I had lower abs/flanks, inner/outer thighs (front and back) and saddlebags done. I am 10 months out. So much lumpiness, unevenness in legs and saddlebags. Many scars. I can not even wear shorts and won't even consider putting on a bathing suit. I would give almost anything to rewind time and NOT do this. It is emotionally damaging, and I am completely ashamed. The doctor told me how great I'd look and nothing she promised was correct. Very disappointing. Please think very hard about doing this. It is not worth the money. I look at my before pictures, and I look much better. I actually look normal. My legs now are completely embarrassing.

where did you go? i had SL done last August (I'm about 5 months post) and I've had issues with lumpiness and scars. They did velashape and now they're doing lipo-ex but i don't really see a difference yet. it's so ironic because i did this with the dream of having a flat stomach and being able to wear a bikini and I am actually more embarrassed and shy now than before! I do look better in clothes but otherwise it was not the breezy procedure with great results that i was promised.

I also had smart lipo and wish I didn't... I looked way better before. I am so SICK and Tired of doctors advertising their magic.

I feel bad for saying this, but it is a relief to hear that others are unhappy with the procedure. I am now going through Lipo-Ex to see if it will smooth the unevenness. I will keep everyone posted. I am only on my second treatment.

I have been through three Lipo-Ex treatments. I can tell the area around my belly button is smoothing out, as are the lumps in my legs. I have three more sessions, so I will keep you posted. I also had my scars lasered for removal. I will keep you posted on that, too. I will say that my dr is very intent on my being happy with results and has been committed to doing what she can.
