Would SlimLipo be best for my inner thighs and stomach? (photo)

Question

I went for a consultation. The plastic surgeon has recommended slimlipo on my saddlebags. But said for my 'chunky' legs I should rather do RF 10 sessions. And then on my inner thighs and stomach coolsculpting, 4 sessions. What I'm wondering is why he won't slimlipo my inner thighs and belly at the same time as saddlebags? He mentioned something about soft fat. I'm just worried that slimlipo would yield better results. I was too shy to question his judgment.

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

Hi and welcome to our forum!
From your photo, I note fullness of your abdomen, flanks, hips, saddlebags, and thighs. These areas will all respond well to liposuction. Liposuction involves removal of fat through small pipes
(cannulas) placed under the skin under extreme vacuum after pretreatment
with an infusion of solution containing a blood vessel constrictor (to
prevent bleeding) and an anesthetic (if performed awake). Augmented liposuction (such as slimlipo) utilizes laser energy or ultrasonic energy to semiliquify the fat, making it
easier to remove and adds a subtle skin tightening effect..
In general, the experience of the surgeon is more important than
the type of instrument utilized.
You may wish to speak with your plastic surgeon regarding his/ her reasoning for multiple modalities.
Best
wishes...
