Weight gain after Smart Lipo. Is there any way I can go back to how I was 3 weeks ago?

Question

Hello! I got Smart Lipo 1/24/19 and my recovery was great for the first month and a half. I felt so confident... Then I started unhealthy habits like drinking every week for a little over a month due to personal stuff I was going through and it’s catching up to me. My stomach isn’t as flat anymore and my curvy waist is going away. I can see the difference and I’m wondering is there anyway I can go back to how I was like 3 weeks ago? Is it too late to get back to that look?

The answer is yes, the only variable was the unhealthy eating that caused you to lose your shape.  Luckily you are early in the process and with a strong commitment to lifestyle changes and exercise you can get back the shape!Good Luck!

thank you for your question 
If you have small problem areas you can use non invasive methods like coolsculpting with vanquish to get small areas of fat reduced. Skin also tightens if you combine this with exilis ultra or venus legacy radiofrequency treatments. You boost the results from coolsculpting if you add in radiofrequency. We also combine coolsculpting with radiofrequency and shock therapy like Z wave and cellutone to get even faster results, more improvement, and less risk of combinations like nodules, swelling, neuropathy or paradoxical hyperplasia. Coolsculpting often takes a f ew treatments separated 8-12 weeks apart to get significant improvement. Best, Dr. Emer.
