Had My Smart Lipo 3/14/11 - West Nyack, NY

still very sore. tightness, numbness and dificulty lying in bed on lipod sites but holding on, only one month out. hopefully the 3-6 month recovery is way better.

Still not feeling 100%. areas burn and feel tight. Laying down on lipo sites hurt, driving still uncomfortable. i just cant wait to heal. I know that it takes about 3 months but my sites are tender to the touch still, lower abs muffin top and back. Good results but tummy still not flat. significantly down. eager to see results. Hope you ladies are doing much better. happy healing

hi there: ouch on the butt aug. i've read that takes alot of time to heal. ihope it gets better. I'm on week 3 and still sore inside. my bruising is gone but i'm still sore to the touch. my back and waist looks amazing and tummy has gone down significantly but some days its pouchy. my doctor told me its normal and ultimate results are 3-6 months. I had to take the compression garment off for two days because it got very uncomfortable burning and stuff. he said its the healing. i just want to feel 100% already. when i put on the garment which i've worn for 3 weeks 24 7 except to bathe and my tummy is still numb in areas. i don't have any lumping. I don't wear any tight clothing at all in fear of uneven healing. they say to massage those uneven areas as it could be pockets of collective fluid. try massage...i hope you feel better. keep me posted i hope your tushy heals quicker..just know the pain is worth it..;)

so sad for what you are going through. i too was going to have surgery at a laser center spa. The Dr.was not a board certified plastic surgeon but a vein specialist. after reading all the posts from actual plastic surgeons on this site, they say any doctor can perform smart lipo. Because of the price of the machine drs. have a vested interest in the procedure. That scared me and i went with a board certified fabulous plastic surgeon. So sorry to hear about this horror and i hope your recovery gets better. :(

i had two different lipo procedures, upper lower abs back, waist flanks. Smart lipo was also used although i had general anesthesia, iknow everyone is different but the concept of returning to work or activities quickly no way. I was totally crazy. i was out a whole week day 2 was painful. i feel your pain i'm in week 3 of recovery and still achy very sore inside. i guess its just a healing process. good luck and it will get better.
