I had my procedure done on Wednesday March 6, 2013...

I had my procedure done on Wednesday March 6, 2013. I have been reading reviews since before i had the procedure done so i figured any type of review would be helpful for those planning to undergo the procedure so here i am. I underwent Smart Lipo of my abdomen flanks and portions of my back. I know i am not going to look like a swimwear model post procedure but i have always had a belly no matter how small i have been that i can not get rid of. Prior to procedure i am 5"3 and weigh 130lbs.

I underwent the procedure with general anesthesia as my physician recommended that it would be more comfortable, and he would probably be able to do more work. I don't remember anything from the moment i was given the versed, Post procedure i was in recovery room in a great amount of pain, which was controlled immediately with what ever it was the nurse gave me. I was taken home about 45 minutes later and had to use seat covers due to the large amount of drainage (It was literally a bloody mess!) The drainage stopped the next morning from all but one of the incisions. I noticed immediate results the first day post op, and have had to take pain medications around the clock for the first two days. I am on day three, still swollen and my abdomen is hard, my back is numb but i am extrememly excited to see the final result and get this daymn compression dressing off. I cant say that the pain is the worst ever as i think it is normal with the trauma my body was put through. I have never had kids but i feel like i had a c/Section and 6 kids were pulled out!! My upper body feels tight and i find it difficult to sit down or lie down. I am not in as much pain as i was the first two days, and find it getting easier to do things and move around. The pain and discomfort is subsiding on a daily basis. Like i said expect pain as your body is being traumatized but dont expect any miracles. I have noticed a great difference already and am only 3 days post op with a great amount of swelling. I am looking forward to the final results.

Dr. Agullo was very polite, well mannered and took the time to sit and explain the procedure as well as go through any and all questions. His bedside manner was great and he was very approachable. I did extensive research and had lots of references prior to the procedure. Very glad i went with him! His office staff was also very professional.
