Velashape Vs Smart Lipo for Hips and Buttocks

During my consult, I was told that Velashape would take care of my problem although it was also mentioned that I'd be a good candidate for Smart Lipo as well because that fix would be permanent and the Velashape was not a guarantee.

What do I do? Go with the noninvasive procedure with no guarantee or go with Smart Lipo? Please help!
