Is Smart Lipo the best choice for me?

Question

I really want smartlipo on my arms and the fat on my back. Would this be something that would work for me?

Mark Edward Hennessy, MD · Answer

Thank you for sharing your photos. You appear to have fair skin elasticity and assuming that you are enjoying excellent medical health, then I believe that you would be a very good patient for liposuction as an outpatient. You might consider initiating an exercise routine now and a lower calorie diet. Both  will  help promote healing and help you obtain the results that you desire.

Marco A. Pelosi III, MD, FACOG, FACS · Answer

I've had many patients with a look similar to yours improve with lipo, with diet, or both. Some women retain fat on the arms no matter how much weight they lose elsewhere, but the combination of diet plus lipo of your trouble spots gives the best results consistently. Add in an exercise program and you'll have a total makeover without major surgery.

Thanks for the question, undoubtably the best technology for a thorough aggressive back procedure is VASER ultrasound technology to melt the fat, then power assisted liposuction to remove the fat and to finish the procedure Plasma skin tightening technology. This will give you the best result possible in an experienced providers hands

Hello, and thank you for question. Based on your photos, it looks like you could see great results from Smartlipo to help contour your arms and back. Keep in mind that since Smartlipo isn’t a weight loss treatment, you won’t lose a substantial amount of weight, but you should notice an improvement in the shape and contours of the treated areas. Just be sure that you’re working with an experienced and reputable cosmetic surgeon to ensure optimal results.

Thank you for your question and including images! You look like you would be a wonderful candidate for SmartLipo to your arms and upper flank area, giving you that beautiful hourglass shape! I'd recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a Board Certified Plastic surgeon in your area to discuss your treatment plan! Good luck!

You could certainly benefit from Liposuction of the arms, in addition to mid-back and axillary (back bra fat) liposuction.  For the best results, I recommend this in combination with Flank Liposuction as well.  (Love Handles) Liposuction of these mentioned areas will result in a pleasing curve to the entire backside.

Your arms and upper back should both respond well to Smart Lipo. I would recommend a consult with exam and review of before and after photos to give you an idea of what to expect. Smart Lipo is the real deal and these are great areas to treat.

Bruce E. Katz, MD · Answer

Thank you for your photos. Based on your photos you would be a great candidate for SmartLipo. The energy of the SmartLipo laser performs 2 essential functions: (1) it liquefies fat cells, making them easier to remove; and (2) it heats the skin in the treatment area, triggering a healing response that stimulates collagen growth, leading to smoother results than other types of liposuction. SmartLipo also tightens the skin whereas traditional liposuction does not. For more information, I recommend getting a in person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist.

Renee Burke, MD · Answer

I do think you would be a candidate for liposuction to your arms and back. Liposuction is for spot reduction. It is a permanent weight loss procedure. I would have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to have a full examination and learn more about the procedure and to see if you are a good candidate. Good luck to you!

Elena Vega, DO · Answer

Liposuction to your arms and back will most definitely improve your contour.  You will fit and feel better in your clothing.  Be sure as you make your decision you schedule a few consultations to determine which surgeon is the right fit for you!  Best of luck!
