then liposuction alone may be appropriate.
2. I would be certain to see an experienced provider (ie. Board...

What is the Latest in #LaserLiposuction? Is There One Better Than the Other? (photo) ANS:
I agree that SlimLipo seems to be state of the art at the present time and I do use it frequently and I think is does hold some advantage in the notorious hard place to get smooth, like the tummy and inner thigh. BUT, from your picture I'm not sure you are the best candidate for it, unless you really just want to reduce the some tummy volume and are not so concerned about the loose skin...

Smartlipo is the leader in laser liposuction
Smartlipo is the industry standard in laser liposuction. There are other machines made by competitors but Smartlipo dominates the market.
Laser liposuction has it's place but I notice from your photo that you have quite a bit of extra skin on your tummy. You may be a better candidate for tummy tuck or so combination of the two.
Consult with a plastic surgeon who does that too, not just Smartlipo.
