I had Smart Lipo a few days ago on my thigh and lower abdomen area, then had the fat transferred to my breasts. I asked the nurse the day before if the fat was liquified because I had heard that wasn't good for fat transfer, and she assured me it wasn't and that it would be mixed with my plasma and injected. Now I'm reading things that are starting make me doubt my decision. Should I be worried??
Many forms of liposuction including laser lipo such as Smart lipo will disrupt the fat cells and make them nonviable. Transfer of the aspirate mixed with your own 'plasma' into the breast is not a very smart idea as the material is not likely to contain living fat cells. Such a decision should not have been yours to make.
Best of luck,

I am athletic and toned at 5'7 and 150lbs. I recently had smart lipo on my upper abs and belly button area. I was surprised they only took out 300cc's. Does the laser melting the fat affect this at all? I expected to see more fat in the container it's deposited in.
The goal of liposuction is contour, or, it is not what you take but what you leave that gives a great result. The endpoint is judged by skin pinch, contour, and correct feathering. If 300cc will get the job done, then the volume is just right, more perhaps dents and regrets.

I have a 3 year old and a 2 month old I am 5'2 and 190 pounds the heaviest I've been is 217 pounds. I have a little bit of sagging skin, I want to get smartlipo. I workout out 3 to 4 times a week but I can't lose the weight, I really just want my stomach to go down will smartlipo help me?
Any liposuction will be more effective when an individual is at or near their ideal body weight. With a weight near 190 to 210 it sounds like you are not quite ready. Better make smart dietary choices now rather than smart lipo.
Best of luck,
