Smart Lipo One Week Away - Fort Lauderdale, FL

Newlex exactly what FrederickN pointed out you should ask. If they do touch ups. That could be a key role if you aren't satisfied and you want work done.

Hector like I said, thank you! I am taking pills to remove the water out of my body like I said in my update, a couple of people thought they gained weight after the procedure. Well it turned out that they we're holding water. They seen improvements with the pills and eliminate water retention. I am going to try to exercise next week as well. I am going to start off slowly by walking as I still can't run. But at least I can exercise.

Yes I am still swollen but not as bad as one of my updates I mentioned. From 1-10 I am around a 6.5 or 7 and we will see how this week plays out and how I look after the 2nd full week. After all the swelling and water retention.

I have an appointment for therapy this week. Will keep up on the water retention pills as well. Let's Get Er' Done!

Borinquen, glad I could help! How was the draining and the bruising shortly after your procedure, if I may ask?

The draining lasted about 3-4 days. I had to put a shower curtain over my bed because I was leakly badly. I was even leaking at work. I went ahead and put paper towels taped to my body for the first two days, but after that i was fine. I am not leaking anymore.

newlex, ask them if they do free touch-ups if you don't get the desired result. i'm 2 months post op and see virtually no results at all. you want someone who is going to do the job right the first time, considering the recovery time, and the fact that most say that you should wait a year before doing lipo on the same area again.

The swelling is what make me nervous, but from what ive read and seen on other reviews swelling is common shortly after the procedure and you may gain weight (due to water gain, after all you are swollen), but that it goes away. Keep us posted!

Thanks for sharing. I have a similar story to yours and have the same problem areas. Your results look great so far, you can definately see a diffrence! Also would you mind sharing how things are going with the swelling and soreness. Admitedly that's what is giving me cold feet from going through with it. Ive visited the clinic where I'm getting the procedure done like 3 times with more concerns. I got quaoted 3,500 for flanks upper and lower abs. the doctor said that I have a small frame and dont have that much to remove so that plays a big role in how swollen and sore you'll be also age ect, I'm 25 and weight 165, down from 220 so i do have that saggy skin issue too which is supposed to improve with smart lipo. What machine did your doctor use was it the smart lipo triplex? Sorry for the long post! :-)

Hi Hector! Yes I am surprised my self. I knew going through smart lipo, I didn't have too much fat to take off. Swelling and Soreness for the first two days was a major factor. Felt like I got ran over literally by a car. But after the night of the surgery and the next day , today is Sunday and I feel much more like myself. My stomach is still a bit numb, however I can move around now. Before I couldn't even get off the bed! I am able to sit down on a computer and type all of this, before I was posting the pictures and writing from my IPhone! lol. If you work a desk job like me, I return to work tommorow, than two days rest will pretty much recover you to a status to function. Like I said, I got it done Friday and that night was painful because of the swelling and the next day which was Saturday. I ate soup for all my meals, and today (sunday) I ate a real meal which was rice, beans and chicken. I think that is a good price, mines would of been the same price but my man breast we're a bit bigger and I wanted that down as well. I'll be 22 years old in a couple of weeks and I'm glad I did this while I am in my 20's. I say you will be happy with the results too. If we we're in our 30's or 40's it would of cost more due to the fat we will have than. The goal now is to maintain this body, I absolutely love it. I signed up for 24 hour fitness over the web a few hours ago, and I am probably going to start working out in a week in a half. I honestly did not pay attention to the machines he used. He used two different machines. One for smart lipo and he used another for the body contouring. It was weird because I signed up for Smart Lipo and he said he mixes his smart lipo with body contouring and used some weird machine to finally shape the belly. I had a towel over my face over the whole procedure due to the fact I am kinda weezy when I see blood and over react haha! But procedure though itself was a breeze, they num you and talk too you, really It goes by quick and just not painful at all. Like I said right after the surgery you will be swollen and very sore but it will last just two days. Get those two days like a champ and on your third day like I am on currently you will feel 70% back to normal. Even though I have bruises all over my body from the surgery they will go away in the next couple of weeks.

Any more questions let me know. Good luck to you Hector and also Newlex! I will keep this page updated every week.

WOW amazing results, congrats!!
