I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOUR PICS. I DID THIS PROCEDURE A WEEK AGO. I HAVE NO BRUISE AND ANY PAIN. I AM EXCITED TO SEE HOW LONG IT TAKES TO BE DONE IN THE FINAL RESULTS. THANKS!
September 27, 2009
How long was it between the before and after pictures taken?
September 27, 2009
And did you have your arms done too? Your arms look really great!
September 28, 2009
I really don't see that much of a difference, except the arms which look really great!. Do you have before/after pictures of your love handles and the back of your legs?

I am going to tell you my WHOLE story , its going...

I am going to tell you my WHOLE story , its going to be long! But when researching to do this I wanted to hear every detail so I hope you do too.

I am a pretty skinny girl. I had a baby one year ago and during my pregnancy I gained 90 lbs! I went from a size 00 (90 lbs)to a size 12(190lbs) in 9 months!! I am 5'7". I have worked out pretty much every day since giving birth. I now weigh around 120, and I am very toned, I think I am in the best physical shape of my life but I still cant seem to get rid of just a few stubborn spots. Mainly loose skin though. I have horrible stretch marks from the pregnancy !

OKay so I needed a little "help" on these problem areas. I went to the consultation and the Pre-op and all that. Now surgery day : I went into the doctor's office at 10 am to recieve smartlipo on my lovehandles, arms, and inner thighs. Because my doctor is one of the best in smartlipo in the world he has doctors from all over the U.S. come to watch and study him from time to time. Just my lucky day , he asks if a colleague of his that wants to study msartlipo can watch. Of course I say yes. I got undressed and wore the skimpy little bra and string underwear they provide you and he began to draw on the areas I was getting done. Then he said well ya know I think you would really benefit from this on ur outer thighs and banana roll (right under ur butt) as well.SO he marked me up there and offered to do those areas for no additional cost! HECK YAAAAAA! ( he said it was bc I was so kind to let the other doctor watch) Also after squeezing and pinching all my fat he thought that doing body jet lipo would be more effective on every area except my inner thighs.

SO I took 3 valium and let those kick in then the surgery began! FIrst a nurse wiped me down with some really cold gel-type substance all over the areas I was getting done. I was a little loopy from the medicine so I don't remember too much. There were some very sharp uncomrtable tugs and pulls at times and some stabbing feelings... but It honestly was nothing unbearable. I never shed a tear and the doctor and nurses were so amazing of taking care of my evey need! The procedure seemed to fly by ! After they were all done the hardest part( i think) was gettin into the compression garment. You have to place the drainage pads over your incisions and get the garment pulled up and on at the same time... it took 3 people lol. Dr. Caruth personally walked me to the car ! He was soooo wonderful throughout all of it! My boyfriend was there through it all : ). He drove me home and stopped at got me some mashed potatoes from KFC. (wasnt hungry at all , but you do really need some food in your belly for the medications). I got home , wasn't really in pain , but I was pretty sleepy. I took a LOOOONNNG nap and when I woke up I noticed that there was a lot of drainage , so we changed all my pads. I used nursing pads actually. I had them left over from when I breastfed, they work like a charm. They are the perfect round size, super absorbent , and not uncomfortable to lay on. You can also use maxi pads. Travis( my boyfriend) helped me changes em out ... which i definitely have someone there to help take care of you , it would have been really hard to do all this on my own. I took and ambien and another hydrocodine and slept like a baby allllll night!

Day2: WOke up felt pretty sore... no visible bruising yet. The only REALLLY swollen area is my hands and wrists! Lol I look Like I am wearing a catchers mit! haha.. WE changed the drainage pads rigght when I woke up. Im hardly draining anything out at all now so thats great. I just can't believe how weasy all of this is! ... SHower time .. Travis helped me get out of my garments and took off all the pads, and I when I looked in the mirror OMG I almost passed out .. the results are phenomenal! After only one day , even with some swelling! I CAn NOt believe it. This is the best I have ever looked in my life. WOW. And to know its just gonna get better and better . I am so excited. Ya'll I seriously recommend this procedure. BUT I didd a lotttttt of research and went to a lot of consultations before I decided to go with my doctor. SO I definitely recommened finding the best doctor possible in your area. He may be more exspensive , but its worth it ! WHo knows he may have someone studying him that day like mine did and add some complimentary areas!

