Would Smart Lipo and then Ultrasound Cavitation be good for me? (photos)

Question

I am 5’1 and 103 pounds and 23 years old. I would like to reduce the fat on my inner, outer thighs and inner knees. I know it’s hard to get rid of fat above the knee but I do have a lot of fat there too. I am not sure if ultrasound /ultrasonic Cavitation would help reduce the fat and cellulite on my knees? Also I have a lot of cellulite on the back and sides of my thighs would this help with the cellulite? Is Smartlipo a good option for me?

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

Expertly conducted liposculpture (precision liposuction) is your best option for reducing small areas of troublesome fat. It doesn't really matter whether you use laser or vaser or standard lipo for liposculpture. What matters, the only thing that matters, is that your surgeon has expert skills and an expert eye. Cellulite will not improve with any of these technologies or techniques. This requires other procedures that can be done at the same time. The most reliable of these are variations of a procedure known as subcision which involves tiny needles.

Dear poi64S4eh6,
liposuction is a great option to remove extra fat tissue and to contour body. 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.

Thank you for your question, if you are looking for a non-invasive invasive treatment I recommend Sculpsure. SculpSure is a non-invasive body contouring laser designed to reduce stubborn fat in problem areas such as the abdomen, back, knees and thighs. SculpSure helps you achieve a slimmer and natural looking appearance without surgery or downtime in a quick 25-minute procedure. However, SmartLipo is an option as well, it is a minimally invasive and incredibly effective way to remove stubborn deposits of fat. I recommend and in-person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist to go over your options.

it is important to understand that you need two different treatments for 2 different problems. You would benefit from Smartlipo to reduce the fat in the areas, you want smaller. You have cellulite on the back of your thighs which is best treated by Cellulaze.see a board certified plastic surgeon, who does both of these and he can do them at the same time, as i demonstrate in the attached video.david berman md
