Smart Lipo - New Jersey

I am at week four now and I wont even bother posting a pic because I see no further change. I am still fairly sore, still wearing the compression garment half the time now and still have mutliple seroma areas. The skin itches and it is still uncomfortable to wear clothes, bend over to tie my shoes or even sleep. I am still massaging daily. The roll on the lower gut is still there also. My clothes dont fit much differntly than before. how much time do I have to give this? I am soooooo disappointed I can't begin to describe it. I go back to the doctor this week. I am sure he is going to say, give it more time, but I am thoroughly disappointed.

Thank you for the advice. I didn't know Arnica Montana came in cream form but I will try it. I am posting new pics. not much of a difference. Still sore, especially at my waistline where the compression garment seems to gather. I assume the numbness will fade eventually and teh appearance will imrove as well. I am not happy but at least there is some imporvemnet and I hope more will develop.

I am not happy with my results, or rather the lack of results is more accurate. There is little difference and it has been 3 weeks. i am still sore and have a numb feeling over much of my skin. I have been on my motorcycle a lot lately including an all day event today and I am hurting from it now. I am still massaging and using the compression garment but the chnage is minimal. I will post new pics in a couple of days. Just too busy with the holiday weekend and so many places to be. I hope you're right and I that I end up being happy because so far,,,i'm not.

Hey farz,
Loose skin should just hang, which I had anticipated. My stomach is hard and rounded off. I can't even grasp that much skin. Aside from that, shouldn't I be flatter even if the skin hung on top of it? i shoudl be able to fit into my pants even if I had loose skin? I just got dressed to leave for a weekend trip and I can't breath in my clothes with the garment under them. They are tighter now than a week ago. I guess I can't wear sweatpants to meet people for dinner huh? I wish. My wieght is also exactly the same also. I am still hoping this will flatten out. I could not find any pics of anyone with reuslts like mine and some were bigger at the start.

I have always had a tendency to retain water, I cross my legs and always leave an indent in my skin. I am going to try to use moist heat on my stomach and hope that it will help bring any swelling or water retention down. I am just really disgusted at this point. With my compression garment on my jeans only button slightly easier than before all this pain and money. My husband tells me to give it a little time. Friends tell me they can't understand why I did it since they don't see any difference, except that I now can't sit, walk or move wihtout discomfort. Many reviews I read say that redoing an area is not necessarily a wise move. I may have to read more on that if this doesn't improve over the next few weeks. I look at Beavercreeks before and after compared to mine and I get depressed. We started out looking very similar but our after pictures are a world apart. She looks great.
