“It was well worth it!”
Smart Lipo: Worth it
Pain: Painfree
I had traditional liposuction about 2 years ago and had my chin, arms, abdomen, inner thighs, back and butt done. I was in extreme pain for days not to mention nasuea and severe bruising.
I decided to go in again for liposuction but this time tried smart lipo. I just had my arms, butt, upper and lower back, abdomen and inner thighs done just yesterday, and besides being a little sore, I am up walking around!
I couldnt be happier.. smart lipo is truely a less invasive procedure and well worth it. I just cant wait to see the results!
One thing though, I have a few blisters on my inner thighs from the laser because the skin is so thin there. Other than that I coldnt be happier. When they say you can go back to work the next day, I am living proof!

I just went in for my first consult with Dr. G, on Fri. How long do you think it will be before you upload pics? I am looking at a total body tighting!!! Breast aug., smartlipo on lower &upper abs, flanks, inner thighs. I just cant get my body tight. I would love to see your pics, before I decide how much to get done.

I have a follow up appt this Thurs, where they may take pics, they didnt take them om my last visit probably because it was so soon. Ill ask him.... Dr and his staff are so wonderful and kind and made me feel so comfortable. I told them that I will definately be a repeat offender. Ya know, I have the same problem as you. I am 31 and just feel that my body isnt as tight as it used to be. Although I expected to see immediate results from the smart lipo as far as skin "tighenting" as it states it does, I really have yet to see it (keep in mind I am about 11 days out)However, a picture tells a thousand words, so I will really be able to tell how effective the tighenting truley was when I see the pics.

How bad were the blisters on the inner thighs? Did you take pictures of them when you got home?

Very bad, matter of fact they are still healing. And I have a huge lump under my skin which Im assuming will go down over time, but will ask him when I go there on Thursday

Think twice, this Dr. is not board certified in plastic surgery. He has also told someone that I know when asked if he could be a smart lipo expert that he lacks the experience.. Stay away from Dr. {see note} as well. My own poor results did not really appear for several weeks out when the tightening started. Blisters are a bad sign.

Went to my appt today and it went great! He is making sure healing is going as scheduled.. which I am right on course! I couldnt be happier. Its only been 2 weeks, but it feels like I never even had any work done! I will say it again, if you are in the market for liposuction, you must do smart lipo!!!!

Have you posted your pictures yet. I go Fri. for my pre. op. I'm still not sure how much work I want to have done. The inner thigh is the one that scares me the most. I have seen pictures from inexperienced Docs and it looks horible. I really wish you could post some of how bad the blisters got.

Dont worry. Although blisters are a side effect of using a laser, they are going down and away! Dont be scared.. Dr G is wonderful. If you want you can call me... email me at {edited} and I will give you my number. -- Editor note: This user can be contacted privately by clicking on their username.
