Yes, some posters have posted pics. Go to the main page of Smart Lipo, where it says the 81% says Smart Lipo was worth it. Should be on the right hand side of the page. Then scroll down and go on to the next pages until you see little picture icons next to each post. Those are the ones that have pictures. Hope this helps.
There are plenty of good result posters. Just read all the ones that say it was worth it. I had it done at the end of August on my upper and lower abs and I am pleased with my results. It does take some time for things to get back to looking normal but overall, my experince was a good one. My clothes look awesome and I can't wait till next summer to put on my bikini. Another friend of mine here in the Houston area had it done too by a different doctor and she is pleased with her results too.
I feel bad for the people that are having a bad experiences.
I have done no massaging. I'm not sure I would be able to at this point. I know that at some point I am suppose to so I guess they'll tell me tomorrow. I'm feeling right now and don't really notice any lumpiness but i know what you are talking about. I had it with the Lipodissolve. They did eventually all go away.
I think it's very unrealistic to say that you can go back to work the next day. Hell, the meds haven't even worn off by then from the procedure..at least they hadn't for me. Maybe I'm just a lush :-D
Having anything done to the chin seems like it would really hurt. Let me know how it goes. I'm sure just like with all the other parts of us though, it will just take time for the swelling to go down.
Stay positive!!
Hi CE, not sure if you have had this done or not but I had SmartLipo done this past Thursday by {edited} and I HIGHLY recommend him. He and his staff were awesome and my procedure was painfree. The shots in the beginning were the only slight pain I had. I had my upper and lower abs and flanks done. They have offices all over town but the procedure is done at their Bellaire office. Feel free to contact me with any questions you might have.
Good Luck,

Amazingly enough, I have had no bruising. I am pretty tender though, especially on my sides. My garment is killing me there. Seems like they would put the zippers in the back somehow for people who have their flanks done. Today is my first day at work so everytime I get up out of my chair, it's a little painful where the creases are in the garment. I am happy with my results even with the swelling. I'm excited to see what I look like without the swelling. Overall, my experience has been a good one. The procedure itself was a piece of cake. I was expecting so much worse. I go tomorrow for my one week follow up.
After reading lots of posts here, it seems strange to me how different everyones experience was. Some say they go to lunch afterwards, carry on conversations during procedure...I was knocked completely out and didn't wake up till about 8pm that night. I don't remember leaving the office, the ride home or any conversations after they got started.
I noticed that you had your chin done. How was that? Were you awake? Is there bruising there? How is the swelling?
I have been chatting with AV that also used the same doctor you did. It has been great having someone to talk to that went through it too. I'm sure she'd be happy to chat with you too. You can find her listed as one of my comments or in the list of Worth its.
Just a little about me:
41 yrs old
130lbs
Had upper & lower abs done and flanks.
1 child - 3 1/2 years
Look forward to hearing about your progress.
