Complications for Smart Lipo on pubic mound?
I'm interested in getting Smart Lipo for the mons pubis area, but this is a very delicate area, and I was wondering, are there any possible major complications that may occur after the procedure? Would the fat return after surgery? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

A: Smarter Lipo is without laser
Liposuction of this area is actually quite common and safe, with complications occurring rarely. "Smart Lipo" uses a laser, which can cause burns, and probably offers no real advantage. There are of course different opinions on this subject but traditional liposuction should work fine.
A: SmartLipo of the mons pubis
Any liposuction technique should accomplish reduction of the fat from the mons. With any liposuction technique, if fat is removed, the skin stays the same, so drooping can occur. Often patients come with the complaint of excess fat of the mons, and the problem turns out to be a combination of excess... more

Once fat cells have been removed from an area, new fat cells do not form. The remaining fat cells in that area can enlarge with significant weight gain however, that is why it is important to maintain your weight. A rare complication of Smartlipo is skin burn but this is not more likely in this area than any other. The results we see with Smartlipo of the mons pubis are very good.

My Mons is what got me in this mess...After maintaining my weight loss. I had a breast reduction and a Abdominalplasty done in 2005.. But my Mons was swollen like a water balloon. I was assured that would resolve.. It did not so therefore in May 2008, I asked my family Doctor what could I do to fix it... I was given a pamplet to read and saw a "specialist" who could solve my problem... You guessed it.. SmartLipo... quick, easy and I could be back up and doing yard work within a few days. Nothing went right.. Huge Hematoma, had to quit the procedure and wait 5 months to proceed. So in 5 months I go back now I have sagging skin that needs pulled up. No Problem, Office Procedure "SmartLipo" and then pull the bottom of my torso skin up to the top torso.. Results were..hideous. Took 6 hours in a Doctors office, huge incision, massive blisters and burns.. I am over 6 months out now and my abdomen is still not healed completely.. I have pain, a Leadbelly" I can not move my abdomen muscles, loss of sensation all over the front of the abdomen. My self esteem is down the drain, and psychologically I have had it.. I am at wits end.. and I can't find anyone to help me fix it.. My advice is stay away from "SmartLipo". It's a bunch of BS.. It's a Gimmick. I am walking proof of it. I just want someone to fix me. Tonight I am sporting on my left side of the Abdomen a Wonderful bright Red Skin that is moving in no particular direction.. The Left side of my abdomen has been painful since the day SmartLipo was done on it. I am a Retired RN so I have medical knowledge behind me. I basically have been burned up from the inside out... The outside is still pretty nasty looking... I can only imagine what the inside of me looks like since it does not bend, flex etc.. Its like Lead or being made of wood. Thanks for letting me just put out what "SmartLipo" has done to my life. Have a great Weekend.
