OPTIMUM61

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.
