11 mons post-op & I'm THRILLED with my results ~ down 2 pant sizes & have ppl commenting on my "weight loss" or "looking great" when in reality; the scale isn't that drastic but I am down 2 pant sizes...assuming the lipo made me much more proportioned which is what I wanted!!
**you must have realistic expectations** lipo is a kick-start, not a miracle & you have to 'protect your investment by watching what you eat & exercise' bottom line!!
I'm considering having my flanks done soon, so I'll keep posting!!

Hello, I am going in for same procedure and was reading your reviews. What did you mean when you said that you would have had better result with local anesthia. I am going to the surgery center because I thought I would have better results if I was put to sleep so I would not need as much fluid put into me. How was you recovery time immediately after the procedure? Were you able to move around? I am scheduled for 10:00am.

Well, it's just over 3 mons post op & every day is better results!! Just amazing...people continue to compliment me on how much younger (yes, younger) I look along with the difference in my size overall!!!
I continue to watch what I eat; I don't over indulge.
My expectations weren't unrealistic to begin with but this is just "too good to be true"!!

I had slim lipo last week along with breast augmentation. I am barely one week out and I am still up 10 lbs from my pre-surgery weight. Do you remember retaining water after your surgery?
March 23, 2012
No retaining water...the first couple days swelling but never water weight gain. I had a general anesthetic and with a local you may have water retention? I'd ask your doctor. Good Luck.
I'm just about 6 mons post op & down 2 pants sizes & still VERY HAPPY & would do it again tomorrow :)

I just had Lipotherme on May 24th, and I am now one week post op. I see some changes but not HUGE, and my lower abs feels hard, and still sore. Is this normal? I am hoping to see more changes, please! I am 48. I guess I just need to be patient. I keep reminding myself it has only been one week. Just looking for some reassurance and some signs to look for or helpful tips. Thanks!

I'm not sure what the difference is between lipotherme & slim lipo, but 1 week out it's unusual to have the results that I did. I know several others who had slim lipo & they didn't see results for months. So, I'd suggest to keep wearing compression garments as long as you can & watch what you eat (protect your investment)!! I recently had slim lipo on my neck & arms (3 wks post op) and see results in my neck but not arms & am told that's typical!! Good luck & you must watch what you eat or it will all be for nothing! I'm down 2 pant sizes & am very happy with my results, hope you wind up the same!!

5 and a half weeks post surgery & results are only getting better (I am watching what I eat ~ want to protect my investment)!!
Going to doc for follow up visit in a few days but as of now all is well, down a pant size :)
Still wearing compression garment & I prefer it on rather than off. Everyone asking "how much weight have you lost" when it was never about the weight for me in the beginning...it was about having my pants fit better across my stomach. I actually got on the scale out of curiosity & was surprised to see I'm down 12 lbs!!

My advice is "keep your expectations realistic" and you must "protect your investment by working out; watching what you eat"
BOTTOM LINE!! Lipo is a kick-start not a miracle!!
