Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
SmartLipo or CoolSculpting on my under arm?
SmartLipo vs Coolsculpting for the Arms
Sep 22, 2015
When dealing with the arms, it is important to consider the skin in addition to the fat. Coolsculpting does not cause any tightening of the skin (and I have yet to run into any patients happy with their Coolsculpting results). I perform the SmartLipo Ultra procedure all the time for arms and I always try to give proper, realistic expectations when it comes to the skin. My goal is to make the arms skinnier by melting out the fat and to really work on the dermis to get as much skin…
Aqua lipo vs smart lipo?
Aqua versus Smart Lipo
Sep 22, 2015
I think that both approaches would be effective as long as the surgeon has the skill and experience to achieve the results that you want. Make sure you are clear with your goals and that the surgeon agrees with you. He or she should be able to explain if your request is reasonable or not. Good doctors say “no” once in a while, too! Hope this helps and good luck!Dr Chang
Why is there a drastic change in some people with smart lipo but not others?
Different Smart Lipo Results
Sep 22, 2015
This is a common question. I always say that it is not the machine but the hands using it. You can see a wide spectrum of results from amazing to disappointing based upon the doctor’s experience, skill and goals. Some doctors unfortunately do not care about getting significant results. Others do not spend enough time removing the fat. Others just do not have the experience with the machine. This situation applies across all fields of medicine, not just…
34,5’11,244lbs lost 75lbs. I have bat wings and huge double bubble. Would it be okay to get smart lip
Smart Lipo Before Tummy Tuck
Sep 22, 2015
As much as I love the Smart Lipo procedure, you should not do this procedure before a tummy tuck in your situation. If you are going to do a major procedure like a tummy tuck, there really is no need to undergo two separate procedures. The excess skin is also a huge factor. Definitely continue to do a great job of losing the weight. Now, if you decide against a tummy tuck for whatever reason (long recovery, major operation, large incision, cost, etc), then Smart Lipo is…
So confused… TO SMART LIPO OR NOT?
Smart Lipo After Tummy Tuck
Sep 22, 2015
Based on your pictures and story, you would definitely benefit from a Smart Lipo procedure if done correctly. You have belly fat and love handle fat that could be effectively removed to really help your shape and contour. Honestly, the concerns you wrote about are more directed at the specific doctor rather than the tools utilized because the goal is always to get the fat out! I have seen the same complaints about doctors who perform traditional liposuction, too. I like to be…
Do you need other procedures following smart lipo?
Other Procedures After Smart Lipo
Sep 22, 2015
You should NOT require another invasive procedure after undergoing Smart Lipo if done correctly. Now that being said, everyone heals differently and everyone starts with a different body mass. Nothing is ever 100% in cosmetic surgery. If the “procedures” that you are referring to are lymphatic massage or non-invasive ultrasound therapy, then it is a different story. These postlipo treatments are perfectly acceptable and may help speed up the healing process….
4 weeks post smart lipo and I have painful lumps. Will these go away?
Postlipo Lumps and Bumps
Sep 22, 2015
It is quite common to develop bumps and lumps after any liposuction procedure. These usually resolve with time. Lymphatic massage and ultrasonic treatment may help speed up the process. I also recommend to be as active as you can and to follow the instructions for the compression garment. Definitely inform your surgeon during your follow up visits. You were very considerate to not bother your surgeon on a Saturday night!! Hope this helps and good luck!Dr Chang
