WORTH IT$4,000
7 months: Well, it's been 7 months since I have smartlipo. I have to say that I'm very pleased with my results. The only thing that I wish was a little different is a small sunken spot on my stomach on the right side just above my belly button. A little too much fat was taken out there but it's not terribly noticable. And I'm in the process of getting back down to the 115 lbs that I was before I gained 10 lbs several years ago. Hopefully after I've lost about 5 more pounds, the sunken spot won't be noticable at all. The receptionist e-mailed me my before and after pictures but did not send the ones of me turned so that you can see the sunken spot. They all knew I was a little insecure about that one spot anyway, so I'm sure they wanted to just make me feel more positive about my results in which case, I can't blame them. Over all, I am pleased with my results, fully healed and happy I made this decision.

Day 79: I uploaded a few pictures a couple day ago. I haven't been in any pain for several weeks now. I'm very happy with the outcome. However there is still some unevenness on my right side but it is not noticeable in pictures very much.
The nurse told me that If i gain weight the fat will go to other parts of my body like my butt or thighs. Uuugghh! I didn't think of that when having the surgery. Well, I guess that just means I have to take extra precaution from here on out.

How would you rate the procedure now? Worth it? How is your lumpyness and hardness, even though in your pictures I dont see any of that. Do you think your gonna have to go back for a touch up?
I still say it's 100% worth it. I still have a few dents but it seems like I'm the only one that really notices them. It's kind of like we are our own worst critic. I'm very happy with the outcome. I do not have anymore hardness. I do not feel I need a touch up as I'm happy with how I look now.

Day 26: I'm in no pain, whatsoever. I'm still numb around my belly button. It still looks smaller than before I had the procedure. Most of the induration has gone away on the right side of my belly button. However, the left side is still very hard. It's mildly tender when pushing on it. I've been trying to give myself massages here and there but that doesn't seem to make it go away any quicker.
The pictures that I've uploaded are from this morning when I just woke up. Everything is nice and even when I wake up but as the day progresses, I do puff back up quite a bit...more in some areas than others.
I've started back on light workouts. Doing crunches doesn't cause any discomfort really. Walking at a brisk pace is fine but if I get to a jog or run, it still feels like my sides are ripping a little.

Wow- thanks for the pics-there is a huge difference and you look great already! Imagine in 2 more months, it is supposed to get better and better. You had your surgery 10 days before mine and I appreciate your posts about your progress. So far I see a changes about every 2-3 days. Thanks for sharing your experience so far.
Thank you so much! Sorry for the late reply, I haven't checked this page for about a week. Right now, I have not seen anymore changes. I'm still nice and smooth in the morning and very lumpy by noon. How has your swelling been coming along?
Thank you for the encouragement! I will try to stay positive! I unfortunately still have all my original rolls :(
You look great though and I wish you continued improvements!

It has been 12 weeks since my surgery. My skin is starting to feel normal.No more garmet yahoo!I had my velshape done on Tuesday which was part of my package.Things are going well and I am very excited.
I swelled a lot too with those hard areas you mention. Everyone says it's early. I'm finally getting in to my regular clothes even with the compression garments on. Your pics look great. Definitely smaller and firmer. Yes we swell the most after a long busy day. I look forward to mornings to check progress. We are in the same boat:-)
update...my skin feels normal now :-) my surgery was June 3 it too longer than I expected. I am happy with the outcome.
