“Abs and Flanks - Houston, TX”

I am a 43 year-old mother of three. I brought these beautiful beings into this world by c-section. After my last baby (in 2008), I began to notice that while I got down to as low as 116 pounds (I'm 5 ft.), there was a little bulge in my tummy. I began to call it my kangaroo pouch. LOL. Well, after this child, my husband and I also decided to go on birth control. With this, I began to slowly... more

“It's a slow process, but worth it.”

I had the smart lipo done 3 months ago but haven't really seen much result yet, though adviced by my surgeon to wait for at least 6 months to see the final result. I was a little optimistic at the beginning but is getting more dissapointed as the days goes on. I'm not even sure if he had really removed enough fat on my abdomen & seems nothing on the annoying fat under my breasts. I... more

“Confused - Humble, TX”

I'm getting my procedure done in 8 days, i'm feeling very nervous, anxious, scared, excited, a little bit of everything. I'm not sure whether to go through this procedure or not, as I am hearing lots of pros and cons. I'm 32 years old have 4 kids and weigh about 150 lbs., I'm only getting my abs and flanks done. I don't have fat anywhere else. But I'm not sure anymore if I want to go through... more

“Upper & Lower Stomach, Love...”

Hello World, I'm a 33 woman who is 5'8 and 170 lbs I have 2 beautiful daughters who I love dearly they are 10yrs apart (yes I really waited awhile).

I had my tummy, upper and lower done 17 days ago and I have already gone down a whole clothing size! I have always had a pouchy belly! Pre-pregnancy and a bit larger after 3 babies.

“Afraid - Houston, TX”

I was afraid because I had lipo done years ago, but relocated shortly thereafter and never attended any follow treatment, thus my swollen stomach. It was something I was just prepared to live with. The uneven bulge showed in a dress I wanted to wear and I decided to do something about it. Smart lipo. I am a few hours out from my recovery. Some parts of the procedure I remember and others I... more

“NOT What I Expected, and NOT What I...”

I went to consultation for smart lipo on my abdominal area and did my research and its funny when you look up Smart Lipo all you see is positive stuff and once something goes wrong all you see is negative.

“Smart Lipo "Upper Abs, Lower Abs,...”

I had my smart lipo performed today. But First I must extend HUGE thank you to those who have shared before me because I was more prepared for this procedure than ever possible without you.

After my consultation and... more

“To Early to Say, but Hope It Will Be...”

Had a smart lipo on lower and upper abdominal, upper arms and bra-area. The lipo was almost painfree, just a bit uncomferable a couple of times. I slept through part of it. The Dr. had some probleme with my lower abdominal, cause the fat was "hard" due to earlier surgery to fix scars. Hopefully it will look better than it used to. I've changed my bandages once today... more

“Very Worried About Uneven Skin! -...”

Hi- I had smart lipo about 3 weeks ago on my abdomen (upper and lower) and my flanks. My skin right now is very uneven. There are bumps all over my upper abdomen. They are not hard, but soft and mushy. My flanks and lower abdomen look great, but if these bumps dont go away, I will be devastated. I can't wear a bikini with my stomach like this.. :-( Is it too soon for me to be worrying... more

“A Year After Smart Lipo; Not Worth...”

I had smartlipo a year ago. I look worse than I did with lumps, sagging, uneven skin tone, uneven legs, stomach and arms.I was told when I went in for the last appointment by one of the nurses that no one is usually happy with this procedure. I wonder why doctors are getting away performing this? my guess is because we all look at the before and after photos and believe them and they are all... more

“Be Prepared for Upsetting Results -...”

I had lower abs/flanks, inner/outer thighs (front and back) and saddlebags done. I am 10 months out. So much lumpiness, unevenness in legs and saddlebags. Many scars. I can not even wear shorts and won't even consider putting on a bathing suit. I would give almost anything to rewind time and NOT do this. It is emotionally damaging, and I am completely ashamed. The doctor told me how great... more

“Smart Lipo on the Upper/lower Abs...”

Hi All, I had Smart Lipo done 4 days ago on my upper and lower abdominals and flanks. I only drained the day of the surgery but I drained a lot and after that, it stopped. Day 2 was the most painful and the hardest thing was getting into and out of the car along with getting up from sitting down. The jury is still out on my results because I still feel like it looks the same on my... more

“So Far, So Good!”

I worked for this doctor last summer and I got SmartLipo as a trade-out. Instead of having the procedure in the hot summer, I opted for yesterday, December 19th, for cooler weather. I am 24 hrs. post-op. I had my lower stomach, outer thighs, inside knees up and muffin top done. I am 54, have excersized my whole life, never had children and am a dance teacher. These areas just would not go... more

“Only on Day 3 but So Far, It Was...”

I had my smartlipo procedure done on Thursday, Aug 28th at 7:00am.  Let me tell you, I was scared to death.  My first mistake was watching a video on utube so that was all that I could think about when I got there.  First I put on a gown, they measured me, took pictures and drew the guidelines on me.  Then I got two shots.  One was to relax me and I guess it... more

“So Far So Good”

After a month delay due to the flu, I finally had my procedure done August 6 (the day after I got back from Greece).  I was SO nervous, but they gave me Valium and Demerol and Versed and I had no problems. BACKGROUND:  I will be 39 in less than a month.  No kids.  5'2" and always athletic or slim at 102 lbs.  So much so, in fact, that I was a figure competitor in... more

“Smart Lipo on 7/17/2008 - Hoping for...”

I had Smart Lip on 7/17/2008. I was always a petite person, however after two kids I definately had a stomach. After researching the alternatives I had decided that SL could be the answer. So I went with it! I was not really nerves the days prior to the procedure, but once I was in the waiting room, that all changed, once I changed into the surgical underwear, was marked, photographed my... more

“SmartLipo - A Blogger's Tale”

I first heard of Smart Lipo when I met Dr. at an Online Marketing summit in July. Dr. B is was one of the first doctors in the country to ever practice SmartLipo. When I went in for my procedure in August (I had three areas done - upper and lower abs and love handles) - I asked him if I could LIVE broadcast the procedure over the web using UStream - and he said yes! So throughout the entire... more
