WORTH IT$6,000
So far so good - 2 weeks today! I'm feeling fine. I never needed any pain pills besides a regular tylenol. I found the hardest part was/is wearing the garment. It is tight and annoying. But I'm doing it.
The results seem good. I just wanted to fit nicely in my cloths which were starting to pinch me despite my static weight and exercising efforts.
I'm 5 feet 1 and 105 pounds. I started to notice a small inner tube around my midsection. I went to 5 plastic surgeons for consults and came back with 2 votes for tummy tuck, 2 for smart lipo and one for traditional lipo. I wasn't having a tummy tuck - I knew that - I'm too small, and it is too much for me to undergo given my life and my needs (I don't think I really needed at TT)
Anyway, I ended up with traditional lipo because of all the reviews that I've read comparing the methods as well as my final docs recommendations.

Thank you for sharing! I also don't want a tummy tuck but am considering traditional lipo. Please continue to keep us posted on your results. You look great so far!

If you have any questions I'm really happy to share info. I used this sight regularly before I had the procedure and it helped me a lot with planning and expectations.

Thank you! While I am pretty slender for my height, I'm an apple shape. The only time I didn't have padding around the middle was in high school when I weighed 113. That is neither healthy nor realistic. I am trying to workout and get my BF% down to 18% but losing that much fat (12lbs) and gaining 9lbs of muscle is proving to be crazy hard. I was planning on doing the abdominal lipo coupled with ThermiTight around my navel sometime this fall, since it will be several months with a compression garment afterward. I think you look great for only 2 weeks out, and I don't see any of the dreaded extra skin my PS warns me about. You're my new belly inspiration. :) Wishing you continued luck and happy healing!

Dr. Swift was very thorough and honest and I believe gave me the best
advice procedure wise. I had choices to make regarding which kind of
lipo - or a tummy tuck. Dr. Swift was thorough and responsive in his
manner and advice. I also felt (feel) very comfortable with the office
manager Stefanie. I'm very happy with the outcome so far (2 weeks).
Photos are already on another general review that I did.
I'd say so -- you look incredible already! Please keep us updated on your progress.
