SmartLipo For Lipoma Removal?
Lipomas can be removed with any type of liposuction and SmartLipo is no exception. However, the chance of the lipoma returning is high if the entire mass is not removed. The only way to assure this is to do a surgical excision. This can be done through a small incision but a scar will result. Ask your plastic surgeon exactly where he would put the scar and how inconspicuous it will be.

Lipomas can be treated with Smartlipo
Lipomas can be treated with Smartlipo but traditionally, they are just excised. Excision leaves a larger scar on the skin surface, but less risk of recurrence. Smartlipo is more expensive, leads to less surface scarring, but has a higher recurrence rate.

Smartlipo Probing Of Lipomas
The traditional removal of lipomas is surgical excision. This works because it gets rid of the entire lipoma and its capsule.

Lipoma
The use of traditional liposuction has been around for a long time. Smart lipo could be used as well. The advantage fo using any lipo is the small icision. However the disadvantage is the high recurrance rate. In order to get a permanent fix the capsule of the lipoma mustst be removed. This hard to do with liposuction but, easy with surgery, Surgery requires a longer incision.

No such thing as smart pro mix
You may wish to elaborate and specify exactly what you are asking as there is no such thing as smart pro mix. You are most likely referring to Smartlipo. Any type of liposuction can reduce or debunk a lipo but will not cure it or permanently remove it. Lipomas tend to recur especially with liposuction. You should definitely have at least one biopsied to confirm correct histology and once confirmed, I would recommend consulting with a plastic surgeon for management options.
