Is it normal to be depressed about my smartlipo? I'm 5 days post op and I wake up in the middle of the night crying about my results, which aren't bad, I am just only 19 and I feel like I screwed up my body for good.. I was skinny before lipo. I was just greedy. Now I am 10 pounds heavier I don't want to leave the house and I'm constantly stressed about living the rest of my life with lipo. I read all of these horrible blogs saying lipo ruined their health and other horrible things so I'm scared
Answer: Depressed About Liposuction Results from liposuction are not evident for months, and you will be swollen for weeks. With that said however, you should be in compression, doing lymphatic massage and hyperbaric oxygen and venus legacy skin tightening treatments at this time. I suggest a formal consultation with an expert or your physician if you are concerned. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Lipo has no effect on your health, go see a shrink Seriously. If you are depressed, you need to talk to a mental health professional asap before you do anything foolish or dangerous. It's not uncommon to second-guess decisions that you make in life, but you need to talk it out with an expert when you're young and confused. Lipo does not have any negative effects on your health and the internet is rife with nonsense giving you a distorted view of reality.

Answer: You need to relax it is normal to retain water after Smartlipo which may make you heavier. don't take your weight very seriously for about 3 weeks. If you are seriously depressed then you should see a therapist. Smartlipo will not mess up your body and you need to stop surfing the net. any idiot can post their ideas on the net and you don't have the knowledge to decide what is garbage and what is legitimate. You will probably bet a very nice result but you need to remember it can take 2 months to see any difference and you will continue to improve for 6 months. Your reaction is all of this is quite extreme but I am sure with a short course of therapy, you can get a much more balanced and calm approach to all of this.

Answer: Depressed about SmartLipo SmartLipo should not be considered part of a weight loss program. If you are 10 pounds heavier, then you are gaining weight just like the other 65% of Americans who are gaining excess weight. Instead of being depressed, do something about your weight. Most of my patients feel so much better about themselves when they lose their weight, and they look better too.Losing weight is not easy for most people who are

Answer: It is not normal to be depressed about your smartlipo! In my experience, being depressed, especially 5 days after SmartLipo is not normal. I would advise you to get counseling or seek a mental health professional to help you get this under control. I operated on three nieces over thirty years ago and their problem fat is still gone. By removing fat that is out of proportion with your normal body, you can actually be doing a good thing for your body. I have had my personal RN employee who was an insulin dependent diabetic, become non-insulin dependent. I have seen many patients with their cholesterol lowered through lipo. Once you are 6-8 weeks down the road you should feel better about your procedure, but don't delay about getting immediate help for your depression and establishing a support system for getting you through this difficult period.Dr. Seare
