From researching here and the rest of the internet, i thoughts I had learned that smartlipo was the better option for me to get rid of some stubborn back and abdominal fat. I thought I understood that it's less intense and the recovery is much easier. I had a consult however with a PS that does both, and she told me the opposite- that smart lipo is actually more intense and would be "way overkill" for what I am wanting to correct and instead suggested regular traditional lipo. Which is true??
