Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.      
How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

its been 13 days since I had the smart lipo procedure,
most of the brusing is gone, Ive been wearing the compression garmet 24/7 since the procedure. i havent noticed any difference in shape or form of my stomach in any direction or view. my stomach is still pretty sore, and ive noticed a few small lumps have developed which i anticipated based on reading other reviews. its still a little stiff in the center of my stomach, the sides are not stiff anymore. from what I read, once the stiffness goes away than that means your mostly to your final shape, since the stiffness is mostly gone from my sides I assume they are at their final shape which means pretty much no change from before the procedure. i would say about 50% or a little more of the stiffness still remains so I would hope I have yet to see some results in the most important area. i measured my stomach at the circumference at the belly button point, Ive seen about 1" in reduction but this could be due to time of day, just eaten, etc.. again, no noticeable/ visible change :(

I will post again probably at the 30 day mark, I hear at this point is when whatever results you see at that point, that is 90% of what you will end up with.

today is the 1st day after the smart lipo, went in to have the doctors office to change the original bandages used after the procedure first thing this morning.
i took off all bandages and showed, cleaned the puncture holes and rebandaged, the holes are extremely small. the leakage/bleedingwas not nearly as much as the paperwork made me expect. never had any leak through to the extent of messing up my clothing. also, i could of easily driven myself to and from this operation, they say your not supposed to but i didnt feel drowsy or anything... typical guy could easily drive himself home, its just a little uncomfortable. the bruising wasnt as bad first thing this morning when the docs office changed the dressings, but now seems worse, i may be wearing the compression garmet too tight? its just an adjustable oversized belt, you can adjust it however much you want... anyway attached are pics for today, shows you want you can expect... cant notice any difference in my size from any photo direction yet.

this provider review is still ongoing, I will finish it sometime in the 30 to 60 day mark because I believe the results are a big portion of a proper review
