I wear a size 1. I am 19, 5'6 and weigh around 112 pounds. I just had my free consultation and basically got the response I knew I would probably get, "You really don't need this treatment". Well here's the thing, I know I don't NEED this treatment but there is some excess fat in my lower abdomen that I'd really like to get rid of permanently. I am an active person, and work hard to get my abs to show through, and I thought with the Smartlipo treatment it would really help. Any thoughts?

Answer: Liposuction is not permanent

There is no common places for incisions to be done. The point is to chose the most efficient placement for liposuction and in the same time to hide the incision as much as possible. We usually try to place them asymmetrically, to make less noticeable and this can be discussed with the patient...
Hi there-
Depending on the composition of your muffin top, liposuction may be of benefit. As for the type of liposuction, my opinion (having tried them all) is that laser liposuction (like Smartlipo) is a gimmick and is not as safe or effective as other options.
