“Waiting for the wow!!!!!!! results”
Smart Lipo: Worth it
Pain: Uncomfortable
HI! Well I had the procedure done on 10/01/08 treatment area was both arms, flanks, abdomen.
I am 3 weeks post-op now and I am starting to see a difference in my abdomen and flank area. My arms look exactly the same which is a little dissapointing. For anyone doing arms, this is the thing. I, for example have fat accumulated directly under the top of the arm this procedure involves removing more from the back side of the arm and lower arm not the top part. I guess it probably has something to do with the lymphatic tissue that is very delicate and located at the top near the breast, that's why I think that area is not touched.
Guys, don't be fooled they advertise it as little down time but be ready to at least take a week off work. The pain, especially in the abdominal area is pretty substancial. I BRUISE EASILY AND LOOKED LIKE A TRAIN RAN OVER ME.
If your circulation is not good, do start taking Arnica tabs at least 2 weeks before procedure. I will start lymphatic massage next week.
Do wear your compression garment, one that is really good, I purchased one made in Colombia (remember colombian women are really into surgery , they know their stuff.)
MY procedure was done in FT. Lauderdale,FL. it was a good experience, local anesthesia not bad.

Well, I am now one month and a half into post op and let me tell you that my arms look the same as they did before. he only reason I know they worked on them is because of the soreness, really dissapointing. I have noticed weight loss 10 pounds in a month, but I have been really watching what ai eat, no exercise yet, maybe it will help. I see fat still accumulated in my stomach area, not the result I expected.

I went to strax rejuvenation in ft lauderdale , fl.I agree with the rest of the people who say that they hype up the procedure giving you kinda unrealistic expectations, for me after having payed $3400 i exected perfection and it's not the case.

Remember that Plastic Surgery of any kind is only as good as what the Surgeon has to work with! Do not wait for the "wow" from plastic surgery, and then blame it on the Doctor or procedure when it didn't happen, the "wow" wasn't there to begin with!
