How good is smartlipo for cellulite?

ooch · 07-09-2007, 03:36 PM

Hello,I had regular lipo on innerthighs and the fat is still there,Iwanted it on my whole thigh but the doc said it would never look good after.Now i am 5 4 inch 124 pounds i workout 2 hours a day and had every kind of therapy for cellulite and nothing works! Does anyone relate to this? I was wondering if smartlipo would help ?? I haven't worn shorts since 12 years old because of cellulite on my knees. Doc said lipo don't work on knees.Can anyone help with advise?

ooch,

I've had SmartLipo 2 weeks and 4 days ago,my major complaint was also my knees due to advancing age (55). Not necessarily cellulites but with aging,skin gets loose pulling away from the fat deposits making it look bumpy. Even with swelling,all gone...vanished..

For cellulites,best thing I have seen work was the Zone diet. Friend of mine tried just about every known machines,diets to get rid of her cellulites and 4 months on the Zone diet too care of it. She got off for about a year and it all came back,she's now back on track.

I had smartlipo on my inner & outer thighs 5 days ago thinking it would help my cellulite, I don't see any difference. I've heard that mesotherapy really helps.

Dayami,

Was your SmartLipo with suction or without? Mine was with suction and my results (prior to swelling) were amazing.
5 days is too early to expect any results since swelling sets in.I'd wait at least 4 weeks to see some result and your stage 1 garment will give you a good idea about your result.
Personally,I was ready for stage 2 by the end of the first week.Again,my SmartLipo included suctioning off the fat.

ooch,
I hear you about the knee issue.....Dr.Lopez smartlipoed my whole knee area & even the fat pockets below the knee & happy with the results. As far as cellulite I think it depends on how bad it was to begin with, my case it was pretty bad for my age of 35!! I do see a big difference/change although it didnt all go away but still happy!!

I had smartlipo done on my abs two and half month's ago and I still have lumps, is this normal? I'm begining to worry.

Just had smartlipo of entire knee area with Dr. Lopez. I am only 6 days out and I see a big difference above my knees! It is amazing. The sides of my knees are really swollen and bruised, so I don't know how it is going to look. However I had my inner and outer thighs done also. She didn't take any fat from my thighs, she just ran the laser over them to tighten the skin. I am 37 and I don't work out, but I am a "normal size" for someone 5'7. I totally love it!! My thighs look so smooth. I had dimpling, pocket, pooches and ripples. Now it is just smooootthhh. The skin is getting tighter, but my thighs still move (they just look like they wouldn't) so now I am encouraged to work out so that the inside matches what the outside looks like.

Have you done any massaging of the area? Dr. Schafer recommended that I purchase and use a HoMedics percussion massager. I have been using it since 2 weeks post op with fabulous results.
