African American Fat Removed from Abdomen and Skin Tightening

prazem
I am African American and I'm interested in getting fat removed from my upper and lower abdomen. I have had two pregnancies and was left with stretch marks and small pooch. I was told by one physicians that I am a candidate for the Smart Lipo and another told me that the Vaser would be better. I am concerned about skin tightening, so do you find Vaser with Smart Lipo, Vaser with Refirme, or Smart Lipo alone will achieve the best results?
