Is there anyone here who has had to have an area re-done and can give details? How long did YOUR doc wait until THEY thought that no more results would be seen from the original procedure? Perfection, what exactly was bad about your first procedure that took so long to resolve? Did the area that you had done look the same as before the procedure for months? Also, my doc said that they would redo the lipo if I didn't get results. Did anyone's doc give them trouble about this? Make them pay twice? Thanks.

I am 4 weeks out now from an abdomen and love handle smart lipo procedure, and I still look the same as before the procedure. However, I was VERY swollen right after the procedure..... My abdomen was DOUBLE the size of what it was before the procedure for the first three weeks, and I freaked out. It deflated rapidly in week 4. The doc told me to drink 'plenty' of water to flush the system out, so I set a timer to drink 4-6 oz of water every hour. I STOPPED doing this during week 4, AND I started thoroughly and aggressively massaging the area daily with a Thumper body massager. So was it stopping the water? Starting massage? I don't know. But I do hope the area I had worked on goes away eventually, or I'll make my doc do it again. Also, perfection says she takes Arnica 'like candy'. "Arnica should not be taken internally due to its toxicity" is what it says all over the net. But topically, it is supposed to dilate capillaries which will hopefully take melted fat gunk with it. Cheers.

PSROMAN.... can I get some follow-up feedback on your SmartLipo from Dr. Bassin? I'd like to hear what the area looks like 10 mos. later.... Some have complained of loose skin or bumps, but those people may have had better results with some more heal time. Thanks.
