“Bad Experience with Smart Lipo - San...”

I got an email from a skin spa that I went to for hair laser removal. The email was promoting the procedure smart lipo. And in the ad, it said that it was a safe, effective and a much quicker recovery than traditional liposuction AND it was done under local anesthesia.

“So Far So Good... - Redwood City, CA”

I had Smartlipo on my abs, flanks, and arms. I originally wanted to do only my arms but my doctor had a special where if you get the procedure done in 2 areas, the third was free. So I thought why not. I had the procedure performed on 10.14.11. The procedure was relatively painless. The only discomfort I had was when they started to numb me. I asked for some more pain meds and my doctor... more

The procedure itself wasn't so bad, I was a bit anxious, but no real pain. I had decided to have this done after trying for the last 7 years to get rid of the stubborn muffin top.

“Post Tummy Tuck Smart Lipo -...”

I had a great tummy tuck experience with very very little liposuction done (it was only done to smooth out the ends of the incision) and my doctor said that a few months after my tummy tuck to come in for complimentary smart lipo if needed. AWESOME!! One of the ends of my incision healed kind of funny, as in not enough fat/skin was removed from the area. It has improved a little with the... more

“Mixed Results - San Jose, CA”

It's been 8 months. I had two areas done. The neck and stomach. I am very pleased with the neck. The results are amazing and well worth it. My neck was showing sagging and I looked overweight - although not. I am 47. The stomach resutls are good, but kinda uneven giving me a slightly lumpy look. I'm very pleased with the side view - I've always had a little pocuh -no... more

“Had Smart Lipo on 7/12/11 - San...”

Had upper & lower abs and flanks done 2 days ago. Te entire surgery took 6 hours because I had some very tough "gristly" fat in my upper abdomen. I thought the surgery itself was mildly painful but bearable. The worst part was lying still on my back for so long. That night I felt very sick and threw up. Dr. Riopelle and his staff were amazing. Everyone was patient and... more

“Excellent - Los Gatos, CA”

Problem areas on stomach and flanks did not respond to exercise. Smart Lipo was perfect procedure for me.Doctor did an excellent job sculpting. Very happy with my results. The cost I show here is not accurate as I had other things done and honestly I don't know what just the cost of the Lipo would have been. I believe every patients cost varies depending on the time and process needed... more

Being out of proportioned really sucks!! I have dealt with it my whole life. No matter how much I worked out, I couldn't spot reduce. My lower body was so much bigger than my upper body.

I am in terrible pain after the treatment also, it is manageable... more

“Smartlipo NOT Worth It”

Two session a week apart. Initially it looks great. Six months down the road, when the injected meds melt out of your system, you start seeing the lumps left and feel like you need even more treatments. Unfortunately, my doctor did not want to fix any irregularities without charging a fortune. 14k can buy a lot of time at the gym for more permanent results. more

“Love my Smartlipo Results”

I had my Smartlipo procedure done in June of 2007 and I absolutely love my results.
