I had smartlipo done exactly 3 months ago and I look exactly the same. The first few feeks I had it done, I could see a big difference and was really excited but now I look just how I did before the surgery. I am so confused and mad! It has been 3 months and I am pretty sure the swelling is gone. I feel like I just spent thousands of dollars on nothing.

Please give me any feedback on your procedure. Is this normal????

Great review?

Mkpmkp, Has anything improved? I had smartlipo done on my thighs, arms, and lower abdomen back in August 2009 and I still look the same; my lower abdomen actually looks worse, uneven and there is a big scar. My legs look absolutely no different. My doctor redid my lower abdomen in Nov. 2009 and still looks totally uneven and unnatural. Not happy at all. My doctor didn't even call me after my second procedure to see if things were better... He just finally called me this week when I left it a bad review... Have you complained to your doctor? You really should talk to them about fixing this for you.
Now that your swelling has presumably gone down, do things look any different (better)?
Well, they did say that post op is just AS important as the surgery, getting the massages and wearing the compression garment really tight, because your skin can heal the way before if its not getting shaped, i am told to wear my compression garment for three months!
did you gain any weight? would be helpful some pictures as well?
I know how you feel. I looked way better after 4 weeks than I do now at 3 1/2 months post op. I do have some improvement, I'll bet you do too - can you post before/after pics? What areas did you have done? I had my back and flanks done. Have you asked your PS about it?
go back to the Doctor, this is not right 6 grand and you look the same, NO NO NO do not except this!!! period... you paid for a procedure to get rid of the fat, get it done and do not pay another dime, tell us who did the procedure so we do not go to them....
I look exactly the same to, I see my primary care DR tomorrow for an ultra sound. I have a few large lumps that move around. My DR said he may send me for a surgery to fix it, and try to get it covered under my insurence
