Smart Lipo

WORTH IT$10,500
Hi! I am 21 years old, 5'4, and weigh 155 lbs. I will be getting Smart Lipo on my full abdomen, flanks, love handles, and bra fat rolls.
For all my life I have been insecure about my body. Even at my skinniest at 120 lbs, I had a lower belly and love handles that wouldn't budge. Growing older, I have gained weight and even with dieting, exercising, I've been at the same weight for about a year. I'm tired of not enjoying myself in public because I feel so gross, or not even letting my fiancé see me naked. My Smart Lipo procedure is booked in 2 separate days, abdomen on July 18, and full back on July 25. My goals are to look not as pudgy, id like a more feminine shape to my back as I feel so boxy. Join me on my journey !!!

Day of treatment

Day 1: The procedure

jvorobieva
Hey all, so today I got my liposuction on my abdomen! It started by me arriving early to take Percocet, Xanax, and a antibiotic. After getting loopy, the doctor came in and drew on my abdomen and reached as far as the sides of my abdomen.
So once we got situated and it was time to start, he first created incision holes, not sure how many maybe 6? Then he used a cannula to numb the areas and oh my gosh this was the worst part. I was definitely throwing a few F bombs during this part. After a while of torture he competed the numbing process and we waiting a while to take in effect. Then the rest was easy. He first used something to break down the fat, and then another cannula to suck the fat away. This didn’t hurt except a few stings once in a while. Felt like a massage. He then stiched up the holes which I also didn’t feel. After finishing, the process took only 2 hours. We got me into a compression suit and I was on my way home! I was pretty light headed and dizzy after the procedure but eating light snacks helped a lot. When I got home I took a 2 hour nap whoch got rid of the dizziness. So far I’ve been able to get up, walk, and do everything as normal. I did have some pain but just took some pain medicine and now I feel fine. Will keep you updated on the rest of recovery !

I forgot to mention, he took out 3 pounds from my abdomen! I wish I would've taken a picture of the fat in the container, looked pretty cool.

Day 3 - finally feeling better!

jvorobieva
So after coming home from my surgery I felt great! And then I went to bed and woke up at 3 am with intense pain which followed half of day 2. I guess the numbing solution wore off lol. It is now day 3 and I was finally able to remove the garment to shower. I had foam under the compression garment which added to a lot of discomfort I’ve been having so its nice to be free. But wowza I am extremely swollen, but I can see immediate results! I’m already 2.5 inches off of my waist.
