It's been almost a year since my 2nd round with SmartLipo. I still am overall pleased with the procedure. It all turned out well for me!! Here are some final pictures I had taken one month after the 2nd round showing comparisons of before any work was done and after 1 month of the second round.

I should add, for those looking for this to be an answer to "weight loss" it's NOT!! Strangely, after all the fat was removed, as you can see in the photos, my body does look very different, however, I weigh exactly the same!! I can't explain it. I look thinner, I just weigh the same. That being said, I don't care!!!! I feel I look so much better and that makes me feel better. The number on the scale doesn't matter!!

Hi! Did wearing that awful waist cincher more than recommend help you out with the smoothness? I am only day 2 post op and I am still wearing mine... If you did wear it longer than recommended how often would you wear it? Your results are fantastic by the way! You look great!!

I totally agree with that! It's more about how you fit in your clothes than the number on the scale! Btw: Looking great!

I wore the compression garment for a full month. It does help get better results the longer you wear the garment.

You look amazing! You don't look like you have any bumps at all! Do you feel any?

No "bumps" really. I had cellulite before that I still have of course. But at 43, I don't look too bad after going through 2 rounds of Smartlipo.

I decided to do a quick 1 week post op update. I feel good!! First week after surgery was MUCH easier this time than last time. I only wore the pads for the first day. (I reacted badly to the adhesive this time) Since day 2 I've been rotating my garments, but they are all ULTRA firm high waist shapewear type garments. I also wear a waist cincher belt. It's not exactly "comfortable" but I'm determined to have everything stay nice and FLAT this time :)
I still have some bruising, and a couple of hard spots, but I know that just like last time, in a couple of short weeks, they will be all gone and a distant memory. So much easier going through all this the 2nd time knowing what to expect and how to handle things :)
I had my follow up appt with my Dr late last week. He and I are both VERY pleased with my results! Once again, he did a great :)
Attached some new pictures. I'll post more when I'm 1 month post op.

Round 2 of Smartlipo

NJDeb
After 9 months, I decided to get more Smartlipo done. This time, I had my entire abdomen done. Last time, I had just the lower part done which created a "muffin top" like appearance when I had no clothes on, that I absolutely HATED. I'm hoping having the rest done now will give me a better result. I also had my left hip and both my outer thighs touched up. I am posting my before pictures and will post some "after pictures" as soon as I'm healed.
This time, I knew what to expect overall. However, having the entire abdomen done was a little more painful than the other areas I had done. Around the belly button area was very uncomfortable as well as the areas near my ribs.
I'm one day post op and have the same discomfort as last time pretty much. A lot of swelling and bruising. Leaked quite a bit last night, but it seems to have stopped now. I'll update again in a month with some more pictures.

Wow this is a treasure trove of info!  Glad you are healing well from the second round.  Let us know if anything is different from the first round.

Looking good. I have a muffin top after my procedure, never had one before. Doctor was supposed to do upper and lower abs and waist. I'm happy with my waist but not upper stomach.
