Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

1 Year Post-Op:
Don't do it! I will never regret anything in my life but if I could go back I wouldn't cheat and take the 'easy' way out. Diet and exercise are best. I would never recommend this surgery to anyone.
I was in a lot of pain and didn't fully heal for months. Even now, my lower abs are a bit uneven - not noticeable by others - and this is something that I would never have had to think about if I had just gone to the gym or played more sports. I was being lazy and now I have scars to remind me of my poor choice.
My pre-op weight was 150lbs (I'm 5'7"). That was the heaviest I've ever been. If I had just taken a second to look around and see what the real problems were (depression, anxiety, ex-bf)I could have just taken care of my body. After a year I'm 135lbs, but not due to the surgery... just good old diet and exercise.
Please don't have this surgery. Instead, use the money towards a personal trainer and a nutritionist - I promise the natural way is a much better answer.

November 9: Still very swollen in the pubic area and waist/flanks, My stomach is beginning to tighten but feels really weird to the touch because it is still numb. I nearly passed out after my shower this morning - I guess my body isn"t used to being out of the compression garment yet. I have to remember that I am only a week and a few days post-op.

Hello everyone! I decided I would share my SmartLipo experience after having done a lot of my research on the procedure on this website.
I had SmartLipo on my upper and lower abs and flanks/waist on Friday and today is Sunday - I am two days post-op. Before I go any further let me tell you that I have never had any surgery before so I am not sure which reactions my body is having are normal and which are not.
