Finally I'm glad I did it.

I just had smartlipo 4 hours ago. I do not see result yet but feel not bad. My doctor was very gentle and professional. Staffs were friendly.

It was 2 hours and doctor removed only 400cc of fat. I thought it was more than that.

It's not very painful. The worst part is numbing. Laser and sucking fat are not comfortable but bearable.

I will update more as soon as I get any result.

Today is almost 3 weeks and I do not see any result :( The ab is still big and I can tell fat is there.

I went to meet doctor 3 times already and he kept sayign that that my loose musle not the fat :( geezzz, I'm not a kid and I know what is fat what is skin man so disappointed.

They charged me over 6k but when I asked for a garment since the first one they gave is too big for me, they refused. Oh boy, not remmend smartlipo and not recommend my doctor at all.

Day 2. My abdomen is very sore :( But I do not take any pain medicine, only Tylenol is good enough. I had just a small drainage. I took off all the wraps that the nurse had wrapped me and my abdomen is swelling. I think I will se the result very soon. Have to check up with doctor today.

I'm very sore and swollen :( Doctor said that my incisions are closed so that the fluid not get out and still inside that make my abdomen look bigger. Does anyone know how to reduce swollen? thanks.

I've read on other posts that it takes about 2 weeks for the bruising to go away and about a month to see a difference with the swelling. I'm going to get my lower/upper abs and hips done on 4/30/09. Keep me posted, I'm nervous.

I live in New England, so I'm having in done in Natick, MA. You should read the posts by Amy Joy and SpunkyOne, both are in depth about the bruising and swelling. I think waiting is the worst part, I hope you're feeling better :)
