Smart Lipo: Was not worth it
Cost: $11,000
Pain: Mild
Satisfaction: Poor

I wanted to get the one to two dress size reduction I so often heard in advertisements. I had my chin, my back, my abdomen, my thighs (inner and outer) and knees. I just really wanted to look better especially in my stomach. I am overweight about 15 pounds.
The procedure was fine and the staff were all very nice. The first day after the procedure was painful, but it was not bad overall.
The result was not worth the money. I am so angry at myself for spending so much money. I have since been to a board certified plastic surgeon and have found out I could have had a tummy tuck, liposuction, and liposuction on thighs inner and outer for 10,500.00. I should have gone this route first. I am still paying back the loan I took for the smart lipo and am trying to convince my husband to let me get another loan to do what I should have done to begin with. I know he wants to kill me
The only part that was worth it was my chin. My chin had a small fat pad and it looks a ton better.
I should have not done this, it was not worth it. I would have done the chin again, but I don’t think it is for a large area. My advice is to consult more than one board certified plastic surgeon and don’t try to take the short cut. Go with the major surgery.
