“Possible Nerve Damage from SmartLipo”
I had smartLipo on my stomach, love handles, abdominal area, neck and chin.
After the surgery on my stomach area I woke up one night with a white hot pain shooting down my thigh, the pain was so intense it made me nauseous. I spoke with my doctor that performed the smartlipo and he stated that it sounded like a nerve and suggested it was the way I was sleeping, I then began having pain on my left hip area also.
I had the surgery on my neck and chin area and now I am having the same problem on the right side of my face. I am having trouble speaking and pain radiates up the right side of my face. When I try to talk to the doctor about the problems I am having he acts like he has never heard of the problems I am having.
I have decided to make an appointment with regular physician and discuss the problems. It has only been a month since I have had the stomach area and a couple of weeks on the neck and chin, so things may get better. I did perform checks on the doctor with the medical board before I went to him for the surgery.
There are pros and cons to this, I am seeing a difference since the surgery but I don't know if it is worth the pain and problems I am having, but who's to say that everyone will have the same problems. I suggest just researching as much as you can and other options available.
