Shelly, The skin tightening effects of Smart -Lipo have many months to develop.  In fact, depending on your age, skin tightening can continue for up to six months and beyond. There may be some residual puffiness or edema to the area which should improve over time especially if mechanical suction was used with the procedure.  A low carbohydrate diet along with aerobic (low impact) excercise may be appropriate for you at this point as well.  Contact your surgeon if you have persistent swelling or any discomfort.

Those with sun damaged skin can see dramatic improvement with the variety of skin rejuvenation procedures available. Post menopausal women, many who now shun hormone replacement, can benefit from periodic peels and laser treatments to rejuvenate and plump skin that has lost its glow.

Daily moisturizers and periodic microdermabrasion restores the natural glow to dull skin. Combination creams that gently exfoliate and moisturize are a necessity to remove dull skin appearance. Microdermabrasion, sometimes combined with IPL or Genesis provide a “laser facial” with immediate positive effects on dull skin.
