Worth It
Spent: $3,214 in Winter Park, FL

I had smart lipo on my saddlebags last friday. The office I went to was great! The procedure went well. I have done pretty good so far, I have had some bruising not too much drainage. I am of course still sore, which I know is normal.

So far I see a little result but I know I am still swollen. I know I have to give it time but I can't wait to see it progress. I have had this problems with my thighs all my life, even at my lowest weight. I know it will be worth the wait.

I would highly recommend this office to anyone, they treated me very well they even sent me a fruit basket the next day. That was very nice!

Smart Lipo 2nd time better results. I had a touch up on my thighs after 6 months. I saw mild results the 1st time and went in for a touch up on May 24. I must say I was a little more sore this time but definately worth it. The Dr. was a little more aggressive this time and now the saddlebag area looks better. I know it will take time to see the final results, but I am already seeing a dffierence. I can't wait to see the progress over the next few months!  I definately recommend if the Dr suggets it for a touch up then go for it!

I had smart lipo redone on my outer thighs 6 months later. I was not happy with my results and the Dr said he did not want to be to aggressive. He was nice enough to redo my area over. I did se a little difference but not quite what I wanted. Well this time it is much better!! It's been a month and my saddlebags are all but gone!! I would definately recommend my Dr. I understand why he did not want to be to aggressive and I love the results I have now. I hope it continues over the next few months!

Hi Shelly. Like you were, I am 6 days post treatment on outerthighs and feel I still look the same. Did you get the result you had hoped for? If so, when did you start noticing a difference? Thanks for your time.
