Liposuction

I am interested in liposuction on my flanks and medial/lateral thighs. I am debating on tradtional liposuction or new laser smart lipo. Any suggestions on which way to go? Any advice from anyone who has had either procedure or both?

How do I know if I'm a good candidate for liposuction and What are the risks. I have some problem areas but I'm just not sure If this procedure is right for me!
