You guys are freaking me out. I had smart lipo on my abs love handles and under my chin 3 days ago. I'm 35 years old and I wasnt big to begin with a size 6, 5'8 and 129, but my figure wasnt the same after my kids. I only had a very small amount under my chin and did it as a preventative, this is the part Im most worried about wrinkling and getting lumpy as you are saying. That would SUCK on top of everything else I went though. If I don't at least get good results I will be pretty frustrated. I am VERY bruised it looks like someone tried to strangle me. Of course my stomach is as well but I can hide that. I really hope it doesntlook saggy and uneven in the future! I decided to write and just let everyone know this procedure can be a bit dangerous despite everything I had read before so you could all be aware.

I have a very high pain tolerance (he said the highest he had ever seen and I've been told this before) so the doctor said he was going to do a bit more on me than he normally does because I was so "well behaved". The surgery itself was easy and went as I expected. I was a little tired when I got home so I took a nap and then decided to get up and clean the house and make myself a cup of hot tea. As I was walking across the living room I got that feeling that I have gotten before I pass out where the blood leaves my arms, so I sat down on the couch and told my husband I didn't feel well. The last thing I remember was him getting up. He said he went to get a glass of water for me and when he looked over at me on the couch I was passed out and I was blue/white and I was making funny noises. Apparently I had stopped breathing so he called 911 and was going to do CPR but when he sat me up to move me down I took a breath and thats when I remember him saying "stay with me" over and over. I had a hard time not passing out again but he was so afraid it made me try harder, but for some reason when he tried to lean me back again I started going out again. Anyway when the fire truck and ambulance and all sort of folks came none could get any blood pressure reading on me, they carted me to the hospital and gave me an IV . After that I was fine. They said they couldnt find anything wrong with me, so I dont know what happened. I guess my body just didnt like it. Overall it was embarrassing and my husband and kids are still freaked out. For my part, I still want to get my thighs done! hehehe, but I'm not sure thats the best idea.... I fell pretty let down because Im not sure I would have paid that much for just one or two areas but knowing I could get all additional areas done after that and if I didnt like it alter a little here and there was what made it worht it for me. Im sure my body is just weird and this is not normally for most people, gggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. My blood pressure is pretty low. Knowing what I know now I think I should have had an IV putting fluids back in me. If you have low blood pressure think seriously about asking for this and dont be alone afterwards for at least 24 hours. I really dont think I would be alive today if my husband wasnt right there.
