Would I be a good candidate for the smart lipo?

Tumescent liposuction is the technique to which all other methods are compared. It is safe and effective. First there is injection of fluid into the fat that causes blood vessels to shrink and gives pain relief which minimizes the amount of additional anesthesia required. All of the other techniques use tumescent fluid, and are followed by the suction component of the tumescent liposuction. The only difference is that laser, smart, jet, power, tickle and all of these other tools add a step in between the tumescent and the suction to melt or otherwise break up the fat. This extra step is not necessary to achieve good results, it adds risk, and is often a gimmick. 

Smart lipo is a tool for fat removal that works well for some areas and not so well for others. The best way to determine if this is a reasonable option is to see the areas you want to treat. Sometimes, if the areas are large and sagging, other procedures may give better results.

Thanks for the question. Based on your photos, you might be a good candidate for smart lipo. I recommend you to contact a Board Certified Surgeon for consultation. I wish you all the best.

I would have to see pictures or examine you to determine your candidacy.  I would look at before and after pictures and reviews to determine who
is the best surgeon for you. Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Liposuction of any kind is intended for body contouring rather than weight loss.  The main advantage of adding SlimLipo or SmartLipo is for the additional skin tightening provided by the laser.  On the opposite side of the coin, the addition of SmartLipo and SlimLipo to the procedure makes it more expensive.  Based on your current height and weight, I might suggest that you get into a weight loss program so that you can get to a better weight (which will mean better results) before undergoing liposuction of any kind. 

Thank you for your question. It would be best to
see a picture of the areas of concern to have a better idea if this is the
procedure for you. Smartlipo is a safe minimally invasive procedure that will
remove fat deposits while tightening the skin. Consult with your surgeon to
find out if this is the best procedure for you. Good luck!

Smart lipo is a form of body contouring and can give you good results, but without pictures there is no way of knowing whether or not you will need to have additional surgery. Skin laxity in someone of  your size after any liposuction procedure can be an issue. I suggest that you have a face-to-face consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss all of your available options.Thank you for your question!
