My Experience AND Also NEED to Know if ....????

after a bit of fine tuning using the PresionTX the smaller device for the chin..... I had that done in the belly area NO suctioning just going in to break up all of the ???? hardness in the belly area and trying to soften the ligaments from sides down thru groin area to the top of pelvic WHICH were very hard and sucked in and under causing more bloat and harness to the belly - - I am 12 days out with NO bloating hardly a swelling and hardly bruising SUPER little bruising........... my belly is softer, flatter and the ligaments along groin area to top of pelvic is softer STILL more swelling at the top of pelvic but that is also where the device went in thru to numb and loosen ..... I have to say I do have and am VERY lucky to have met my Dr .... she is the SWEETEST, LOVELIST very Beautiful Dr Padella who is the MOST caring, warm AND very patient who has worked with me for months before she did this........... I am hoping the it stays like this but better as time goes on AND the pelvic area goes down more and the ligament or tendands ??? loosen more and soften more - I have been wearing the wrap garment since ALSO started the Lymph massage 4 days post 3 times that week, 2 time next week and then week 3 will be 1 and we will take it from there .... I also made a belly board and place that inbetween the garment .... anyway .... that is my update and possitively thinking all will be GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow!!! 1 year. I am beside myself with REGRET over spending THIS money and doing this.... it is so DEPRESSING & a bit dibilatating and I have NEVER been depressed. I am driving my husband nuts who did not think in the 1st place I needed anything done - my belly is NOW a belly from FLAT below the breasts down was, AGAIN with just a very SMALL area below the belly button VERY small that I wanted removed - I NOW have a puffed out belly from bra down ANd it is like jelly .... I am 9 - 10 weeks out ....

ALL I see are GREAT pics of FLAT stomachs of people who had a belly a BELLY and day after and 7 ..... 10 days out ..... 1 month out all look great

I am just disgusted

I will share MY experience BUT would also like to know IF anyone has had ANY issues after Smart Lipo

I am 5' - 100 lbs. Eat well ALWAYS have and workout. I had a VERY small 4 inches across and 1 inch wide in the ABDOMINAL area near belly button and FLANKS that I just could NOT get rid of, so I decided on Smart Lipo.... SIMPLY ? right ? not much to do

The Dr said she could tighten just under the breast area as well and maybe just take a smidge from there of fat OKAY - and the the lower part.

The flanks and also tighten up near the back bra area

The procedure went smoothly..... I felt nothing was given something to relax and a pain med - after I was drousy but awake.

I really saw ZERO change when I stood up......... and STILL saw the 4 inch long and 1 inch wide puckered out in the abdoninal area and mentioned it also ONE flank side looked still bigger than the other side - I also pointed out..... she said it was fine BUT I said it should be flat in that area.... anyway as I was talking her assistant had taken all equipment apart AND SO.........................

Next day when I went back for the check and weight - I was 2 1/2 POUNDS more than what I was - AND ZERO change in my measurements - to THIS DAY 9 weeks out I have ZERO change in measurements

I wore my garment WHICH was not the typical compression garment given by others - it was the stocking like one from thigh up NO zipper, or fasteners...... one that would would buy and wear AFTER the typical compression garment

I worn that for pretty much 7 - 24 for 6 - 7 weeks (actually bought 2 more to switch off with)

THAT SAID - I was so swollen.... the belly area it was like a FILLED water balloon inside of me .... I woke up bloated and as the day went on MORE bloated - rather than get better it was climbing up towards just under the bra area and around the flanks for 2 MONTHS........ and not resolving and feeling worse

ALL I was doing a week out was the treadmill at a slow pace and also the Vib Plate LOW vibration and massage AND HUGE belly by days end

WEEK 6 the Dr prescribed an antibiotic JUST in case infection, and I also STOPPED wearing the garment 7 - 24 ONLY put on the do the treadmill which by this time maybe week 3 started an incline and also a bit of a higher speed

The belly went down BUT NOW I have STILL swelling ?????????? not sure looks like a PREGANCY bump always there CONSTANT down towards the (you know area)

I read and looked at 100's of before and after pics of others WHO got up FLAT stomachs, next day pic also, INCHES thinner and visable by pics, and working out at the gym in week 2, hardly wearing the compression garments, and a month out look awesome

SO WHAT GIVES HERE -

I am MISERABLE!!!! and feel as though I WASTED 5000.00 .....................................

Is there ANYONE out there who has had ANY of my symptoms of bloat, swelling, looking bigger than before, NO inches changed?

I mean this is NUTS

LET ME ADD - This Dr is by FAR one of the BEST Dr's I have come across in a VERY LONG time!!!

She is VERY caring, professional, sincere, takes time to explain procedures, doesn't rush...... AND is SUPER SUPER patient and I do mean PATIENT. She really does go above and beyond takes her job as a Physician very serious and really cares about her patients & their well being ... she is right there to address any issues, concerns & questions there might be.

I have had BOTH Smartlipo & Pearl Laser with her ... I am still in the healing stage and doing followups and she is still there for me to make sure all is okay, healing as it should and for reassurance
