“Loving my Smart Lipo!!”

 I am now on my 40th day (including day of smart lipo since some results were slightly noticeable then) since I've had smart lipo done. I had my love handles, inner, and outer thighs done and now I am loving it! I wasn't so sure the first few weeks. You really do have to be patient and know that what you are experiencing is normal and will  change. I freaked out when I felt like my skin was tearing when I would get up from sitting too long or try to bend down. It literally felt like I was ripping my skin off the muscle, but that too is gone. I still have quite a bit of swelling ( my Dr. said it's adema) on my waist on the left side which too will go down in time. Right now it is like silly putty and molds anything that touches it. It still feels kind of hard too. I am trying my best to keep massaging it to help drain the fluid more but it is still very tender. I also had vaser done in certain areas at the same time, which really tones the skin and smoothes it out. I am having some more done to the back of my thighs to help with my remaining cellulite. It is amazing what vaser can do! I am adding some pics because I know seeing IS believing!! Headed to the beach today in my new bikini! Can't wait!!! Also I was told there was a possibility and it seems that luck found me that my chest is getting a little bigger. My Dr. mentioned this could happen since the body needs to redeposit the fat elsewhere. unfortunately this means I must be gaining some weight so when I can start fully working out again they'll probably go too, but it's nice for now!!

I am now a little over 2 months since my surgery. I am so pleased with my results, especially my thighs! Having been in dance, gymnastics, karate,  & cheerleading in the past I had HUGE muscular thighs that all went to yuck when I stopped and it was impossible to get rid of. I never thought I would like my thighs EVER! I hope to see more cellulite minimize now that I am going to the gym non-stop. I realize that the fat IS redistributing to areas that were never a problem, mainly my lower stomach so now I really have to work to get it back to where I want it. Did anyone else notice a weight gain anywhere?
