My Smart Lipo Journey! - New York, NY

In a bating suit

After six weeks I had my first reaction treatment. Included in the price of the smartlipo I got six reaction treatments which are supposed to dissolve the lumps of fat that are still there that were broken up originally with the laser but sort of congealed and needs to be broken up by the body. So this treatment speeds up the process and tightens the upper layer of skin. I was nervous about it, since its still very sore to the touch. It was a little uncomfortable at times and soothing at others but it was bearable. Afterwards I felt a bit sore for the next hour or so. The swelling got a little worse then better after a few days. Next time I went for the treatment was at 8 weeks and then soreness was much better so it didn't hurt at all. I'm scheduled for another treatment in a couple of days. But I'm ok with it. My swelling keeps getting better and my stomach flatter. My clothes fit me amazingly. I'm really seeing a difference and I know it will continue getting flatter because I can still feel soreness in certain areas so I know there's still inflammation and swelling there. I'm still wearing my spanx during the day, it feels more comfortable when I move around since it prevents my belly from jiggling around. After a tiring day my belly can still feel a little sore and I lie down on my bed to let it rest. I sleep without spanx. I walk or swim or do my elliptical every day. When I do jumping motions my stomach jingles and it can still hurt. It's a long healing process but I'm definitely seeing amazing results. And I know it will get even better . In the beginning I was really discouraged because of the pain and soreness and my stomach was still swollen. I was seeing results but only part of it and was beginning to doubt if it was worth all the suffering. That's when I found this site and read all I can about people's experiences and it really helped to see that it was normal and it this was the healing process. It just takes a long time. Even 6 months to a year to heal completely. So I decided to write about my experiences so people can benefit too. Hope this helps?

Still swollen, it feels sometimes hot to the touch, painful to the touch, some itching at times, still afraid to massage it even if I'm supposed to. It hurts to press on it or rub it. Still hanging in there.!