Okay so I am going to keep bloggin on this every few days to let ya'll know how its going, and how it turns out! I am going to before pictures from the doctor at my one week appointment, I'll take after pictures as well and post them . I am posting a picture of me 2 days before the procedure just so u can get an idea of what size I am before hand.

Interesting. I have been coming to this website for reviews for the last couple of months as I was doing my research on SmartLipo. Yesterday as I returned home from my pre-op appointment, I came back to this site to read some more reviews to prepare for my procedure next week. First thing that came up was your blog. Funny, I am having this procedure done by Dr. C as well. He seems to be a great surgeon but I was really wanting to speak with some who had this procedure done at his office. I am a little nervous about the pain during and afterwards. I hope to read more of your blog and I hope you are recovering well.

AWh congratssss! You are going to be amazed with your results. I never imagined that it would turn out so incredible! The pain ... I'm not gonna lie, there is a little , but well worth it I must say! TAKE THE VALIUM THOUGH FOR SURE! It goes by really fast too. I just tried to stay calm and breathe and think about how good I was going to look afterwards lol! The pain after.. sucks, but its just sore.. and don't bump into anything. I went shopping the day after, and swimming the day after that. I am still just a lil swollen, but I look ten times better than I did before. You shouldn't be worried at all , just excited! Also a lot of people talked about being lumpy looking afterwards, well NO lumps here, especially on the back of my legs... they are so smooth now, bye bye cellulite. I have never looked this good in my whole life, Even when I weighed 90 lbs! Oh- and tomorrow is my post-op so I'll get me before and after pictures and pot them for ya;ll! Hope this helps!

I was wondering if you have any sore hardness around the incision areas? Do you swell more at the end of the day? Are you still wearing your compression garment? I had upper/lower stomach; flanks; and outer thighs. My lower stomach area seem larger after the procedure than before.

Hi there, Had my procedure done this morning at seven. Was a bit nervous when I got there but they were very nice and helped me relax. I took 2 atvan when I got there, stripped into those goofy bra and panties and off we were. The only discomfort I felt during the procedue was perhaps a little poke while he was inserting the anestitic. Other that that, it was very quick and no pain. I only had my upper ab done though. I got back at 8:30 and slept until 2. Still feeling a bit croggy from the atavan, but able to walk around, and no pain yet. probably because the area is still numb. I chose not to take pain killers. I think I will be okay with a couple of motrin. Thanks for keeping up your blob. You have helped me and I am sure many others. I think I will do the same for the out there thinking about the procedure.

which was more painful your stomach or thighs?
August 1, 2010
For me there was no comparison whatsoever... Thighs were MUCH more painful in the procedure and the healing process. I had upper and lower abs, flanks, bra rolls, arms, and inner and outer thighs done, and the thighs have been the most painful and have taken the longest to heal. It has only been 10 days since having my thighs done, but there is still significant pain compared to my abs.

Honestly I dont even remember?? None of it hurt tooooooo bad ... hmm if I HAD to answer though I think I would say the back of my legs hurt the worst because that was the first place they did .. and I was all nervous so I am sure that anticipation of pain made it worse than it actually was.

Hey guys ... I have had pictures posted.. but due to harrassment ,  , I have decided that for the  safety of myself , my family, and my privacy that is necessary that I delete them   (the pictures were personal picture that showed my face and my child was in a couple of them). I will call my doctor again and remind them to email me the actual DOCTORS before and afters because I do want ya'll to see my results, I have seen the before and after pics at the docs office and I am very happy with them. The whole experience was wonderful!  BIG confidence boost, now I am working out harder and feeling better about myself and body than ever before. Please don't bug me about the before and afters, I will call and ask for them , and I will post them as soon as I receive them , but I am not going to hound my doctor for them because I am aware that he and his staff are very busy. I am busy as well. Single working mother . ( I am talking to one person in particular).

*There is absolutely no point in reading all my comments on my page, a bitter jealous woman decided she was ENTITLED to claim my post is fake... and she posts and posts and posts ... so if you feel like reading a bunch of bull go ahead, actually they are pretty amusing.

Good Luck to all considering this procedure! Hope my blog could help!
