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.

Day 1, approx 5-6 hours, performed abs/flanks first, then chest after. Wasn't that bad pain wise, although, after the lipo was done, when he was suctioning out, the anesthesia began to wear off so he wasn't able to completely finish, so my body will have to absorb a tad bit more than normally because he didn't want to overdue the anesthesia for my body weight, etc. Chest went fine (smaller area). The picture on my profile and below is before and the morning after. Pain wasn't bad at all.
Day 2 & 3, swelling begins, and the 1,000 crunches feeling begins. Two days of pretty tough pain. Took vicodin for the pain.
Day 4, pain wasn't as bad, but not fun to get up and down from bed/sitting etc. Weened off the vicodin.
Day 5, back to work, not a problem but most of the time behind the desk. Nobody could notice I was sore because it wasn't really bad.
Day 6-9 (today). Still swelling, although I feel my right flank still has residual fat still in it, maybe missed due to the anesthesia running out and not able to do the "stand up and check for missed spots". Doctor is advised, we'll see what it looks like at the 1 month point. No pain, I'm getting anxious to start working out. Been wearing the compression garment 100% of the time, had to wash it a couple times, but no biggy.
Tomorrow I'm going to hit the gym and do some light cardio. Meeting with a trainer to get me started on a schedule that won't mess me up. Don't want to go crazy and put myself back.
All and all, doctor was Awesome! I wish my body didn't metabolize as quickly as it did, I might have gotten a slightly better result, but we'll see what it looks like after a month or two and go from there.
I highly recommend to anyone! I've looked like this for 39 years, couldn't change my shape NO MATTER WHAT I did or how much weight I lost or built from lifting weights and cardio. Now I have motivation to get in better shape!
I'll add to this once the month and two month checkups happen so I can give the updates on the residual fat versus swelling, etc. I personally think I looked the best the next day after the surgery. So hopefully it'll look awesome once I'm done healing!!!

Today was day 10, I went to the gym, did some light running and some low weights, squats and mild situps/crunches. Felt pretty good, but want to take it slow. I took some more pics, this was the best one, but still feel fat. You can see one of my flanks is slightly larger than the other. Different angles look worse, again, this is the better of all the pics that I posted. I so hope that this is only swelling, but it doesn't feel like it at all, the left side (right in the mirror pic) feels like swelling, the other side feels like normal fat...It seems like my upper abs are holding fat as well, like a line across my belly button and up. I believe this is normal for this surgery as weight tends to fall there, but not sure.
Anyhow, I'll update when I see much improvement or after my docs appt.

Extremely happy and would recommend to anyone looking to get Vaser/Smart Lipo done! I can't say enough good about him and his staff! Very happy I was referred to Dr Walter. A+++++++ in my book! Just look at my before and after...that says it all...
