How Soon Can I Go Back to Jogging After Smart Lipo?

before smart lipo i jogged 5 miles a day....how soon can i go back to that

A: i would let you go back to jogging in 5-7 days

Please realize that different surgeons will have different opinions and they will use the smartlipo on different patients. i reserve the smartlipo for those pts who need relatively small amounts of fat removed, so i feel comfortable letting them jog at 5-7 days. it is important that you consult with your own surgeon since your case may be different than the average patient that i treat.

Can I Get Smart Lipo at 300 Pounds?

I am 300 lbs can I get smart lipo and will it help in the trouble areas? I would like to get bra area, upper and lower stomach, inner thighs and arms.

A: no you should definitely NOT get smartlipo

I believe smartlipo works best for small areas of fat removal. even ultrasonic liposuction which is better used in those with larger amounts of fat is not appropriate for you. you need to lose a significant amount of wt either by diet and exercise or by a gastric bypass/stomach balloon etc, to be a better candidate for liposuction. please excuse the bluntness of the answer but i think if a surgeon were to do any type of liposuction on your at this wt, it would not be a good idea.

What is the Normal Range of Fat Removed Via Smart Lipo?

I just had smart lipo done and would like to know how much pounds is normal to come off from smart lipo? I am a 25 year old patient about 5'4. I believe I had 5 pounds taken off. Is this reasonable or good?

A: i doubt very much that you had 5 lbs removed

I presonally think that smartlipo is most effective in those with relatively small amounts of fat to be removed. remember too, that the surgeon always injects tumescent fluid before doing the smartlipo, so this will be part of what is removed. furthermore, i believe a huge part of the benefit from smartlipo comes from tne microscarring that the procedure creates. this causes the tightening to continue for up to 6 months. i would focus more on how you look after the procedure and less on how many ccs  are removied (this is what we measure, not lbs).

Good luck.
