So, having SmartLipo 2 weeks from today. Having upper/lower abdomen, flanks and arms. Dr. has already told me I may have to come back for arms. I am not a small girl and do not expect to be after the procedures either. I just hope to have some shape back. I am very excited and very nervous. Mostly nervous about the healing process, from what I have heard and read it is not the 'quck turnaround' recovery that the SmartLipo websites try to tout. I have also read a lot that it
I was really worried that I wouldn't be a good candidate, because I honestly thought I was too heavy to have it done.

Fraxel Lazer Damage - Carmel, IN
I have experienced damage caused by Fraxel. It took about 3 months after the proceedure to see my skin start to deteriorate. It will be 2 years in Oct. 2014. My skin has aged rapidly, and I have large pores that have blackheads on my face and neck where I got the treatment and lines on my neck and wrinkles on my face that should not be there at my age. I looked good before I did this now I look years older! I've looked on this site since Jan. 2013 to read other stories.
