Great Experience with Smart Lipo on Back/Bra Line Fat!!

In April 2019, I had smart lipo to rid myself of my back fat. It has always bothered me since I was in high school. I always had to find the right clothes to wear so that my rolls would not be super obvious. I have long thought that my ribcage was a little big for my size (5’5”, 140 lbs) but to have fat blobs on my back on top of my ribcage was horrible! I was nervous about getting it done because I had had regular lipo on my abdomen before and the recovery was no joke. So here is how it all went down. I arrived at the office at 8 am. I had taken a percocet and a valium before I left home. After signing all the necessay papers and speaking with Dr. Sanderson about the procedure, I changed into my gown and went into the procedure room. I had a few numbing shots and we got started. Dr. Sanderson told me everything that she was doing in real time. I was awake the whole time. I did not feel any pain just pressure and movement. She did the fat liquification, skin tightening, and suctioning (not sure if I remember the order correctly). I believe it took about 30-45 minutes. I had a total of 6 insertion points. After we were finished the nurse bandaged me up and I put on my compression garment and I was on my way. I felt absolutely fine. My husband picked me up and we went home. I had very minor bleeding for one day and I only knew it when I changed my bandages. The day after I began going for walks and trying to stay active. I started jogging 3 weeks after. I was definitely sore the first month but it was nothing like doing regular lipo when I had general anesthesia. When I look back on the last few months I can honestly say that it was a great experince. I look and feel so much thinner and my self confidence has shot way up. Clothes actually fit me now. I can also tell that it is still improving. It even feels like I can feel my skin tightening up. I can see my ribs now! It is so weird and cool! I will post some more pics in a few months. The after pics were taken almost 3 months after. Oh, I still wear my spanx garment at night and most days. Thanks Dr. Sanderson!!

I know right. It has been 6 months since the lipo and i am even smaller. I have some loose skin that needs to be tightened so I am going to do 4 sessions of BTL Exilis on my bra line area.

Great update. I have had the same issue with back fat. I am looking forward to having it removed next weekend.
