Liposuction: Q&A
Ask a QuestionIs Water Assisted Liposuction As Effective As Smart Lipo?

Too many choices

In short, all of the liposuction technologies follow the same basic premise; introducing a wetting solution to help control bleeding and allow for easier extraction of fat cells and mechanical removal of fat cells from the body.
I tell people to focus on the magician rather than the magic wand. That is, find a plastic surgeon who comes highly recommended and...
