Can anyone tell me the difference between smart lipo and pure tumescent lipo? I am just starting to do my research about the procedures. I am tired of my "saddle bags"!

Any one have any thoughts on either procedure?

Well smart lipo isn't true lipo - it's just a laser that supposedly melts away the fat. My worry is what else is it melting away in your body?

I had Smart Lipo to try and shrink my loose skin, but I don't really see any improvement in that area. I didn't really have all that much fat to remove so I don't know much about this part of it. I really just need to be put in the dryer and shrink all my skin!

Thanks La Angel and Barbie Doll,

LA Angel - that is a scary thought! Have you had lipo done, were you happy with your results if you did have it?

Barbie Doll - I know what you mean my loose skin, I am wondering about that affect as well. When did you have your lipo?

hey becca12,
Since your researching Smart Lipo, try doing some research on Vaser. I had the procedure done on a Friday afternoon and was continuing my normal life by noon on Saturday. There was very little pain just some slight soreness and swelling. The bruising was less than I expected and disappeared completely within a week.

Thanks, I'll look at vaser as well! I was leaning towards pure tumescent lipo because of the local anesthesia aspect.

Where did you have your procedure done. I am starting to look at docs in Southern California.

hey becca12
I've read a lot people posting that their smart lipo PO is taking months for swelling to go away. My Vaser liposuction recovery was very, very easy. I had absolutely no pain, no swelling.

I had my procedure back in April 2007. I think you can go to the Vaser website and they have a physician locator. You just type in your zip code and they tell you all of the doctors that offer Vaser in your area. Good luck!
