I had the Smart Lipo done on my inner and outer thighs. I don't know what the results are yet since it has been only 6 days.

I had it done on upper/lower abs and love handles. The procedure itself was fine, and I wore the annoying garment afterwords as told. But my results are minimal if at all.

I had smartlipo done yesterday on my upper and lower abs, waist, and arms. The procedure it self was not too bad.

The drainage peaked at arount 3AM and has pretty much slowed down to almost nothing. I do nor... more
