“Smartlipo Upper Arms - Campbell, CA”

I am 28 years old 4'11 and weigh an average of 102. I am petite but have never been happy with my arms as they have never matched the rest of my body! I always felt like they were bulky and made me look buff! ( a look I do not want ) I decided to go through with the smartlipo. The procedure for me was extremely uncomfortable. My feet were tense the entire time and had lots of anxiety. I... more

I'm having smart lipo on my abdomen next week and am super scared. I've always had a lower-abdominal pouch and finally made the decision to get lipo about 5 months ago. I keep feeling like I will back out. Its almost like I'm scared to have a flat tummy. I literally can't imagine it--- like at all! I feel like I will cry...or even miss my rolls. Which is crazy b/c I am disgusted at them l... more

Ok, so here I go. I'm a 47 year old mother of two, both c-section. Unhappy my whole life with my belly. had my first child young and never lost the stretch marks or belly hang.

“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

“6 Days Post Op - San Jose, CA”

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. After back surgery, hysterectomy and to much work to really spend time at the gym oh...and age it had become a loosing battle. So defeated thought I would try this. The procedure was no worse than a day at the... more

“Upper Lower Abs and Hips (inner...”

I decided to do this procedure because I have a pretty fat gut and love handles. For the most part I look normal. I'm 5'4 165. I work out religiously. However I had a baby by c section in Jan 2010 and my stomach looks like it hangs now. Also I went to work for a new job very quickly and commute up to 3 hrs a day. I would love to wear a dress, and fit better in jeans no more muffin top.... more

“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

“3 Days Post Surgery - San Jose, CA”

I had smart lipo on Wednesday and was in surgery from 9am to 3pm. Overall I only felt a couple times pain, and my doctor added more numbing solution. I actually slept a few times during the procedure. I had abdomen and back area done and about 3 containers of fat cells removed. Word of warning, for first 2 days you are going to feel like a truck hit you. You need someone to be with you to... 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. I had the abdomen pouch that most women seem to be suffering from and nothing seemed to help me; not even diet and exercise. It was not until I turned to Smartlipo that I was able to get rid of my abdominal fat. The procedure was surprisingly comfortable. And it helped that the doctor walked me through... more
