Update..I decided to try it again on May 4, 2011.This time I got regular liposuction in my upper and lower abs. I went to a double board certified plastic surgeon and lets just say that when I left the hospital I seen results. So much for the I just swell theory. This go around was less painful which is weird bc I thought smartlipo was suppose to have minimal pain..oh well..I have a posting under liposuction with some pictures. I am looking foward to seeing my final results..

Update..so I recently had my 3 month follow up and no results. I am the same size I was pre-surgery (weight and measurements). So I would say the procedure was unsuccessful. I am considering a re-touch. The Dr couldnt understand herself why there weren't any changes. Today I received a call saying that my hips have gotten bigger so its possible I gained weigh in that area, but that doesnt explain why there were no changes in my stomach area. The Dr said that I should try to lose the weight in my hips and then we will look at re-touch options. I dont understand, my hips werent even done so I dont understand how that has an effect on my stomach. On top of that I only gained less than an inch in my hips..like I said no weight gain..Still not satified, waste of money!

It has been two weeks since my smartlipo procedure. I will update pictures probably next week. I can not say I am completely happy with my results thus far but I am trying to stay hopeful that I didnt waste my money. I get frustrated when I look at other people pictures on here, day 1 or 2 and showing a big difference. I am at week 2 and I look how I did before the surgery. I am still swollen and sore in in my lower abs.I can tell that is going down slowly, but still there. I will try to stay positive. Every body is different, maybe mine will just take forever to heal

Thanks for the update, Jeanne. Did your doctor mention how much fat was removed? That might help you compare with other RealSelfers who have had Smart Lipo, and I'm assuming if more fat was removed then you'll be extra-swollen too.
BTW, if you're worried about your results you can also post a question on the Doctor Q&A forum. Two weeks is still early days for Smart Lipo but it can give you peace of mind in the meantime. :)

Update..In two weeks will be my 3 month update. I can say that I don't look how I looked in those pictures but I dont look great. I am dissatified with the whole procedure. Its like after the surgery I blew up real bad, and now I am back to how I looked before. I know it takes 6 months to see the full results but I can't see it looking any better. I will be asking about a re-touch at my 3 month appointment.

I went to Dr Diana office, and Dr Pittman did my procedure. For what I got done it cost about $3500. Even though I am not happy with my results I did see a review on here from the same office and her results look good. So..maybe just my luck!
Hi Jeanne -- Thanks for updating and I'm sorry to hear about your lack of results. That's a weird thing for them to tell you, since fat can't be spot reduced. You could spend forever trying to "lose weight on your hips." :(
So what's next for you? Are you going to try to lose the weight?
