Why: Dr. Pellow listened to everything I said in my hopes for a great result. He was meticulous with every detail and very kind. See for yourself!
I had smart lipo in Spokane Wa. The procedure was March 28th. Dr. did smart lipo on my abdomen, love handles and bra area. Today is March 31st.....still bruised by it already looks amazing. I will post pics as soon as I can.

That's so exciting, I'm so glad you are healing well. I'm excited and terrified about having smartlipo (LIpoLITE) done on my upper and lower abs. I am 37, 5'2" and 117pounds. I had traditional lipo done about 13 years ago, twice, and while it helped, it never gave me the results I wanted, even though I work out and eat well. I have the procedure scheduled, but I'm terrified of looking worse after than I do now. I'm single, I'm not telling anyone I'm having it- and I'm scared of the 'roping' bumping lumping etc. that I've been reading about. I don't want to feel self-conscious if/ when I have a new partner after the procedure. What do you think? My doctors office is also telling me what seems contradictory to what these boards say. It's a reputable office, the doctor has appeared on national tv shows and trains other doctors in the procedure. They say I can return to work the next day, the swelling and bruising will be down quickly, I can be in a bikini in a month with no-one being able to tell I did something. I'm so torn with this decision- it's all I can think about!!!

I'm going to have the Vaser Smart Lipo on my upper/lower abs and hips on 4/30/09. I agree with Sillygyrl, reading about the roping etc does make me nervous. I've only told one girlfriend so she will be able to help me while I'm down and out. I'm 38 with 2 kids who will be with their father for his weekend. I would love to see some of the pictures.
