Ab problem

Upper/lower Abs and Love Handles, Not Sure Yet About Results

If u were asking me, my experience with smartlipo was not good and it's a huge regret! I have since had a tummy tuck and lipo to correct the damage Dr. Subramani did. Hope you are doing well.

Wow, I feel terrible for you. You looked amazing before in my opinion. I definitely think you should follow up with this doctor or another one. I am also displeased with my Smart Lipo. At first I was upset, then thought my results were better, now I'm back to being throroughly disappointed. Hope it gets better for you.

Hello there. Well, I took my own before and after pics. I must say at this point I'm a little discouraged that I did this. I went to see him last July and told him I was contemplating a tummy tuck and he talked me out of that and said he could "flatten" my tummy. Well, there is improvement over what it was, but I am far from flat and wish I would have gone with the tummy tuck to be honest and still may. I wish I would have waited and went another route. I had my procedure on 11/14/09 and as of this morning, I still have major knots and roping across my upper stomach. It's visible enough that I can see it under my clothes. I saw Dr. Subramani recently, a couple weeks ago, and he was supposed to take my after pics and didn't. I'm guessing because he and I consulted about the knots and ropes and I don't think even he cared for the results. At this point, I'm frustrated. He says I still need to give it more time, but I've seen my girlfriend's results from hers that was done in St. Louis and it's day and night difference. I am massaging every night and using a heating pad. It's not getting any better. He said I need to give more time, but I feel that 4 months later this should not be the case. I hope this helps. Contact me any time.

I am doing fine. I have a lot of roping/knotting in my upper and lower ab areas. I saw my doctor last Friday. He said I probably should have been taking more Lasix. They only gave me 5 days worth and apparently were supposed to give me 30 days?? I wasn't real happy about that, but oh well. I have it now and I'm taking it everyday for 5 days and as needed afterwards. The results are fabulous in the mornings, but I swell some during the day. He said this is all part of it and eventually the swelling will go away. Thanks for asking. I need to post my pictures. I promise I will soon. I've just been crazy busy.

I had upper/lower abs and love handles done on 11/14/09 and even though I am only a little over 2 weeks post op, I noticed this past week that I was pretty flat in the mornings but was really swelling up in the daytime. I phoned my doctor and they called in 5 days worth of Lasix and it really worked. I had to pee 11 times the first two hours after I took it, but I noticed a huge decrease in swelling. I am now done with the Lasix as of yesterday and today I didn't notice much extra swelling, but I know my doctor also said that swelling can continue for a while. My doctor said I should expect final results in 3 months however. He takes final pics at the 3 month point, but it seems a lot of doctors have different guidelines they follow. I hope you are feeling better about the swelling. I'm very impatient, so this is going to be a trying ordeal for me I'm sure. lol.
