I'm so sorry can you get a second opinion at another facility?

Sorry to read your story it seems as though they should offer you some type of restitution for your procedure and I would go elsewhere with the money, I hope things work out for your satisfation

You are not the only one. I had smart lipo (same DR.) in June 2015 and it was a complete waste of $5,300.00.

Omg I'm sorry you had to go through this I wish I would have read this before you went those ppl over there are a joke I spent over $10500 with them and just had to skeins another $8500 for a tummy tuck what I was trying to avoid because it was major surgery but it was corrected majority everything they had done
4 months post

3 Months post op

Bottom line is I am very unhappy. My belly is an uneven lumpy mess. I was told that it's because of the swelling and that I need venus treatment, so that additional $$. I was also told that I may need a redo to get areas missed :-(.

sorry you had to go through so much pain for so long...in my opinion smart lipo wasn't the way to go..i think you would have been much happier with a tummy tuck.. i hope they get this worked out for you ( :

Yes same Dr.,same story but I did opt for the Venus freeze and have not paid it off yet they are so expensive they want another $1500 for 8 treatments. I have paid$500 so far but when asked can I just get a smaller package deal still no response

Hi can you please give a update to your liposuction procedures. I had Lipo at the same facilities with Dr siemien he was rushed with me I went for my 3 month check up and he wasn't even there, im now 3 month 3 weeks im still lummpy and im being told to keep wear wearing my secondary garment and to wait for the 6 ok thw for all the swelling to go down

Hello, I go on July 15 for my 3 months check up. Yes I do see a significant difference,but not significant for what I paid for,so I'm only about 30% happy,I also have four Venus treatments line up soon. I just think they are good with advertising,and then a always getting you to pay for something else. I have had three garments since the surgery,and need another size,maybe a small,but refuser to keep paying them more money I paid over $10,000 I. Old have gotten a whole Mommy Makeover if I wasn't so scared. I hope it gets better for you but they need to give you and I some of our money back. Because I don't want another surgery.

After a lot of debate, I have elected to go with SmartLipo on my Upper/Lower Abs and hips. I am a bit concerned about extra/loose skin. I don’t expect to be 100% perfect; I am looking to have a flat nice looking abdominal area and wouldn’t hate having some lose skin; however, I would be very unhappy with folds. I was just wondering how you are doing? Looking at your pics it looks like things improved well. Are there still major creases? Would you recommend this to someone in the same position?

Hi GMart, I have found a twitter page that may be helpful for you. It provides great information on liposuction and I believe it covers the various kinds as well as potential risks that may be involved. It's called Lipocoalition. When are you getting your surgery?

How are you doing? Please give us an update when you get a chance! I hope things are going well well and that your creases have minimized

Hello - Doing okay! I am happy overall; however, the swelling is just way more that I thought it would be. I am actually the exact same size pre-op because of the swelling. My skin/tummy looks better, it is just the same in size. I am hopeful that the swelling will go down more; as well as, the lumps. Then I think it would be perfect. I posted some new pics to my profile so you can see the pre/post-op. Hope all is well!
