I had my surgery in the begging of may this year it is December now and I feel like I see no results. My tanks are still present and my abdomen is just as big as before and still loose. I am very upset and am wondering if I should try again with a different doctor.
Answer: How long before I see results Hi! It can take up to six months to see the final result. If you have gained weight since your procedure the results will be alterted and you will still have fullness in the area. I would suggest you talk to your surgeon about your concerns. Best of luck to you!

Answer: Smart Lipo results Smart Lipo results should be evident almost immediately, although you can expect some swelling. You should continue to see improvements out to 6 months or even a year, so you do need to be patient to see your final result. In your question, however you mentioned that your abdominal area is "loose." Without photos it's impossible to say for certain, but my concern is that you may have not been an appropriate candidate for Smart Lipo in the first place. If you had skin and muscle laxity as in post-pregnancy or post-weight loss changes, you may have been a better candidate for a tummy tuck instead. I find that patient selection is key in order to achieve good results. If the procedure was the wrong procedure to address your problems, then you are not likely to get good results. That is why I feel it's important to consult with a surgeon who does both Smart lipo as well as tummy tucks so that you will get an honest opinion about the right procedure for you. Please follow up with your surgeon to address this concern.

Answer: Smart Lipo Results Take Time -- Add Venus Legacy/Vanquish/Exilis Treatments It may take from weeks to months to achieve optimal visual appearance from SmartLipo. There are many surgical and non-surgical treatments for fat reduction or skin tightening such as vanquish, exilis, venous legacy, z wave/cellutone. You should be getting massages to help as well.

Answer: So your smart lipo results are nothing? If you've gained weight, lose it. If not, post a few photos or email them to me privately. Sometimes you need more lipo, other times you need other procedures (tummy tuck, etc), but photos are necessary. Your results are not going to change this long after lipo.

Answer: NO RESULT AFTER SMART LIPO Smart liposuction is often used for smaller amounts of liposuction, particularly if done under local anesthesia. You should have seen some results within 2-4 weeks with final results almost complete at 3 months. What you see now is what you get. Make sure you take into account any weight gain, if any. If your procedure was done under local anesthesia, the results will be necessarily limited.
