Is there an age limit when it comes to getting SmartLipo? Can the procedure rid my muffin top?

I am a 58 yr old woman who is trying to decide whether to get SmartLipo. I am in good health, 5 ft 4 in & weigh 130 pounds. I cannot get rid of my muffin top, and in clothes I look terrible. The plastic surgeon said I was a perfect candidate, what are your thoughts? Am I too old for SmartLipo? If I get the procedure, will it help me with my problem area?

Age isn't necessarily a factor. Your skin could respond to the procedure (e.g. laxity) positively. The physician assessing you would have insight as to whether you are a candidate.

The SmartLipo procedure can be an option to treat the muffin top. I would like you to also consider the Coolsculpting procedure. It is non-invasive, non-surgical (SmartLipo is still surgery) procedure that will permanently destroy the fat cells in the muffin top area without any scars or downtime.

The SmartLipo procedure can definitely get rid of that muffin top! The best candidate for this procedures is someone with a normal body mass index. From the sounds of it, you are well within the normal limits. This procedure is usually done on patients between the ages of 25 - 70 years old, depending of health conditions. To find out more about the procedure and how it can benefit you, as well as to learn about the risks and benefits, it is best that you set up a consultation with a specialist in your area. The specialist will review your medical history and explain the details of the procedure so that you can make a solid, educated decision regarding whether this procedure is right for you, or whether a different procedure is more appropriate.
