2 Wks Post-Op Smart Lipo + Bodytight - Dr. Cole / Atlanta Liposuction Specialty Clinic

I am 61 years old and two weeks ago I had SmartLipo of the Upper Abs, Lower Abs, Flanks, & Waist, plus I added Body Tight to tighten the skin.

I did a lot of research before deciding on Dr. Cole at Atlanta Liposuction Specialty Clinic in Norcross, GA. Every cosmetic surgeon has this procedure listed as what they do on their websites, but they also list a ton of other things they do too! How can they be great on all the things they list that they do? It seemed to me, in my opinion that all these other doctors were a little like a "Jack of all Trades and a Master of None". I was looking for the Master and found it in Dr. Cole. SmartLipo is what he does, and he has perfected it. Not only his technique, his professionalism, & his after care, but also his office staff (extra thanks to Clay, Antoinette & Stephanie.) In my consult Dr. Cole didn't try to over-sell me. In fact, he said up front that he likes to "under promise and over deliver results." And that he did. I couldn't be happier with the entire process and I'm only two weeks out and not anywhere near the end results.

The day of surgery I was given meds to relax me and then Dr. Cole marked me up and I was taken to the room to do the procedure. The Doctor came in and gave me a shot in each thigh (Demerol & some anti-nausea medication). I am not a fan of shots at all, but I have to say he even has that down to a perfected skill – I didn’t feel the shot. Then he said he would let the meds take effect and get started. I wish I could tell you more, but I fell asleep. I did talk during the procedure and moved to my sides and to my back, but I have no memory of it at all. My first real memory is when I was getting dressed to go home (putting on the garment.) I slept on the 1-1/2 hour drive home and woke up in the afternoon hungry. I took my pain meds as prescribed for two days and then just needed Tylenol. On day seven I looked on You Tube on how to manually do the lymphatic drainage massage and practiced it 5 or 6 times that day and the next day was like some type of magic had happened. I woke up and my swelling was dramatically reduced, which in turn dramatically increased my comfort! I have to be honest I was sore and swollen until day eight.

Today I went in for my two-week post op and every day it’s getting better.

Bottom line, you wouldn’t take your luxury vehicle over to the general store for repairs, you would take it to the luxury vehicle specialist, so why would you take your body to a “Jack of All Trades?” Do yourself a favor and go to the Master of SmartLipo (Dr. Cole). You deserve it and his prices are in-line with all others that I have done the research on.
