I had horrible results from smart lipo which have caused me to incur an additional $20,000 to fix (reconstructive surgery). Buyer beware. While I am sure many people have excellent results, the key to good results is the physician performing the procedure, the laser itself. My original procedures was perform on my flanks/back and upper arms.

He (the original doctor that performed the procedure) literally took a chunk out of my arm, leaving an enormous scar. It turns out he had very little training in this procedure and purchased the laser from the manufacturer without prior experience. It has taken almost one year and over $20,000 to correct and I am not done yet.

My advise is if you are considering going forward with this procedure, see actual patients he has performed the surgery on and most of all talk to some of those patients.

Hello! Why your arm looks a lot like my legs. Would you mind forwarding the information regarding who out there is willing to help and where you gone that has been successful? My legs have chunks going down from the outer thigh all the way down to the muscle and to the knee. I commend you for having the courage to seek out someone else for correction. I keep looking and hoping and never seem to get the courage to say - Yep! I am confident that this one is the one. Plus I do not have that kind of money.
