I'm 48 years old, 5' 2" tall, and weigh about 127. I currently have a small amount of loose skin and not a lot of fat. I have a lot of muscle, am very active, and I lift weights 4 times a week. I am wondering, how much skin tightening can I expect after Smart Lipo? I don't want to end up with sagging skin.

Answer: Skin Tightening with Smart Lipo The short answer is that you can expect to see more skin tightening after laser liposuction with Smart Lipo than you see from traditional liposuction. I have found clinically that the exact amount of tightening varies from patient to patient and also from area to area. I have found that the most significant predictor for successful skin tightening is the preexisting quality of the skin and the condition it is in. So if the area to be treated has a lot of stretch marks and is extremely lax, no form of liposuction will completely tighten this. Because of that I encourage patients to keep their skin well hydrated with topical moisturizing creams before and after liposuction of any kind. The key to your success will be working with a board certified Plastic Surgeon who will evaluate your area and be honest about whether they can meet your expectations. Good luck
