    Hi~! Two months later update- Im really happy, but I think if I do more I would go with the reg lipo- the smart lipo definitely made a noticeable difference but not as profound as the reg. My opinion is go for a combo of both reg and smart lipo if your dr. suggests it. I was swollen for at least a month, I didnt even realize it, but you can expect the swelling takes a while to go away. I hope I can say my drs name? {edited - the doctor's name appears above the treatment review in the provider field} I think that he is brilliant because he didnt take too much fat out- while Im not as thin as I wanted to be, I understood after going through the prodcedure that I would have had saggy ugly skin if my dr had taken out as much as I wanted- and then I would have had to had a lift- not good! My dr carefully explained why he doesnt want to take too much out-and Im happy with the results. The key is excercising as well as getting lipo to get that nice streamlined shape, just lipo wont do that so I want to make that clear to all. If you get some fat removed via regular lipo, get the smart over the area as well to tone, and afterwards tone, its possible you wont have to worry about sagging. I havent had as much time to excercise as I would like to, but I can say the new shape of my legs is going to look really nice once I put in the effort, without the unwanted saggy skin. They look more defined and curvy, nice! Just another hint- lipo does absolutely nothing for cellulite, you probably all know this but I can confirm it and Im going to get velasmooth or velashape ( I forget the name) eventually. This procedure was very,very easy for me compared to a really painful breast aug I had months previously. Everyone has to be smart and make good decisions about risks becuase lipo does have complications at times, but I simply had a very good experience. I really think smart lipo is best for very small areas of fat, like lets say you had a nice tummy but you want the six pack look. It can help define, but as for massive fat, no way, it just cant do enough to help. Hope this helps good luck to all!
