“So glad I did this- new photos 6...”
I found a lot of helpful info on this website as I contemplated having lipo, so will add my experience so far. I'm 5'6", weigh 160, and age 56. Have a major muffin top, and even in younger days always had a big belly. As I've gotten older, that stubborn tummy fat just did not bulge. In the summer I tried Exilis, (just posted a review of that, waste of money) and really debated between lipo and... more

I was also unhappy with the scars left behind fro more
“VERY HAPPY with SmartLipo on...”
Yesterday, my Dr did smart lipo assisted lipo on my posterior hips. Although I'm happy with my body and I know I don't NEED lipo to make me happy, I did this as a plus and am very aware it's a luxury. It doesn't make me or break me.

“Need Fixing - Had Lipo Gone Wrong”
I wanted to have my saddlebags removed, but was otherwise happy with my body. My surgeon was overly aggressive though and left me with a sagging bottom (more on one side than the other) and large indents like holes at each hip joint, as well as un-even looking thighs. I look strange and am embarressed to wear the tight work-out clothes now... let alone a swimsuit!! My self-esteem is worse not... more
