Laser Vs Smart Lipo for Arm Liposuction?

Smartlipo is one of several laser liposuction techniques.
The arms are a very visible, small area with many vital structures. Liposuction of the arms requires small cannulas, delicate technique and good skin tightening for a good result.
Large cannulae and agressive technique in the arms can cause unsightly skin irregularities and may cause injury.
The benefit of laser liposuction (I use SlimLipo) like Smartlipo, SlimLipo, Coolipo and others, is that the laser melts and liquefies the fat so that removal is easier with tiny cannulae. The heat from the laser also tightens the skin which is very important in the arm.
Laser liposuction is very new and not widely practiced yet. It is crucial that you consult a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this technique. Many new users are simply not yet experienced enough to treat the arms--there are also many non board certified doctors offering these techniques--avoid them.

There are now numerous lasers on the market for use in conjunction with traditional blunt cannula liposuction. Newer generation lasers are more targeted for fat cells and offer more potential for improvement in liposuction results, in my opinion. Any surgeon who perfroms a lot of liposuction will admit that there is always potential for improvement and I feel that these cutting edge technologies offer the potential for a better result in skilled hands. My advice is to look for a surgeon with experience in the latest technology as at least one of your consults prior to surgery.
