I want everyone out there who is considering smartlipo to please think twice. I have had some MAJOR complications. I had the first procedure done last Sept. I went back 6 months later, and showed him this huge lump in my inner thigh. My stomach looked awful so he re-did it. One week after the second surgery (March), I found a huge huge lump from my upper abdomen to my belly button, and the swelling is unbelievable. It is still so sore I can't run, exercise,and my kids know they can't touch my stomach. I went back to the doctor and he said it was injured fat, and he sent me on my way. I called another plastic surgeon and they never heard of the term. I had to go to another doctor and have an ultrasound done. Then last week I had to go have a CT scan to find out what has happened. At this point, they are not sure about the lump, but say the swelling is fluid. I am suppose to go back in 2 weeks and have it drained. I have decided to request a MRI to find out what this lump is and why it is still so sore. I have not been able to wear anything without an elastic waist. I can't stand for anything to touch me. Oh! All these tests have been scheduled by another doctor not the one who did the surgery. So please please think twice. Not to mention it hurts like hell!! Has anyone else had any trouble like this?
