“Smart lipo upper and lower abs...lower back and flanks are next week.”
Smart Lipo: Worth it
Pain: Uncomfortable
I had my upper and lower abs done. The procedure itself was pain free. Took a Zanax before hand, and I listened to my mp3 to drown out any noise, and I was pretty relaxed through the whole thing.
Yes...There was pain, brusing,and some draining the next day. I would say, the next day is the worst. Every day got better and better. I was out and about running errands two days later. The deep dark bruses went away, along with the pain, in about a week. Keep in mind that I had A LOT of work done. Plus, I am 48, not sure if that makes a difference, but thought I would mention it.
I am thrilled with the results so far, and I am looking forward to getting the rest done next week. I am a little embarrassed to post the pics, but there is such a huge difference, that I thought anyone considering having this done should see my results. Flanks and Lower Back next week...
Wish me luck...I will post the pics. :)

Thank you :) At the time of the after photo, I had lost about 3" in some places and 4" in the lower area. I have since had the flanks, waist and that lower part of the upper back done, so I am swollen from that. Can't wait for the final result ! It is already looking pretty good.

When are you having your procedure done? And, are you having all of those areas done at the same time? She did my upper and lower abs, one day and a month later I had the flanks, sides (waist area) and the bra roll done. So I went twice. I am 3 weeks post the second procedure. I will post more pics today or tomorrow. I think as far as missing work..it depends on what you do. I had to take about 4-5 days off because my job requires a lot of lifting and bending. Plus, I think it depends on how much you are having done. Just my opinion :) I was very heavy and had a lot of fat removed. (2 1/2 liters first time and about 1 1/2 the second). I am very happy I did it. I am a lot more comfortable in my clothes. I just feel better about myself.
