Is Smart Lipo a good option for my love handles and saddle bags? (photo)

An hourglass shape means a tight waistline, wider hips and wider chest. You chest is not visible. You've got fat on the flanks which can be reduced to make your waistline tighter. This will bring you as closer to an hourglass shape. The saddle bags are making your thighs look wider, but not your hips. Lipo will reduce the wideness at this level. This will do nothing for your hourglass, but it will get rid of bulges that you dislike very effectively.

Hello and thank you for your question.Smart lipo is certainly one of your options. I suggest consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals.Best of luck!

Hi.  Base on your pictures you would be a good candidate for SmartLipo to the flanks and the saddlebag areas to help achieve the look you are going for.  I would recommend consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon with good experience in this area.Good luck and take care,Dr. Howell

Dear Thoughtful9832,
It is hard to tell for sure without an examination, but based on your photo, you look like a great candidate for a liposuction. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Smart Lipo is good for stubborn areas of fat, but lacks body contouring and shaping. For best results, I recommend a hi-definition procedure like VASER liposuction, which can be performed at the same time as a tummy tuck, if there is skin laxity. I use VASER HI-DEF with ThermiRF, Renuvion (J Plasma), InMode BodyTite, and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi-definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer
