I'm looking to get smart lipo in my abdomen, waist and upper hips. I went to see a surgeon who said he doesn't think he'd get more than 1L of fat from these areas and he isn't sure if I'd get that hour glass shape. Can you tell me if it's possible to achieve with my body type. My measurements are W-31, hips-42 and bust is 34. Thanks

There is no interference from laser liposuction with a pacemaker. You should be able to undergo the procedure and not worry about your pacemaker. Anyway just inform your surgeon that you have the pacemaker and he should re-assure you it is OK.
The hard areas are very normal. The "sad" face is as well. After the fat was removed, there is still some left, as well as fluid, that hardens as scar forms. This is normal. The skin also contracts and wrinkles, so much of this is more pronounced in the first 2-6 weeks.

As an adult at 18, it is your choice if you want to get Liposuction. Based on your photos, I think you would get excellent results an are an ideal candidate.
But I also agree with Dr. Pelosi. It sounds like you are already doing the right things, but maybe not in the right manner....
