  • Posted to 42 Year Old Male Lower Ab Smartlipo on 23 Sep 2011

    I have to say that in all honesty..I think smart lipo is marketed as a fast recovery..but in reality, it took me a whole year post surgery to see the final outcome....which I'm very happy with! the little bit of edema I had is completely gone now..and I can see my abs for the first time since I was 18! There have been lots of ups and downs after the surgery that I didn't think would happen, so for others out there have a "down"..it did get better for me and I'm so glad I did it...I just didn't think it would take a full year get where I wanted it to be.

    I went with Dr, Marge Butler...her office is at Banner Desert Medical Center...She is a board cert. plastic surgeon and also specializes in lap band. I also had a consult with another dr. who wanted to do upper/lower, planks and back on me..which I only wanted my lower done...I didn't go with hime for that reason

    Well, It's like this.....I was told before the surgery to wear the compression garment for like 2 weeks...then "you can just wear spanx"....so I don't know now in hindsight if that meant for the rest of my life or for a period of time.

    That being said, one of the possible side effects or risks is permanent edema....Granted what I do get without wearing spanx for a few days is not alot of edema..it still makes me alittle self consience.

    I had my Smart lipo done in july of 2010. I still continue today to wear spanks on a daily basis, as when I stop for awhile I develope a small amount of edema in the very lower ab area. I did wear my compression garmet for 3 months post op as a precaution...the dr. did not say I had too. Yet I still get this little edema if I go days without the spanks. Overall I'm still very pleased with the outcome. Hope you are as well.
