Re: LIPO vs Smart LIPO
Don't forget COOL Lipo to confuse us even further! 
This is what I found online:
Liposuction
Procedure
Liposuction is a relatively simple process by which excess fat is surgically removed from your body in a five stage process. The first stage is the administration of the anesthetic. You have your choice between an IV or general anesthetic. After anesthetized an incision will be made and sterile, medicated liquids will be injected into the area that is going to be treated. This fluid helps to numb the area being treated and it also reduces bleeding. During stage three the cannula, a long, thin, hollow tube, is inserted into the incision and moved back and forth. This loosens up the fat, which is then vacuumed out of the body. The fourth stage is to remove the cannula and to stitch up the incisions. The final stage is recovery.
SmartLipo
Procedures
SmartLipo is a new type of liposuction that uses a laser to help remove fat cells. This process uses a very small cannula with a diameter of between 1mm and 2mm that contains a laser fiber. As the cannula is inserted into the body the laser ruptures the fat cell and shrinks the collagen in your skin
. The ruptured fat cells, as well as the medicated fluid that was injected at the beginning of the surgery, is then removed through the attached vacuum hose.
Advantages
SmartLipo has several advantages over regular liposuction. First of all you have fewer risks because you don't need a general anesthetic for his procedure. Next this procedure produces less swelling, less bleeding and less bruising. SmartLipo also offers you a quicker recovery period.
Candidates
While ideal candidates for regular liposuction can be 30 percent over their ideal weight, ideal candidates for SmartLipo need to be closer to their ideal weight. They also will want to treat smaller areas of their body such as the face, neck, arms, knees, bra strap area, mons pubis and breasts.

Re: LIPO vs Smart LIPO
I had neither my mom had Lipo and my only suggestion is to go a excellent dr. and make sure you are a good candidate. Apparently she wasn't and wasn't told that. Now she has scare tissue on her abdemon from the procedure and can't have a tummy tuck because of it.

After 5 kids her skin elasticity wasn't their but you didn't know looking at her (pre-lipo). Her stomach was always kinda flat but she always had these extra few pound she couldn't get rid of.
When she first had the procedure done it looked good. Now it is 4 years later and the skin is all wrinkley there. Basically, they take out fat and the skin is left hanging. She should have done a tummy tuck.
The surgeon you go to should know which procedure is best for you.
