“Smart Lipo- I Think It is Good! -...”
Hello guys! My name is Renee and I am 20 years old, 5'3", and 145 lbs.

In October I went to a upscale spa in Roslyn, N.Y. to see about this miracle easy no-operation, lipo procedure...I was having difficulty losing weight in my mid-section, upper & lower front & back and my upper neck.

I'm 22 y old, 5'11 196 pounds. I lost 45 pounds when I was 15 and managed to keep the weight off for years until I moved to the US 3 years ago...I guess I couldnt resist all these american goodies and ended up gaining around 40 pounds last year.

“Smart Lipo on Chin and Upper/lower...”
I chose smart lipo bc of multiple reasons. One being the proximity in price for coolsculpting (2500 for upper and lower abs) and smart. There is still no coolsculpting (zeltiq) for ones face yet. I am in very good shape, and have ran MARATHONS but still can't lose a double chin and have never seen abs. The summer of 2011 will be it, I can feel it......smartlipo combined w/p90x this summer... more

“Smart Lipo MPX & Vaser to Upper Arms...”
After years of feeling uncomfortable in my clothes, and without the extra time to do much at the gym other than maintain my weight, I decided to try laser lipo. The doctor says he will use Smart Lipo MPX and/or Vaser technologies depending on variables such as skin type and amount of fat to be removed. I'm 29 years old, 5'7" and between 135 and 140 pounds depending on the... more
My fat chin has bothered me since I was in high school. No matter how much I dieted, I still had a fat pad under my chin. Dr. S suggested Smartlipo since it would be a quick procedure not require general anesthesia. The procedure was much easier than I imagined and I could see the results the next day. more

“I Regret Smart Lipo W/fat Injections...”
My doctor was a very good salesman and talked me into Smart Lip w/fat injections - said I would never need a facelift. Recovery pretty ugly with a bruised face/neck and a burn from the laser right in the middle of my neck under my chin. Except for two small fat pockets/bumps (which I still have), I looked pretty good after one month. 1 1/2 years later, I now have a band of skin right down the... more

I have never EVER felt so much pain in my life. I did go to a board... more

“Smartlipo on Inner Thigh, Bra Rolls,...”
I had smartlipo performed on a few areas in OCT2009. I am somewhat pleased with my results, but have a major concern on my back (bra fat) area. My inner thighs are fine, my arms are still somewhat the same, but they are a bit more streamlined and have been responding to exercise which was never the case before. My bra fat area is better than what it was, however, one side is bigger than the... more

I had smartlipo done on my flanks on 9/24/09 & went back on 9/25/09 to get my bra rolls done.I had had traditional liposuction a few years ago and the recovery was so painful and uncomfortable I felt like I had been hit by a mack truck the next day.

“SmartLipo Totally Worth It! (Flanks,...”
Pros: very little down time. I had surgery on Fri (flanks) and Sat (upper\lower abs) and was at work on Monday. I was exercising fully after 3 weeks but could have gotten back into it sooner.I lead a very healthy lifestyle but these areas were just too tough to see results. I wasn't looking for a weight loss solution, just a headstart in the gym. I already exercise regularly and eat well so... more

I have been struggling with these areas for some time and all the exercise in the world didn't give me the results I was hoping for. I heard about Smart Lipo and decided to go for a consultation in nearby Stamford, Ct.I was amazed at the time the doctors took to explain the procedure to me along with showing before and after photos. I was shown the machine and how the procedure would actually... more
“39 Year Old Woman, Couldn't Lose...”
I had been toying with the idea of liposuction for a while but could not bring myself to go through with it as I had heard and read a lot of horror stories of liposuction gone wrong but when I came across this new procedure, Smartlipo, and reading a lot about it I was convinced that this is what I had been waiting for.I am a 39 year old woman; I work out often but was never able to lose my... more

We waited for two months... more
I had regular liposuction done 12 years ago and it was so painful that I told myself I would never do it again (spent 2 weeks in bed)… 5 years later the fat was back and although I worked out I could not lose the weight… so I decided it was time to get those areas corrected. I opted for Smart Lipo. On 4/6 I had my upper and lower abdomen done. The procedure itself... more
I had SMARTLIPO to get rid of the fat under my chin. Not only did the procedure not work, it made me look worse. Now I find out that the procedure which uses lipo and then a laser to tighten the skin, is only successful in five percent, according to several plastic surgeons I have spoken to. Is this ethical to offer a procedure that a doctor knows will not work? more
I am a 24 year-old male who just had liposuction performed on my flanks, back, and a tiny area on my abdomen where I had a small fat pocket that made my stomach look rather asymmetrical. I am in good shape--I run, I work out, I eat relatively healthy (I'm a college student, so pizza and other junk-food does factor into the equation, as well!) I had SmartLipo performed earlier this... more
“Smartlipo on Inner and Outer Thighs,...”
I have always thought of getting lipo but it was always too scary to go through with. I have had cellulite issues all my life. I am very athletic but I cant get rid of this issue.

But it seemed so easy, they way... more

I had smart lipo done on my upper and lower abs. Still being swollen (moving down to my lowe stomach area) I can see a big difference. I know I have a long way to go to see the final results, but so far it's worth it. The procedure itself was uncomfortable at times. The first numbing injections stung a little bit but went away. I they took a velum and another pain medication. The second... more
