This patient requested to look slimmer but worried about her loose skin in her abdominal area. She had seen other doctors in consultation who had suggested tummy-tuck was the only method to improve her abdominal area. This is because it is well known that liposuction alone regardless of the technique (ie vaser, tickle lipo, ultrasonic lipo, water-lipo) will not result in tighter skin. The doctor offered liposuction in combination with Smartlipo laser treatment to heat and tighten the skin without the need for an abdominoplasty.
