Smart Lipo: Stories

What was your weight and height when you had it done? I have an appt with the same doctor next Sat.

Hi Chrissy1290, for the abs my doc made small incisions in the folded skin around my belly button. I already had some scarring there from a previous non-cosmetic abdominal surgery, and in my case I think he made my belly button look better! The other incision is a tiny little cut maybe as big as this --- in the pubic area. I'm kinda "natural" down there so it is hidden in the hair. For the flanks I was left with two tiny dots, not even cuts really, one on either side of the the base of my spine. My doc also made an incision on each side, hard to describe but the best I can say is about 1/2 way down my hips on the side of the cheek. The left side is tiny and not noticable. The right side is much longer and right now is still purpley red colored and very noticable. It doesn't really bother me because I feel I look so much better now. Also I'm using the neosporin scar patches which I have used before on non-cosmetic surgical scars with great results. If you are worried about scarring I strongly urge you to question your doctor closely about it. My guy had tons of before and after photos to show me so I felt confident about his work. Ask him to draw the scars on you with a pen (he will draw all over you in prep for the surgery, this is not as goofy as it might sound) and you can see if you could live with it or not. Good Luck!

Hi, I am really considering having smart lipo done on my abs and flanks as well. I was hoping you could tell me where they went in from for the abs...ive heard 2-3 incisions around the area, but ive also heard through the navel area. And what did your doctor say about scarring? That is my main concern. Would also love to see your pics. Hope you are recovering well! Thanks in advance for any answers/info!

i thought they automatically went to the "was it worth" area when you submitted it, i'm sorry about that, i had no clue. thanks so much for moving it for me, i really appreciate it, jamie

can you tell me how the heck do i get my review up on here? i've followed all the steps and yet my review is not up here? i want it where it says "add your review" like where yours is. mine is only in my profile and i cant seem to get it up here like where yours is. i emailed them 2 or 3 times and they say yeah it is posted and i say can you post it on the review and they say yeah it is posted on the smart lipo mpx but i cant find that BOARD! i asked them to move it to this board but they just dont get it or they dont want it on this board. i am frustrated! any ideas? i've done this twice now and it is still just sitting in my profile where you click on my pic but i want it on this list so others can see it. thanks for any help.
