8 Weeeks Post Smart Lipo, Doesn't Look Like my Body is Responding

Thanx for your response. He did not discuss options, but led me to believe smart lipo is the same results as a Tummy Tuck without the down time. He led me to believe that it will tighten the skin as it heals, but so far I don't see a difference. The receptionist showed me her before and after pictures that were suppose to have been done there, but her results in 3months is great improvement, I don't know if the difference is I am an African American 47 yrs. old, and she is a European 44 yrs. old, does the color of the skin react differently? Thanx for any response. I also have one side which is flatter than the other, the question is do I want to go throught the pain of recovering if they have to do a touch up, and the touch up will not get my abs the look I want.

WOW!!! Really, Thanx I hadn't heard that one. I live in my garment at night, and some sort ot pressure garment by day, usually a high brief garment. I almost get the look I want when i wear the garment, I don't want to do any to slow down progress, because i need all the help I can get.I look at myself in the mirror, and it deffinately looks like a tummy tuck would've been better. i did have a consult done before I chose smart lipo, but was told when I got my smart lipo i would get the same results without the same down time and cheaper. I see now an extra $1500.00 I could've had he tummy tuck done, and been happier. I will see what comes of this because I am not going to walk away with these results I am seeing thus far.

Yes, I did have suction, and drainage. Upper and lower abs are jiggly. If my body Morphs into something close to what I want, I will be surprised. I still continue to wear my pressure garment.

I am about 5 weeks post smart lipo. I also feel bigger and am bigger than I was. I was told at the consultation "if it jiggles" they can remove it. I still jiggle, but I do have hard spots under the jiggle. I am wondering if it doesn't work on everyone. I wear my garment faithfully. I did purchase a spanx high brief, because the garment they gave me have the mid thigh legs which doesn't look right with my pants. I know they say it takes some months to see improvement but this is going to be a magic act. I go back on the 20th, and I will see what they say. I can't even button the pants I could wear before surgery, I find this discouaging.
