“Smart Lipo... So Far So Good”

I had smart Lipo done about 12 days ago... went in for my one week follow up and am feeling pretty good. I had my upper and lower abs done and things are definitely flatter.

“Upper and Lower Abs~Smart Lipo...”

I had my smart lipo procedure done on Thursday September 25, 2008. The procedure took about 2 hours because my doctor was so precise. I went to an all women's surgery center in Los Angeles, and I could not recommend a better place. Not only was the staff and the doctor extremely professional, but they were all VERY warm, kind and caring. I had been to 4 other plastic surgeons in the Los... more
