83% of Tempe reviewers said Smart Lipo was worth it
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

“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... 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. T 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

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.

“27 Y/o Mom of 3 - Hoping There is...”

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

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
