Smart Lipo provider: Not specified
I wanted to get the one to two dress size reduction I so often heard in advertisements. I had my chin, my back, my abdomen, my thighs (inner and outer) and knees. I just really wanted to look better especially in my stomach. I am overweight about 15 pounds.
The procedure was fine and the staff were all very nice. The first day after the procedure was painful, but it was not bad overall.
The result was not worth the money. I am so angry at myself for spending so much money. I have since been to a board certified plastic surgeon and have found out I could have had a tummy tuck, liposuction, and liposuction on thighs inner and outer for 10,500.00. I should have gone this route first. I am still paying back the loan I took for the smart lipo and am trying to convince my husband to let me get another loan to do what I should have done to begin with. I know he wants to kill me :)
The only part that was worth it was my chin. My chin had a small fat pad and it looks a ton better.
I should have not done this, it was not worth it. I would have done the chin again, but I don't think it is for a large area. My advice is to consult more than one board certified plastic surgeon and don't try to take the short cut. Go with the major surgery.

How long has been since you had your surgery?

Hi Cynthiafisher, can you tell me the name of the place you had this done. I am supposed to have this done in Fayetteville in mid October and was just wondering.

I know they say full results take up to six months... hopefully things will improve!

Two previous liposuction treatments performed in the spring of 2000 left me in pain and with considerable bruising, as well as weeks-long recovery. What a difference with my recent LipoSelection by VASER treatment! Although nearly 800 cc of fluid was aspirated I can enthusiastically state that, following the VASER Lipo treatment, I had absolutely NO bruising or swelling - I have already dropped a full pant size, and returned to work the Monday following my Friday procedure.

wow that's quite a story, I actually had that in mind but I think I'll continue doing it the old fashion way. I'm also a bit scared of surgery. I bought this slimming bike shorts and it has helped reduce my waist size. so far this has been working for me

i feel the same too, i only did my outer thigh since 2 months and till now i feel a very small difference only it is true with that amount i would have a traditionnal liposuction with real results. I am hoping to feel less cheated after 6 months.
