1 year and 9 months ago I had SmartLipo, inside / outside thigh, upper / lower abdomen and waist. My thighs still feel bruised with any little bit of pressure on them, my upper abdomen is tingly, uncomfortable tingly a sleeping feeling, my waist is hard and bulging, by touching the right spot there is an electric jolt from my side to my belly button.
