WORTH IT$5,000

I had my smart lipo done 3 weeks ago.The surgery went well. I seen results right away with a little swelling and bruising.

The garmet is a hate love thing:-).Hard taking off and on the first 2 weeks with the area so sore. I laughed when a girl posted it took her and husband to get it on and off. I know what she means now.The leakage was not as bad as I thought it would. I wasn't sure what to expect when they gave me a shower curtain.The post-op has been a little more diffucult than I Expected. I am glad I waited a week to go back to work. I love the results but still having a hard time to get use to the feeling of my skin. I only have to wear my garmet now for 12hrs a day for 3 weeks instead of 24 hrs a day (except to shower)for 3 weeks. I couldn't stand the feeling of the sheets so I had to put the garmet back on. I am schedule for velashape July 7th which is part of my package. I am not sure that my skin is up to this. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Hi Hope -- Happy to hear you like your results. :) What about your skin feels different? Is it looser?

I can't stand the feeling of my skin either. I have to wear my garment to exercise and sleep. I'm hoping this goes away soon, it's pretty annoying.

I posted pictures..My skin has been gettting tighter and my stretch marks are looking a little better. I knew going into the surgery they would not go away but with a little skin tighting I thought they would better. I do think they are starting to look better now.I will post more pics as I am now 12 weeks out from my surgery.

Wow. Even at 5 days, you look great. You can definitely tell a big difference early on. So now that you're 12 weeks out, I'm sure you look amazing. Skin tightening hasn't started for me as of yet. I still have tiny skin rolls that look like the equivalent of crows feet for the tummy that aren't noticable in my pictures.
