I am about 4 days post-op from my touch up on my bra rolls, and i am very happy with how my back looks now!!! the procedure was in office and not bad at all. i was very comfortable and wide awake during the whole thing. He only took about 45mins and it was quick and very pain free.All in all i am very happy with the results in my back..cant say the same for my tummy.

I'm still swollen,o can tell by when I wear my jeans around my belly u can see the imprint of where my clothing was.so it is true that it takes 6months 2 a year 2 c full results.so hang in there with me.

i noticed results as soon as i climbed off the table ( flanks ) my stomach was swollen and larger than before....The only thing that worry me now are the lumps and the indention's that are left if my garment is too tight..really creepy and weird looking.

I too am very worried about the results. I had a few areas done, but my main worry was my inner thighs. I know everyone said 3 months, 6 months etc, but surely I should see some difference now ie 10 days. Nothing.

Well i am still VERY unhappy with my results, i went back to my doctor to tell him about how i was feeling. He offered to do a free touch up on ONLY my bra roll/upper back. And not on my tummy, he is now saying that i need a TUMMY TUCK for an additional $6500!!! I am very displeased because if that was the case he should of told me i needed a tummy tuck when i first went to him for the initial consultation and i would of probably invested my money into that and not the "SMARTLIPO" that HE HIMSELF recommended i do, he mentioned nothing about a tummy tuck in our consultation and now 5 months later with already $6000 of my money flushed down the drain he is now telling me i need a tummy tuck. *sighs* words cannot express how frustrated and unhappy I am. I am going to take him up on his offer on the free touch up on my back i am scheduled for next week.

September 09, 2010 [3 and a half months post op] So guys I am 3 and a half months post op and i am not happy at all, I feel as if i wasted $6000 just to look like i lost 5 lbs. I am highly upset, because i paid $6000 just to get the same results i would of got if i did a proper diet. And probably I should of took that same money and invested in a personal trainer and i most likely would have had BETTER results with just spending a couple hundred dollers instead of spending $6000 for SMARTLIPO that had no tremendous affect on me. I am even ashame to tell anyone that i had the procedure done, because most cant even tell! I am left with loose skin,i still have heavy fat areas in the places i had the procedure. My stomach is far from small and firm, i have a fold right about my belly button that makes my stomach looks abnormal [i am thinking that is where all the fluid settled] I spent countless amounts of money on compression garments from regular ones sold in department store to the Ardyss Body Magic, and just recently this week i paid over 70$ and brought another garment from Hourglassangel.com. OVERALL I AM NOT HAPPY AND NOT SATISFIED, i invested another $200 and brought Beach Body Insanity Workout Program..[again more money to achieve an eye catching presentable body] I am going to start the workout program today, so whatever results i get from now on out will be from this program.

Iam 3months in and I still don't c any difference. Iam wondering if it was a waste of my money
September 20, 2010
that is exactly how i feel, i am very disappointed and bummed out! I went in for my 3month post op and the doc said that its to early to even talk about a touch op
September 23, 2010
I'm sorry to hear how unhappy you are with the outcome, I too had SL done in April 2010 and wasnt happy with the results so i got a touch up in August 2010, it was more money but I just wanted to be happy, so i will advise you to talk with your Dr and ask him about touching it up. I'm happier now with my results.... could more fat be removed YES! but i'm going to try and work that off, because unlike you I didnt eat health and didnt workout like i should.
September 25, 2010
Thank you soo much i think i am going to call up and schedule another visit, ill wait till im 4 months post up. And just do what you said and keep stressing i want a touch up! lol How much extra did you have to pay for the touch up? And by the way by chance do you have any update pics? Before how you looked in you before pics is kind of how i look now with my after pics! lol Thanks
September 23, 2010
I am sorry that your outcome wasn't what you wanted. I went to my Dr. for my 3 month check-up and he suggested a touch-up because there was still fat areas around my belly-button. I actually had my touch-up on Monday - 3 1/2 month Post-Op. You should really press your Dr. for a re-touch because that is ALOT of money to not be happy. Good luck
September 25, 2010
really he did it with you just being 3 months post op? I told my doctor i wanted a touch up and he was just like wait and see & hold off till im 6months- a year post op.. if you dont mind me asking how much did you pay to get a touch up and how was it? thankss =]
September 26, 2010
Yes, I asked how long I would have to wait to schedule a retouch he then said that since it had been 3 months he could do it whenever I wanted. He charged $850 and said that was basic room and equipment cost. The retouch procedure took about 3 hrs and he focused on the entire an area. I could tell an immediate difference around the belly button area. It has been a week since my retouch and I am glad I got it. Do press your Dr. He should do all he can to make you happy.
September 27, 2010
Did you feel anymore more of a discomfort during your re touch procedure? Because I was told the it does hurt more because of the scar tissue, Iam indeed going to try one more time to ask him and if not then I am going to consult with another doctor.
September 27, 2010
I feel as if it was the same both times. He commented during the procedure about there being alot of scar tissue and he had to work harder but for me it felt the same. The numbing process was the worst both times, and it wasn't more un-comfortable this time, it was about the same. Recovery has been the same so far.
September 28, 2010
Yes my doctor also suggested I get a retouch but he said 2 wait until after 6months because it would be as if he's going against concrete.the great thing about my doctor he said he would do it free of charge. So we will c what happens between now and then
September 29, 2010
Thats great thay he offered ti do it free of charge..is it possbile that u can email me ur before & after pics? i wud love to see them
You are a beautiful girl and we WILL get there...just hard work. Off to the gym.
