I am 3 weeks in to my Smart lipo on my Love handles and lower abdomen.The recovery not so painfull but still bruised..The funny thing is that in the first week the skin was tight but now my lovehandles are showing same as before I could still pinch so much from my sides ...I am so upset I tool a loan out for this as it was important..I know it is not a solution for loosing weight but I wanted a good head start on the stubbuorn areas..but results are crap...
Not sure what to do?

Well I was totally out during the smart lipo,and after he said that he took 1.5 liters out, I do not beleive it I mesured my self today and same mesurements as before..I think i got ripped off..not only that but my sides look a bit different then each other..My doc said it is swelling but I can still grab same amount of fat as before..
My week three was horrible someone actually asked me if I gained weight! :( I am 6 weeks out now and it does get beter. But even I need a touch up, you might too but give it some time because it does get better.
Same here I feel Lumpy and Sometimes very NUMB..I
lost no Inches..
Hi there. I am lumpy, too but you have to understand the amount of "trauma" that your body goes through when you do this procedure. I am 2 mos out for my abdomen/love handles and 6 weeks out from the others. I do swell daily especially when I fly. I do have some numb areas, too. The nerves have to regenerate. Limit your salt intake and be patient. I really think you'll come through all of this just fine but, if not, discuss it with your Dr. He/she sould be able to address and/or fix the problem (if they're "worth their salt") I personally am thrilled with the way my clothes fit, etc. I think that, given 6 months, you'll feel better!
Hey, did you get SmartLipo with suction? If so, how many CCs OF FAT did they take out? total CCs will include the numbing solution. Your provider will know this information. It could be you are having the same swelling I have. My provider has said it will be a few months before I see the final result - he doesn't do his "after" photos until three months post-op. My husband, a surgeon, has told me the same thing. Give this time! : )
