I had smart lipo done on 9/8/09 . I have only lost and inch so far, today is 10/13/09 my measurements are upper belly ( under the breast line ) 42" accross the belly 57" lower belly 51" I dont understand why I have not lost more? I still look the same as when i went in. I am following the DR's instructions, and no change.

I am scared I waisted allot of money and I cannot afford another procudure. plus my belly button is still very tender and when i touch it, i get very sick to my stomach.

the treatment was not bad, the Dr was great, most of the staff had the personality of a rock, and complained about being there.

Is it possiable there is still allot of melted fat in there? please advise, I am so worried.

Hi, I had smart lipo 1 month ago too and I don't see results. I can actually grab my fat from my love handles. Can you grab the fat too??? Or your stomach feel hard??
parts of my stomach is hard, some parts i can still feel fat. and now because of the compresion bandage, my hyatle hernia ( if I spelled the right ) is popping way out. I went to my primary DR yesterday, he said this is normal and in another 2 months I should see a difference.
Hi, I had SmartLipo on 9/4 and I see absolutely no difference and do not measure any differently. It makes no sense to me. My weight has been stable. I can't figure out why it didn't make a difference?
I spoke to my PCP, he examined me because of the pain I still have in my belly button. I told him I have not lost any weight and no inches. I am still bloated. he said its normal for that procedure, depending on the size. well as you have read my measurements, I am not a little girl, all my weight is in my stoamch. he said give it another 2 months, try to massage the lumps I feel. he said he thinks in 2 months I will see a big difference I can only wait. I changed all my food, I buy from natural food stores, stay away from fats.
I left a message to someone the other day...my advice: Give it more time. It can take many months to see results. I went through this last year.5-6 Months later, I was happy with my procedure.
thank you perfect, I guess I just want to see the results now. I need to buy winter clothes. lol
It's been two and a half months for me and I haven't lost a pound or an inch! My surgeon is doing a redo on Nov. 12th because I have lots of bumps on my stomach and it looks worse than before surgery...
I was told by my dr and some people who commented on my questions, to give it more time. if your going back, make sure its free. I told my DR he will fix it if its not right, and i am not paying
I had body jet and smart lipo done on my upper and lower abdomen this morning. So far so good. I've been walking around, doing laundry.
