Smart Lipo Tomorrow and Friday - Highlands Ranch, CO

It looks great. Im definitely doing smartlipo instead of tummy tuck. I was very worried about having loose skin, but IRS tighten up great. Thank u for posting more pictures. U made my decision official...glad ur doing well. I get mt boobs in June and I'm doing the lipo in fall....yeeeeaaaaa...

Hi D. Your results look good for not having a tummy tuck. I had a TT in 2002 and gained some weight back over the past 10 years. I recently had vaser lipo, which is not quite the same, but lipo nonetheless. I also barfed up the vicodin, it needs to be taken with food, even half a sandwich. Anyway, just wear your compression garment for as long as you can stand it. At least a month. The more you compress and keep the area tight, the better the outcome. Just dont overtighten the garment thinking you are doing a good thing, too tight will cause fat or fluid to go elsewhere, like if you squeeze a water balloon too tight, the top will bulge out. I also had hard lumps here and there, which went away with lymphatic massage. I was able to do it myself in the shower with soapy hands and just pressed and massaged out the hard lumps. Not fun, but it worked. I also have what I believe is an uneven result, it looks better contoured on one side vs the other, but that is probably something only I notice and nobody else does. I would do vaser or smart lipo again if necessary, I hope to avoid it - but getting older and Father Time sure is a [RS bleep]...

Hismotivation- thank you. I have to keep looking at the after pictures to convince myself I am looking better. A.B.- Under the advice of my doctor I took the garmet off and did not sleep aty all last night. I am going to put it back on. Im worried I am becoming depedent on it. It hurts if I dont wear it. Anyone else have this problem?

I wore mine for 6 weeks. It just felt better and like my muscles and skin were secure. I was miserable with it off for too long.

U look awesome....your pics and updates inspired me to go ahead and have the smart lipo. Im having mine done on the 5th and im scared to death....Thank you

Hang in there! My bruising faded at about a week and a half...and I'm a month out and still somewhat swollen.

Thanks. It really helps to hear other peoples story. Did you have tumecent or anesthesia? I have that pins and needles feeling. It's scary when you read peoples bad experiences.

Good luck with everything. I was really swollen until about a month out. It will get better every week. I promise you that I saw much better results after about 6 weeks. Just give it some time :-)

thank you! It really help to hear those words encouragement! Im trying to stay positive but some days its not that easy.

Keep patient! I'm 3 months out and still hurting, remember it takes 6 MONTHS to fully heal... I'm getting a touch up this Friday so I get to restart my healing clock WOOHOO (not) lol.

Don't remember, they gave them to me in the office. I took vicodin and lorazepam for the first procedure and one of the two (not sure which one, probably vicodin) made me nauseuos for two days. Second procedure, told them I didn't want vicodin because of how sick I got. They assured me the anti-nausea pill would handle it and it did!
