“Smart Lipo & Fat Transfer- Dr....”

On Nov 15th, I had Smart Lipo on my abs and flanks and fat transfer to my butt (BBL) procedure at Dr. Khalifeh's office in Chevy Chase, a couple blocks from Washington DC. It was a wonderful experience with the doctor and the nurses at DC Cosmetics and I am thrilled to see the results the procedure has on my body already. I think the only way I can show my gratitude is to write a truthful... more

“Severe Pain During Procedure and...”

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. However I have a high pain tolerance and thought the surgery wasn't going to be so painful. It was awful!! They gave me Vicodin and Valium prior but I could barely tolerate the procedure. I wish I had been sedated during it. I felt the doctor and staff there minimized... more

“New and Improved...hopefully -...”

I went to vital surgical in washington dc. The staff is very personable and patient. I really liked how they not only talked me through everything, including tellbme what feelings to expect, they also asked me over and over again if I had any questions. I was really impressed by the fact they did mind me taking pictures and having them take pictures for me. My appointment time was 6:30am... more

“Smart Lipo is SO Worth It! -...”

I am not overweight but I had several little areas of fat that wouldn't go away with exercise. I hated those little problem areas so much and they made me very self conscious. The first time I had Smart Lipo done it was on my upper/lower abdomen, and I loved the results so much I went back a second time for my flanks and hips. more

“Sides, Upper and Lower Stomach -...”

Im 5'3 and 146 lbs, I recently gained weight but last year from eating healthy was 123. I decided to get smart lipo because even when i was 123 lbs i still had a stomach so this discouraged me because after all the work I could not lose my stomach. It is easy to lose weight on my legs and arms as I can do cardio for hours. Anyways no one really posts step by step what happens. I had smart... more

“Results a plus Alexandria, VA”

HI, I went to American Lipo center about 6 weeks ago the staff was great and office was nice . The issue I am having is that after 6 weeks my stomach looks the same.

After receiving it for 1 year my weight shifted from 135 to 150 and didn't stop, even after stopping the shot. I am now 223lbs and horrified every time I look in the mirror. After alot of thought and a ton research I've decided to go with smart lipo hoping... more

“Two weeks After Smart Lipo - McLean, VA”

I went to the same doctor that did my laser hair removal so I was pretty familiar with the practice. Nonetheless, it’s been a month and I am still sore, but it’s getting better each day. Areas treated: upper and lower Abs, flanks and bra fat. 1. DO NOT do these four areas at the same time. Do the bra fat separately!! We decided to use one incision to reach my flanks and... more

“Finally Got Up the Nerve for Smart...”

My Smart Lipo is scheduled for tomorrow. I'm a little nervous and wondering how much pain I will be in afterwards. Even though I'm nervous I'm also looking forward to getting rid of this pouch.

Just a little backround info im 20 years old and 130 lbs (before surgery). I had a child 4 years ago and it shows. I have wrinkly skin around my belly button and an annoying pouch that not even with 4 day/a week workout would go away. I heard about smart lipo on tv and was thinking of going to my mother's country since it's half the price. As i was researching about it i came across... more

“Smartlipo on Upper&Lower Abs +...”

I am 26yo, 5'8, 165lbs (hopefully down another 5-10 lbs until the procedure) and like so many others on here just can't get rid of my gut... I have always been curvy and I like my shape, I just don't like how the midsection messes up the whole picture lol. On a serious note, though- I have always struggled with my stomach, although being active and athletic, I could never get rid... more

I'm 26 years old and a mother of 1. I've always had a really WIDE waist and no hips giving me a straight silhouette.

“SmartLipo Triplex (Abdomen and...”

Hi. I'm 5,2' 140lbs. I have always had a stomach even when I got down to 120 a few years ago. I kept exercising and dieting thinking the more weight I lost, the more my stomach would look better. I was wrong. I just lost my breasts, hips and butt and looked like a bobble head. My ideal weight is about 130ish and I'm working towards that again. I've been thinking about Lipo for... more

“$500 per ounce--not worth it -...”

I had the smart (laser) lipo on my abs. It has been about 6 weeks and I followed the post surgery directions to the letter. My abs are somewhat lumpy. I called and was told that is fat nodules and they will eventually (in months or months and months) go away. And, the results show only the slightest improvement. Save the $3000 and go on an expensive diet, loosing even 10-15 pounds will provide... more

“Choose Your Doctor Carefully... -...”

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. My measurements are the same as before six months after, which is an improvement on the swelling. Other than that, no charge. more

“Worth Every Penny”

I have been considering lipo for some time because I had pockets of fat around my belly and hips that no matter how much weight I lost would not go away. I am currently not at at an ideal weight but have been working on losing weight for months. I am 5'5" and between a 12/14.

Also I had inverted nipples which make me not like my DD breasts. Im over 1month post cirgury and I'm very happy with results. So when I first went to the free consultation. I was interested in... more

“So Far So Good - Silver Spring, MD”

I had smartlipo done yesterday on my upper and lower abs, waist, and arms. The procedure it self was not too bad. Occasionally he would hit a tender spot but he would quickly stop and re-direct the cannula. I was lightheaded and very sore immediately after but know 24 hours + later I feel great. The drainage peaked at arount 3AM and has pretty much slowed down to almost nothing. I do nor... more

“Male Chest and Flanks Smartlipo”

Male, 23, did smart lipo today (9 July) on chest and flanks. Pain is not that bad. Draining a good amount so changing gauze every 30 minutes. The procedure did not hurt at all, more of a mental anguish knowing that the instrument is ripping through you fiberous tissue. I can walk around with no problem after surgery. more

“Smartlipo - Flanks - Chevy Chase, MD”

I am set to get smartlipo on Friday, 4/16. Judging by the prices of those getting multiple areas done, I think that I may be paying a bit much. However, that being said, I am very happy with the doctor I chose. Although I have yet to see the product of his work, he is very well qualified on paper. At the consultation, I felt completely at ease as he took his time explaining everything to me... more

“Smart Lipo on Lower Abs and Flanks,...”

I am on my second day of laser lipo on lower abs and flanks. I work out regularly and eat healthy, but could not get rid of these areas. I was very anxious the day of surgery. My doctor and his staff were wonderful, caring and very informative throughout the process. Got on Adavan to help me relax, an another half hour later. Then a talk with my Doctor and onto the bed. On a scale of 1 to... more

“Amazing Results!”

I always carried around what I have refered to as a pooch. From the time I hit puberty my stomach was never flat and after having two kids the pooch got worse. I often thought about getting liposuction but knew that they would want to do the tummy tuck and I just did not want that big scar nor did I really want to be put under. After reading many reviews here and looking at doctor's in my... more

On July 11th I had smart lipo done on my inner thighs/knees. The procedure took about 2.5 hours and was painful but bearable. I went home around noon and i had some drainage until about 9 p.m. that evening. I had moderate black and blue bruising the first day, but it had disappeared by the very next morning. It was replaced with redness - the kind of redness you get from being burned after... more

“3 Months After Smart Lipo”

3 months later.......well, I have mixed feelings.  I had my upper and lower abs, flanks, and arms done.  I should clarify, that I mean the meat that shakes underneath my arms when I raise them and shake.  I did not have circumferential arms done, which some doctors do.  As you can see form the pics, I had alot of fat in my ab area.  My measurements before the surgery... more
