dr mancoll smart lipo

WORTH IT$2,999
Well it's been about 2 yrs....I had to go back for a touch up ( not happy with results ) another $1500......and after that I still had problems in the same area, so they suggested another touch up for another $1500....WHAT ?? I am very disappointed with my procedures, I was told " your the perfect candidate " and when I expressed my concerns I was asked " well what do you want" ...In a tone that seemed as if I was crazy ! Sheesh I just wanted these pouches gone and they are not ! So at the least the third one should have been free in my opinion? I mean " The perfect candidate" shouldn't need three or more procedures....I am a business owner and I would never continue to charge for a problem I said I could correct. ..would you? I feel ripped off and unhappy all around...I will post pics soon and you can see for your self

I am sorry to hear that you are not happy with your results. I have not seen you since November of last year, so it is hard for me to know what you are unhappy with. It is always my goal to make sure that my patients are happy and that your goals and my goals are in alignment with what can be achieved. If you would like to come in we could look at what options there are to address your concerns. Just let me know. JSM
Just now reading about your story. How have things change for you. You seem close to an ideal body, per pictures, and i am also considering but reading about yours i'm afraid to make things worst.

Try a menthol/camphor ointment---Watkins brand (doesn't have a super strong smell) worked great for me (Amazon has it for about $8) and my knees/thighs were dark purple. You can also use arnica gel. Walgreens has it.
I was also told I was the perfect candidate for smart lipo. No results ,ripped off of 3200. I went back to see this dr. After the six months and he then told me it was skin. I had a small pouch I wanted to get rid of, he should have told me I had a skin problem in the beginning before he took my money for something I did not need. I was told by a plastic surgeon that I was not a candidate for any type of lipo. I had a skin problem not a fat problem. Sounds like you are in the boat as me. Sorry!
Sorry to hear that you are not completely satisfied with your results. It is always my goal to make sure that patients completely understand the benefits as well as the limitations of a procedure. Smart lipo is a great technique for treating patients who have isolated areas of fat. In addition it does have the potential to tighten skin. The degree in which ones skin will tighten is not controlled by your surgeon or by you. The laser energy is delivered and the tissue respond to whatever degree that it can. I suggest if you are not satisfied with your results then you should come in and discuss it. Let do an exam and see what options if any are available.
great review! I like the second photo, you look perfect to me. Did you have this V cut adonis belt prior to the lipo? or did the surgeon contoured this area? I’m getting mine very soon and any advices would be great ;)
