I had to go away and look these things up. The tubes were too baffling to comment on by themselves. SmartLipo and Cellulaze are 'minimally' invasive and not advised as a treatment for obesity but rather body contouring. This new device works by heating the areas which cause the fat cells to burst. The liberated fat is supposed to be eliminated by the body naturally as with any other cellular waste.  The kicker for any of these procedures is the patient advisory to be at or within striking distance of ideal weight and weight-stable (i.e. not gaining. Continuing to lose weight is okay).  The patient in photo looks very large (more so than any patients on the manufacturer's site). The amount of fat cells destroyed isn't that much (24% fat reduction is the bar for a 'successful' treatment) compared to her bulk. This is supposed to be for 'stubborn' fat, not crappy diet, lifestyle-fixable fat.
