Looks amazing! I need to have this done, too. I had upper bleph a week ago, still waiting to see the final result of that. Once I'm healed, I may go this route to finish the job.

Hey! I'm so sorry for the massive delay, it has been a couple years since I logged on. I hope you are doing better now! I resumed my gym activities after about four months. I can bench press now (summer 2011) no problem BUT will have to go through this all over again when I get my gels.

OK definitely break it up. I had several sites done at once, wasn't the best thing to do. And yes, fat will redeposit in other areas down the road. For example, I always had skinny (well, muscular really) arms but after smartlipo I have "normal" arms (with a little cushion). It does cost more but I think it is a wiser move to break this up into two sessions. Good luck!! ~Melissa

That is totally normal apparently. The swelling takes weeks, and I mean WEEKS,to subside. Everything will work out. My husband, a surgeon, comments regularly about how well the procedure went and now even HE is thinking about laser procedures for himself! (but to correct bags under his eyes, not for body work) Hang in there, it gets tons better believe me! All told, they apparently removed about 5 pounds of fat which made my shape a LOT better.

Hey, I still don't have reduced swelling. I look almost like I did pre-op. This has been disappointing, but I guess it was to be expected. I have been told the swelling will persist for up to 6 weeks, and I've been told I won't see the final result for at least a few months (just takes that long for the entire process to be completed). Hang in there! I know I am!
