Today I had my bra roll (fat that hangs over the top of your bra, under arm area, and rolls under and below bra) smart lipoed. My doctor and nurses were again amazing. I took my 2 sedation pills as well as one norco before my procedure. The pain was pretty bad for the numbing part, just as it was the first procedure. When the first needle goes in, it pinches alot. Some areas are starting to numb and its okay but others it was very painful for me. I just closed my eyes and felt with it. Once they started with the fat removal it was okay. Because he was going over my ribs i felt pressure, and some areas pinches. The trick is to stay calm and try to think about anything else and time goes by. He did such a wonderful job going over everything and making sure it was all done perfectly. Once he finished suctioning, he pressed on my sides to help drain fluid and then applied bandages and my compression garment. I took a pain pill when i got home and a nap, and i feel fine. No pain as of yet. I am so very excited! Now that my waist is smaller, the deep groves in my back where my bra roll hangs will be gone too. I am thrilled!! :)

I had my procedure completed 4 days ago and excited about the months to come. Like you I am anxious to get back to the gym but will probably hold off for a while. I'm still in some pain but wondering if you waited until the pain went away before you started to massage? I can already feel hard spot and want to be proactive... How long before you started to massage your lumps? Thanks a bunch!

Has all your bruising gone away?
April 5, 2013
No...I still have a lot of bruising about a week later but I'm taking and using arnica gel and pills. I'm hoping it will help with the bruising and swelling. At week 2 it is supposed to all go away including the pain...looking forward to that day! :)

Hello! could you say how many inches or pounds you lost since your smartlipo? My surgery is the 19th and I am so so scared I will not see any results.

8 days post op! Swelling has set in! Im huge! I was trying on different garments and also got a bit carried away with my light exercise. . I am praying I did not mess up my healing!! Totally freaking out acctually! 20 minutes of hard biking on a stationary bike.. my super tight binder was on though, yet Im still anxious about it :( anyone else get too active too soon and still heal well?

Dont worry about the exercising...it wont mess you up. It will just delay your healing a little if you do too much abs exercise. So do your aerobics and avoid abs exercise for now.

Yes I sure will! I dont have much change since the last pics, but ill take more today. Im having the bra roll done in 3 days so ill post more pics for that too! My sides are very different, I love it! Back too! It makes me acctually have more of a butt lol my bellys not drastically different yet but im assuming and hoping its just swelling. The first day it was super flat! Time will tell :)

Oh and I was wondering if you have been getting massages to help prevent lumps? I'm only asking so many questions because I'm trying to decide between smartlipo and coolsculpting... I appreciate all your feedback. :)

No problem at all ask away :) as my swelling has gone down, my belly has gotten harder and a few bumps form here and there but nothing scary. I just message my belly myself every evening. It helps losin it up a ton! The lumps shrink slowly. You cant really see them, just feel them under the skin. My smart lipo has been awesome! I am 3 weeks out, and the swellings not bad, no pain and healing great.
