I had smart lipo done on Feb 5th, 2009 on my abs and hips and would not recommend it. I am naturally slender, but after kids had a bit of a pooch on my belly. As a 40th birthday gift to myself I, I went ahead and got laser lipo. I can honestly say, I look worse. I now have a wierd looking lump on fat that can not be hidden under clothing. I've been back to my doctor who says it will go away in 4-6 months. I don't think it's going to go away, but for the sake of being permanently disfigured am hoping she's right. Any one else have "lumpy" results???

I do have some lumps and wrinkling - I would say it was still worth it overall. I had mine done on 7/17/2008.

it's been 4 months for me and I am lumpy, bumpy and look disfigured too. was told it's because I'm over 40 the healing is slower; they didn't say that when I had the procedure. I have a fat deposit in my female area and lines across my stomach and lumps around my belly button. I think Dr. Su's answer was great; too bad you are not in Houston!

we removed the referenced answer since it violates our user guidelines SueH- we removed a comment from a doctor that was written in 3rd person. It appeared to be posted by someone else within the doctor's practice and was self-promotional in nature. This is not acceptable

Hi ~ I had SmartLipo on October 17, 2008. I can totally relate to the lumpiness, but want to assure you that it will get better! I am 43, 5'3" & started out at 132lbs in a size 27 -28 jean. I am now in a 27 jean with NOTHING hanging over the waist, HOORAY - my belly is FLAT! I currently weigh 127 without any dieting after the procedure - but, I've been just as careful about what I eat as before. I think my progress has been PHENOMENAL! I only have a tiny lump today & I am confident it will be gone in no time! So, HANG IN THERE ~ I wasn't even able to feel all my skin until a month ago & was concerned about that...but, now everything FEELS normal! I think it's an AMAZING procedure & it has changed my life!

Wow...you give me hope! (Oh, I listed the date wrong - I had mine done in January not February). So, did you have pretty noticable lumpiness that actually went away? I still am sore, tight and have some numbness with a very noticable lump on one side and a smaller lump on the other. The lumps are very obvious to the touch as well as under t-shirts. I guess it's just hard to believe that they will actually go away. I hope your right! Did you massage them?

Hi - I cannot access your pictures and I wanted to see if I could notice your lumps around the belly button. I have the same thing and I am worried and dont understand how it would go away. Its only on the top of the belly button and it's very hard to the touch. I massage the area everyday but see no change. Also what kind of garment did you have. I am only 5'2" and the garment is too long for my torso. I actually have to fold some of it so I can have some additional compression. My abs & flanks were only done 9 days ago, am I asking for too much progress right now? I feel alot better today, much of the soreness has gone away. I am happy for that!
