Like you Im a petite girl. I had this done In Sept '06 to get rid of upper ab fat and that around the belly fat that is tough to get rid of after pregnancy. The upper abs looks nice and flattened and natural. The lower abs is less but I still have that 'donut' of fat around my belly button.
I think what helped me with the smoothness was the 3 velashape treatments that I had to the areas starting a month after the smart lipo. I was told to wait and see if the 'belly donut' would dissipate on its own. Its was still noticeable 9 months later and my doctor is using mesotherapy to try and get rid of it. I only had one mesotherapy as of now but it doesnt look dramatically different. - these extra treatments are of no extra charge. (Im 10 months post op, I was told I would have the results I wanted in 3 months, especially since I do work out and have tight stomach muscles underneath that stubborn donut!)
I agree with the previous commenter that skinnier people probably dont have the best results even though that is who this procedure is geared towards to get rid of the stubborn little pockets of fat. I think we are all trying to look good in our birthday suits not just in our jeans!
Botched Beauty, your doctor should have erred on the side of caution and taken out less as it would be much easier to correct. I hope you win your case and that you update us with any revisions you get.
