What is the difference between Smart lipo, triplex, laser lipo?

Laser companies are always coming out with the latest and greatest different wavelengths primarily to sell more lasers. The sad truth is that lasers add little if anything to conventional liposuction properly performed and choosing between surgeons on the basis of lasers is barking up the wrong tree. Look for a surgeon with experience, a great reputation, and great reviews. If you were told that you needed a tummy tuck because your abdomen has loose muscles and loose skin in addition to some surface fat, be prepared to be disappointed by lackluster results if you for lipo alone. TT and lipo are not interchangeable in terms of results.

Thank you for your question, Sue.  SmartLipo Triplex is laser liposuction with three different wavelengths that offers some additional skin tightening over typical liposuction.  A tummy tuck addresses loose skin and can repair a separated abdominal muscle. It often also includes liposuction.  Some advanced techniques in abdominoplasty require no drains and quicker recovery than was formerly possible.   I suggest you talk to a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in body contouring  for either procedure as your result will be highly dependent on the experience of your provider.  Best of luck to you.  

what matters most is the person doing the procedure not the tool, although I do not find tha laser that effective , much less so than ultrasound (VASER) which I use exclusively for people who need body shaping and skin tightening.  I suggest a formal consultation because if you have any loose skin to start you will also need skin surgery and liposuction alone will not give you the best of results.  Dr. Emer.
