Is smartlipo recommended for women generally considered skinny? What type of results can be expected? I am 5'4, 113 pounds and a small body frame. However all the fat I have ever gained in my life hides in my belly, nowehere else. By all standards I am skinny but I also would like to get rid of my belly even if by general standards it is considered small... No one likes a belly, not even the skinny ones :) Do you recommend one to go into this procedure? Is it healthy? Can reults be seen? Thanks
