I am scheduled for Cellulaze and Smartlipo tomorrow morning with Dr. B in Miami. I am excited and cannot wait for the results. I am 5'4" and weight 115 and work out all the time but I have been plagued with cellulite. I also cannot get rid of a little fat in the stomach area with constant workouts. I had a consult with the doctor 2 weeks ago. He was very informative and very down to earth with a great bed side manner. I will post before and after photos in updates.
I bruise very easily any helpful information or suggestions to make this more pleasant for me is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for the luck. I had the surgery this...

I forgot to mention in my first post that my Doctor did not use local anesthesia. He put me under for the whole procedure so I was not uncomfortable for the three hours it took.
I will post pictures soon.

A little synopsis of my last few weeks: As of to day I am happy and I hope that I will continue to see more improvements. With that said, this is not a minor procedure and calculate your time and lifestyle if you planning of doing this. The reviews state that this is a minor procedure and you will feel fine a day or two latter. My doctor used general anesthesia, that god. I was in a lot of pain for a couple weeks after the procedure and I still have some discomfort. I still have burning and occasionally sharp pains. The pain is manageable now. My biggest complaint is all the incisions that they need to make. I have 12 incisions. I hope and pray that the scars will diminish with time. I discussed this with my Doctor today and he said to give them at least three months than we will see is any of the scars need to be touched up.
I did not see much improvement until this week. My biggest pro is that I picked a great doctor and it looks like in the end I will get the results I wanted. My biggest con was the pain and the potential scars.
I am posting all pictures in my dropbox account though out the last 5 weeks and will give an up-date in the future. Good luck to all the ladies that are getting this procedure. My biggest advise is pick a good doctor that knows what they are doing.

Thanks for posting the pictures. Your befores are similar to what I have, so its great to see that you have had some really nice changes. Please continue to keep us posted on how the healing is going, or any other side effects you notice. I'm really interested (as I'm sure many others are) on hearing what goes on in the long run. Hopefully all good things. :)
Thanks for sharing with us that you had general anesthesia for the procedure. I know with other procedures that is often a separate cost. Do you mind me asking there was an additional fee for it, or was it included in the $8K you paid?
I'm so glad to hear the pain is starting to ease up for you!!
Sorry to hear you are in pain today sobemom. :( Were you given anything to take for it? If not I would call the office & let them know you are in pain. At least that way they can advise you on what options you have - no reason to be uncomfortable if you don't have to be.
Please keep us posted on how you are feeling!!
