I am recovering currently (Day 2) and am pain free, and can already see major improvements. The areas that I had done where under my arms, and my mid-section (abdominals). I am a male in my 30's and after a year and half of taking a medication prescribed for a chronic illness, I realized that there was a growing amount of fat appearing under my arms. After ruling out cancer, and ultimately stopping that specific medication - - I was left with a noticeable amount of fat running from my underarm crease and down at least 7 inches. I consulted with my physician, and came to the conclusion that we felt that I would get the results I desired with smart-lipo w/suction. We discussed the areas, my expectations, down-time, etc. and I could not be happier with my decision to have this done. I was assured by Lisa, that the areas would most likely be corrected with one procedure, but that if a "touch up" was needed, we could re-visit this after a couple months of healing was under my belt. The procedure was intense and at times uncomfortable. I took a clonezepam (as I have a anxiety disorder), and before the procedure two extra strength tylenols. Pain did not come into the experience. Slleping night one was almost impossible, because I felt as if I was in a car accident, or someone beat me up - and they won! Today is day 2, and I have gone for a mild walk, made low-fat chili for dinner, and am practically discomfort free. I am wearing a compression garment for the next 4 weeks (better safe than sorry is my thought), although swelling is already dissapating. I am bruised, and it is really nasty to look at. But only in a few spots, and I am not sweating that in the least. Final thoughts: If you can handle a moderate amount of discomfort, you can handle SmartLipo. Even with my under garment, and it only being day 2 of my healing process, the area is at least 60%. Guys... This is great for fat in the pec area. I already feel more confident and am psyched for the next few months to pass, so I can see the final results! SmartLipo!

I took Photos of the areas I wanted to have worked on before, and as soon I am able I will get some of the after. May take a few days to get on the computer and match them up, but look for them soon. Even with the bruising and some swelling, I think you can see a big difference! I am most excited about the area under my arms, and hope they will continue to get firmer and smaller with the coming months.
