SmartLipo can treat small and large pockets of stubborn fat. The size of the treated area will affect the length of the procedure and the amount of local anesthetic, but laser liposuction is effective for nearly any area of the body. Some larger regions, such as the abdomen or back, may be better treated with traditional liposuction, but that depends on several factors. During your consultation, Dr. Miller will discuss the pros and cons of liposuction techniques and recommend the method that will deliver the best results.
