How soon do you see results with Smart LIpo?

I am having Smart Lipo soon, and I was wondering how soon you can see results. I know what I have read, but I wanted to hear from those who have actually had the procedure. Also, I am worried that the compression garment won't fit under my clothes comfortably and that I will have nothing to wear to work!! Any input on the procedure would be helpful and much appreciated. Thanks!!!

I have had smartlipo 3 months ago. I got it done in sc. I had my lower abdomen and bra bulge (flanks) done. I done see a change at all. When I returned to my physician in Florence, she stated that I should lose weight and then I will notice a change... she said that I gained 5 lbs and need to lose 5-10 lbs to notice a change. If it were that easy, i wouldnt have come to her in the first place. i wish I hadnt done it...well especially in florence,sc. So now i am really trying to lose weight but it was a waste of my money ($3000).You know what they say--you get what u pay for.

Hi, I had smart lipo in conjunction with tumecent lipo on March 11th. I had my upper and lower abs, chin, love handles, bra roll, and fat pads done and am REALLY disappointed. I had little bruising, but my abdomen is still very sore. My chin is hard and lump and I have not lost any inches at all. It was worse pain that having any of my four children and it took over 11 hours. I wish I would have kept saving and had the tummy tuck. It is a lot of money to see no difference at all.

I'm considering smart lipo on my saddlebags inner thighs and knees. How long does the swelling last, and how long til the scars fade? I am planning a beach vacation the end on November, is eight week enough time for healing?
