Smart Lipo vs. Tummy Tuck and less recovery time?
I have had 2 c-sections and wanted to know if the results would betweeb Smart Lipo and a Tummy Tuck would be similar? I can't be out of work too long so I was wondering which one has less recovery time? Thanks!

The Smart Lipo procedure would have the least amount of downtime.
Typically you would have 2-3 days downtime. If you did the procedure
on Friday you would be able to go back to a normal deskjob by Monday.
Smartlipo is good if you want to remove 2-3 inches of fat in targeted
areas. However, if you have a considerable amount of fat with a lot
of loose skin then you would need to do a Tummy Tuck. The downtime
would be anywhere from 2-6 weeks depending on exactly what you did and
how fast you recover.
