“Super Pleased. Had it On My Flanks -...”
42 year old male, has my flanks done. I was not awake, was completely out. I had a lot of leakage, and recovery from the anesthesia was the worse part. I also did not like the compression garments, but overall, I love the results. My love handles are gone. I was worried my skin wouldn't snap back as I am getting older, but it looks great. I was already fairly thin (6foot 2, 175) I just... more
My husband of 26 yeas and I joined a gym 3 months ago. We have a 22 year old and 19 old both of whom were large babies, and while working out with a personal trainer, I found I was making progress everywhere except for my belly. I decided I wanted help there. After doing online research through the various doctors and clinics that offered lipo and smart lipo, I decided to go with smart... more
“42 Year Old Male Lower Ab Smartlipo”

It's monday 8/26/10 I'm back at work and have not talen any pain meds in two days. Before surgery... more
“Upper/lower Stomach, Flanks, Lower...”
Things to consider buying one week prior to SmartLipo surgery. I had neck, stomach, flanks, lower back smartlipo and fat transfer stem cells injected into my hands (I will explain this very new procedure below): 1. Arnica 30x pills (Health food store) This should be started one week prior to any surgery. It helps reduce bruising dramatically and helps with pain too. It is all natural and... more
“Water-assisted Smartlipo:...”
I've been researching Smart Lipo for some time and finally got up the courage to do the deed. Being a 34 year old man in decent shape (6'1" 205lbs), I had to convince myself it was acceptable for me to want to look better and to spend this kind of money to do it. I read and researched everything I could about the procedure and doctors. I picked my Dr. because of his experience and expertise... more
“SmartLipo on Upper/lower Abs - Lumps...”
I am 1 1/2 months out from having smart lipo on my upper and lower abs. I still have small bumps/lumps on my abs. I did lymphatic massages 6 times and massage every night before bed. When should these lumps go away? I am very tight in the skin, but worry when I stretch out my abs, the small lumps are very noticeable. The results look great, but simply concerned.Also, I did a more
BACKGROUND: I had always had a hereditary fat deposit on my abdomen that is completely unresponsive to diet and exercise. I work out 6 days a week, 2 hours a day and eat pretty healthy (i.e., lean meats, whole grains, organic fruits and vegetables, etc.). Even when my body fat has been as low as 16%, people asked how long ago I had my baby—however, I have never had children. This was a... more
“Dr. Didnt Perform Smartlipo on the...”
I recently got smartlipo done and when I had my consultation I specifically said I wanted my love handle gone (which I believe is that fat that buldges out of my pants) and I also got a price quote for upper and lower abs. So I was gettin a great deal and didnt realize until a month later the dr didnt remove the fat from my entire love handle, just in the front.Im confused on what to do and... more
“SmartLipo on Neck/chin for Double...”
I had smart lipon on neck/chin due to double chin/sagging neck 2 1/2 weeks ago. I am 48.The procedure was not painful...just felt some discomfort. The swelling has gone down but not disappeared (worse in the afternoon). I do feel tired and sometimes a tad feverish. Bruising initially went away after a week but it recurrs if I am very active.I am taking Bromeline and Vit C with Rutein. I... more
“27 Y/o Mom of 3 - Hoping There is...”
I want to tell you a little about myself - because I always think that stuff helps when getting something this big done. Im a 27 year old mom with three boys. I had my first child at 20 and my last 6 months ago. I dropped all my baby weight and Im at the weight I want to be 128 ( Im 5'4) . BUT I have a wrinkly tummy and a pooch from having 9.8 lb babies! I dont have stretch marks ( Im... more
I never seriously considered traditional liposuction. But now that Smart Lipo is available I researched it and found this as a way to aggressively improve my physique and finally rid myself of the cursed "mommy pillow". I had my neck (double chin) and upper & lower abdomen done with SmartLipo. I noticed good results immediately, very little bruising at all. Recovery time was... more
“Dr Misdiagnosed C Section Hernia Did...”
I came to this dr in feb2008 for lipo on my stomach.He noticed I had a bellybutton hernia and said he would not do lipo until the hernia was fixed as it would be very dangerous.I then pointed out a hole I had at my c section scar and asked if that was also a hernia?He said no.That was his first mistake. After my bellybutton was fixed he did my lipo on march 18th.At my first follow up I was... more
I had smart lipo done on my outer thighs, hips, and partial flanks. I am 24 F 5'8 136lbs these areas were just driving me crazy and decided to give it a try. It has been 5 days and am still tender but I actually went back to work the following day and it was a bit uncomfortable but do-ible and I move around I don't have a sit down job. I feel like I already see a difference in my hips and... more
“A Nightmare, I Would Not Recommend...”
So I try to get rid of this little muffin top that I have, but nothing is working. I don't want to diet and lose weight anywhere except in that particular area. I have an injury to my low back, to the point that the disk at L5-S1 has degenerated to nothing at all, so excersizing that area is a lot more difficult for me then most people. I made an appointment to see doctor who... more
