I had laser lipo done on Monday, September 22, 2008.I am 5', 118. I have had a muffin top or roll every since I was young. After two kids, I wanted a flat stomch. One day later, my results are wonderful. I had my abdomen and flanks done. My banana roll is finally gone.

Today, I am somewhat sore and bruised. However, it is tolerable. I have been nauseous due to the Adavan. The most uncomfortable part has been wearing the compression garment. I stopped draining after about 12 hours.

This review is the subjective opinion of a RealSelf member and not of RealSelf, Inc.

Helpful review?

My Doctor:

My doctor prepared me for every step. He was very informative. He talked to me through the entire procedure. I plan to update and to post pictures very soon. I would recommend this to anyone with unwanted fat in areas they can't seem to change through excerise.

Can u please give me the name of your Dr. I live in the Jackson, MS area and would like to have the procedure done on my waist area?

My procedure was done at {edited} in Biloxi. They have a website that has all the contact info on it. I am exactly 7 days out today6. I am a little swollen but I will have the six stitches taken out tomorrow. I am not quite ready to post the pics yet. Give me about one more week. So far, I am very happy. The staff at this office is very professional. It would be worth the drive for you to get a consultation. I am not over weight. I just have had a roll on my stomach for ever! The worst part has been wearing the compression garment and sleeping! Good Luck.

I am happy to hear your experience was great. I also did my upper and lower abs to start. I am a mother of 2 in my 30's. I had the procedure done Sept 27, 2008 and I feel great. I took my antibotics the night before the surgery and morning of surgery. I had eaten all week pinapples which my doctor recommened to help reduce swelling. I was given a volume before the surgery. The only pain I felt was the injection to numb the areas after that it was smooth sailing. I actually chatted with my doctor during surgery. He was great.I walked right out of my doctors office to the waiting room where my husband was and he just looked at me and asked if I did it. It took 90 minutes. The only discomfort now is the garment. It kind of digs into my back. Oh also I didnt have any draining whats so ever. Other then that I am happy with the result. I will be going back to remove my 5 stitches have a few more sections done like my arms and chin. I hope this helps others who are planing to go throgh this procedure. It is amazing you feel nothing.

Good for you! I had my stitches out Tuesday. I went to excersise class on Wednesday with no problem. I wish I would have known about pineapples! I am about a pound or two less than before. (I now weigh 117. (I am only 5 ft.) Anyway, I go back for two accent treatments. It was nice to take a bath! Thanks for letting me know how well you have done.

I was looking into the place where you had the procedure but I can't seem to find if the doctor is board certified. Did you see proof of this while you were there?

I go to this Laser Center too. I haven't got the Smartlipo, but done everything else. I need it in my stomach and will get some info when I go back. I love that place.

My wife is considering having this done for what she calls a pot belly. I have read alot of the comments and must say that I am against her having this done. It appears that lamost everyone has some type of lumps or uneven spots even after months of recovery. We live in the New Orleans area. Do you have some pics you could share with us? Can you give us the name of the clinic to provided you procedure? I am very concerned with bad results and wonder if she should just have a tummy tuck or nothing at all?
WD 18 Aug 2009
I do not have pics to show. However, I can tell you so far so good and it's been almost a year. IT is NOT a weight loss procedure. It's also not a procedure for excess skin. If she has a lot of excess and wants to shed more than 4-5 pounds, then she should check into a tummy tuck. I did not want a scar at all. So, this was the best for me. I love it. I have done lots of sit-ups since the procedure. good luck
