WORTH IT$3,000

I am a active 32yr female, who has worked out since my teenage years. Recently it has been hard to maintain my sexy body lol. Last year I took pictures for Jet beauty,but was not selected. I worked out hard ate right and lost 15lbs in about a month and a half. (I will post pix of me a year ago in bathing suit. I looked really good, and my friends asked me why do I need to do this reconstructive surgery you look good already? I try explaing to them that I have fat in my lower stomach, and love handles that will not go anywhere unless I go to extreme measures. I think this would be good for me, and make me feel sexy again!! I will post my before pictures I took today.. two days before surgery.

Good luck Pheona. I had my surgery on April 14 and it was the best money i ever spent. Like you I work out 5 days a week but I could just never loose my pooch and love handles ( I have two kids). I was and 8 or 10 before the surgery and after a week and a half a already notice a difference. Pants I could not fit before are loose. So good luck :)

Well it's the morning after, and to be honest I'm alittle sore, but I feel and look great already!! The first thing I did was change my pads {alot of bleeding and fluids}, and then took a quick peek at my results before putting back on my garmet and I must say I see a HUGE change already. My back looks amazing and so does my tummy. I can't believe it barely any swolleness(yet lol). I live by myself, so I have to do everything alone until friends and family can stop by. I took a shower this morning by myself as well ;) I let my dogs out (all 3) and fed them. I've been snacking on cackers and drinking Ensure, Water, and Powerade so far. I took my pain meds like I was told as well. I'm gonna walk around the house every couple hours to keep the blood flowing. I'm really happy so far, and hopefully I'll be back to work by Tuesday!!! If anything else chances before by one week follow up I'll post!!!

It's the end of the 4th day since my Smart Lipo. I am suppose to return back to work tomorrow, but I may need to take an extra day. I don't have any bruises and I'm not realy swollen, but my upper stomach is still very tender as my hips are. I feel like I did a million crunches without stopping. I'm starting to get cabin fever!!! I been drinking alot of water, crackers and tuna. I'm loving my new body. The hardest par is wearing this garmet allllllllllllllllll day and night, but my body has already formed to it so it's not that bad just irratating. I'm trying to wait until one week before I post updated pictures, but I might before. I want you guys to see what an excellent job my doctor has done. I'm already thinking about getting my inner thighs done lol.

Congrats Pheona! I'm currently debating whether to do lipo or not...I am a very muscled up from sports all my life. My thighs rub together, got love handles, and a belly that won't get flat! My doctor is pricing me around $2300 for all that. Does that seem reasonable? I'm nervous to go through with it!!
