WORTH IT$5,300

I went to a few consultations one was lower i opted to the midrange price for my upper lower abs and flanks not because of the price but the surgeon had excellent bed side manner, comfortable with facility. Has been doing smart lipo since it first came out. 1/3 his staff had it done by him. i felt comfortable and am going in for it. So excited.

Will keep everyone posted.

yes i did a search it's a laser treatment center near the Palisades mall. Venolase it's called. I'm also getting another opinion from a NYC md. In reading many posts i don't know if i can tolerate local anesthesia. So i'm checking with other physicians that do general. Can you email me your physician?

Sure, my doc is called Neil Goodman. I saw many other docs but Dr. Goodman has a good price and has done more than 2.000 smart lipos...he shows you many pics of his patients and etc. I like how realistic he is...his office is in Mount Kisco but he has another office in NYC. His phone # : 912 242 4882

As far as the anesthesia...I am not thinking much about it...many ppl did it i can do it too..im focusing in the results instead but goodluck! I'd not go under geral anesthesia unless i really needed it.

i went to a dr. recommended by someone here on the board. I felt so comfortable with him. I went in with one mindset of what i wanted and came out with soemthing totally different. He explained to me about having lipo in one area and other areas not in proportion with the final result. His knowledge bedside manner, and great demeanor made me feel so comfortable. Going with him instead of my other poste. Having upper & lower Abs, waist and back with general anesthesia, i opted for general because i am healthy and there is no reason i should feel discomfort and i'm having more than 2 areas. VERY Happpy pushed up my treatment to 3/14.
