Q. What is SmartLipo Hi-Definition LipoSculpture?
A: SmartLipo Hi-Definition LipoSculpture™ is a highly advanced form of liposculpture that uses sophisticated techniques and laser technology to melt away unwanted fat. What differentiates Smartlipo HiDef from Advanced Liposculpture is the degree to which the contours of your muscles are defined. Dr. Jennifer Tighe de Soto or Dr. Frank Soto Leon will begin by marking the areas of the body that they will enhance—making you look fit and tone.
