I had smart lipo 10 days ago. I had abs, hips, back, outter thighs. I was given local anesthesia and don't remember a thing. I was sore but went to the doctor the next morning. I was walking and sitting although a little slower. My rib cage area ached the most. No one could tell unless by the way I was walking gingerly. I went shopping the third day and began doing the eliptical in the gym on the 4th day. This being my 10th day, I am doing 60% of my normal gym work out. I am still swollen in some areas, only bruise left is on my left thigh. I still have pain in my rib care area but it is manageable. I plan to golf next week. It was worth it.
