Will I get an hourglass shape from Smart Lipo? Will my results be noticeable? Do you think I’m a good candidate? (Photos)

Thanks for your question! I think you'd be a better candidate for traditional liposuction under anesthesia. It would give us the opportunity to aggressively contour those areas and keep you comfortable. Good luck!

Thank you for your question.  I would suggest before you consider liposuction of any sort you make sure that you're at your ideal weight. Remember that liposuction is not for weight loss.  Your pictures would indicate you may be carrying a certain amount of visceral fat, that is fat around your internal organs, which can only be addressed through diet and exercise.  Liposuction may make an improvement but I believe the hourglass shape you're looking for requires more than a surgical procedure.  Good luck!

Lipo BBL with internal heating would give you a great result. if you have loose skin then skin removal would be needed. Smartlipo is outdated and ultrasonic + RF is the gold standard now in my opinion. 
You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best.  Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring.  Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods.  The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring.  This is known as a Brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face.  Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra.  If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty).  Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.  Dr. Emer.
