Almost a month out...

And I have to say I'm feeling a bit less enthused about my results. My stomach is looking very uneven but I'm trying to stay cool and give it time as they say it can takes months before you see your final result. Hopefully things will continue to improve though I still have weird donut like swollen area (though I'm convinced it's residual fat that wasn't taken out) around my belly button. On the plus side it is flat and my skin is still looking pretty decent. I've done a couple of lymphatic massages and I can't say they made a big difference but my swelling has never been extreme so maybe that is why. We'll see where time takes me...

Here are some pictures from this morning. Minimal swelling in the morning (increases a bit by the end of the day). Still wearing my medical grade compression garment 24/7. I have never had this flat of a tummy in my life. Keep in mind, the scars on my stomach are from a previous surgery several years ago.

I was the same way, I refused to get a tummy tuck because of the down time it involves. I had quite a bit of fat to get rid of off of my upper/lower abs and love handles. Once I had my kids I had a pouch on my lower abs and once I had my hysterectomy, that pouch hung over my bikini line! I did the Smart Lipo and I couldn't be happier! I put myself in a life style/eating habbit training 3 weeks before the surgery. You can't get all your fat removed and then think you can eat whatever you want, it CAN come back!! The main thing I would tell everyone is to PLEASE do your research!! Cheaper isn't always better when it comes to your body! So glad you are happy with your results and I hope it just keeps getting better!! :)

I agree, cheaper isn't always better, actually it's often worse. I was lucky that my doctor was having a SmartLipo promotion. He's a board certified plastic surgeon at a highly reputable office but he's new to the area, hence why I think they were offering the promotion... To build up clientele. I already work out 2-3 days a week so the lipo wasn't part of a weight loss scheme for me. I was just trying to get rid of that jiggle that I've had since I was a kid.
Thank you for your helpful input and well wishes! Glad to hear others have had great results too!!
