I am a 26 yr old female, and I had SmartLipo about 2 weeks ago. I have to admit the experience during the procedure was a bit uncomfortable but nothing more than some pinching and stinging. I am still a little bruised, but I bruise very easily.

I was in a lot of pain the first day but with the pain Rx I was perfectly content. EVERY day I get smaller and smaller. From reading the other reviews I would say that most of the people who had negative results are older than 35 and didnt have good elasticity in their skin to begin with. I am very happy with my results even now with all of the swelling. You will definitely look flatter on your tummy even right after the procedure even with all of the swelling. I would recommend this for anyone who is trying to lose those pesky 10-15lbs like me, and remember...

TO GET THE BEST RESULTS YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW ALL OF THE PRE OP AND POST OP INSTRUCTIONS. ALSO- USE THE ARNICA GEL AND ARNICA TABLETS RELIGIOUSLY TO HELP WITH BRUISING AND SWELLING. THEY WORK WONDERS AND HELP WITH SORENESS!

I would have this procedure again in a heartbeat.

I had my procedure 11 days ago and I am still swollen and bruised as well. I also noticed some hard spots that my doctor said to message out. I will get the Arnica Gel. Where do youget it? I am 48 and fit. 5'6 I was 145 pre op. Have not weighed myself yet. But my clothes fit better and the belly and muffin top is gone. Just still swollen.My doctors said it is about 5 to 6 months before the final outcome. So we have to be patient.

hi :) I am glad to see everything is going well for you! I am 5 days post op and 26 as well! I was wondering how you're doing with the massages on your tummy? I can imagine its very painful is that why you use the ARNICA?

I'm 32, just had my lovehandles smart-lipo'ed, 10 days ago. I have very hard spots and I'm starting to massage out but it's very painful. Glad to hear that I'm not the only one with hard-spots under the skin. I was worried. I'm still swollen and bruised but every day now I see significantly less bruising and swelling. Hopefully, another 10 days and the pain will subside. Thanks for the tip on the arnica..
