I have finally found time to give feedback on my SmartLipo!

My story is a success and feel that before you decide to go under the knife, try SmartLipo first. The results are not instant but they will definitely show after two months. They say after four months, but I have already seen a major difference and of course seen it in my clothes. I had inner and outer thighs and my arms done and SmartLipo is the secret to body sculpting.

There honestly wasn't any pain in the process, it was just uncomfortable. To relax before the procedure I took an Alzam (for anxiety) and it did help.

You cannot believe how much fat can come out of you in the form of liquid. That's wht the laser basically does, it blasts your fat cells which then turn into liquid and is sucked through a pipe into a see through container which is brilliant as you can see that the procedure has worked when you look at the butter-like substance. I suggest that you do this only once Dr Irvine and her assistant are finished with the Laser Lipolysis (SmartLipo)!

I had some bruising, which is normal, and that night there was still some liquid coming out, you then just change your dressing. The incisions are tiny, hardly noticable. The most amazing thing is that your body gets rid of the liquid fat days afterwards, you feel like a fluttering sensation, that's the fat cells still popping! Your bowel movements certainly do increase! So it cannot be that bad if I went back for my tummy and upper back! Yip, that's right, and I am also happy with the results.

You must just wear the garments that are given to you or what Dr Irvine suggests you wear. Also please remember to exercise (only for the required period) and to eat correctly. It doesn't mean now you can binge everyday. Once a week is sufficient!

So come on, make that so wanted appointment for the whole procedure to be explained and for all your questions to be answered.

It has made all the difference to my body.

Good Luck!

I discovered Smart-Lipo while searching the internet for ideas to get rid of areas that neither dieting or any form of training would get rid of. The thought of Liposuction was just not convincing enough for me.

It was then that I went to see Dr Irvine.

I am not an overweight person, just a woman with stubborn fatty areas, and Dr Irvine had the solution - SmartLipo.

I went in the morning, had the procedure done and left at 12:00 to go home, and I drove myself. It was not painful and the bruising was minimal.

The 2nd best thing about it is the recovery period and after a few days all the swelling was gone (which was minimal) and luckily only 2 weeks of wearing tight pants.

The No.1 best thing about SmartLipo, I discovered on my follow up visit, and saw how many centimetres I lost. I lost about 4cm per thigh, as the procedure was done on my inner and outer thighs.

Dr Irvine and her team are very professional and Dr Irvine must be the most caring doctor I have met in a long time, and I am already considering my next procedure, and would recommend it to all.

Hi Dr Irvine

This coming Friday it will be three weeks after the treatment. You most probably won't forget me as soon as I am sure I was you and your colleagues entertainment during the procedure. Thank you for your "kannieworrypilletjies" they have done the job and the pain is almost forgotten.

Just to let you know I feel fine, still a bit bruised, swollen and sore but what does one expect as they say no pain, no gain.

So where shall we start?

The Outer Thighs - I can definitely see a difference it is still bruised and swollen and I am sure within a few months I will be ecstatic about my smaller hips. I cannot lie therefore will tell the truth, I felt this part (local anaesthetic) was more intense than any other part and the pain of this is still fresh in my memory!!

The Inner Thighs - also have noticed a difference immediately but the skin has not yet firm and tighten.

Knees - Again I can see a difference but not as much yet. Not swollen or any bruising.

Top Middle - still tender and can't see the results here yet. Was also very painfull.

Arms - My bingo wings are definitely smaller and the thing I have really noticed ALL MY CELLULITE IS GONE on the back of my arms which makes me happiest cause I can start wearing sleeveless tops again. Yeaahaaa!!

Chin - Also saw a difference but waiting anxiously for the final results.

It is much cheaper & quicker than liposuction and the pain afterwards is much less than lipo.

I want to thank you and congratulations, I think you have done a great job and I am very pleased with your work. I am sure I will be very happy with the final results. I will definitely be back for more treatment next year.

I have noticed that there are a few "loose" lumps here and there but I am sure they will be gone within the next 4 months. Overall my skin has not yet firmed and tightened yet but I am sure it will soon. I will be taking photos this weekend and email to you for your portfolio.

Dear Dr Irvine and Sr Moore

Well, its been just 48 hours since my SmartLipo and although you said I shouldn't expect results before four weeks, I can already see significant results!

The procedure was TOTALLY painless. I was so surprised at how simple the entire procedure was ... I actually enjoyed the morning! That afternoon I spent runnning around after kids and was back at work the next day.

I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who is a suitable candidate. The results are certainly worth the investment. I would do it again anyday!

I am a male in my mid thirties. I have always been in relative good shape, and the only issue I had with my body was the fat layer around the belly button area. Although I never had a beer belly this particular part of my stomach looked out of proportion. I have tried almost everything to get rid of this, severe dieting and exercise only reduced the size of the area, but the proportions still stayed the same.

I then decided to have liposuction, and went to a cosmetic surgeon, to find out if this is a good idea. I was told that my problem is genetic and that liposuction is the best solution. I was shown before and after photographs and was impressed by the results, except for the scarring where the incisions were made to perform the procedure. Although the results were fantastic, these scars never really disappear and are clearly visible for up to a year. Because most conventional liposuction is done under general anaesthesia, you have to take some time of work, and need a few days to recover after the procedure. The cost for this operation would have been in the area of about R29 000.

After further investigation I stumbled upon a procedure called laserlipo or smartlipo. And after my consultation with Dr Jennifer Irvine decided that I will go ahead with this procedure, instead of conventional lipo suction. The procedure was performed on 15 April 2008.

For me the advantages were quite substantial over conventional lipo suction. My number one consideration was the scarring, which is almost invisible with laser lipo. I have 4 tiny scars in my belly button which is already almost totally invisible and two tiny scars on the side of my buttocks which at the moment look like small pimples.

The procedure itself was also much less intense I would imagine than conventional lipo suction. For one because this is a local anaesthetic procedure I could drive myself two and from the premises with my own car without any problems. I was also able to finish some more work in the afternoon after the procedure. Everything was back to normal the following day.

The only discomfort of the procedure was experienced with the compression bandage, which must be worn for 2 weeks after the procedure but removing it for 15 minutes or so took care of the discomfort and it could be worn for a few hours again.

My results after one month of the procedure are even better than I expected. All in all I can definitely recommend this procedure to any one who has a stubborn area that will not go away with exercise or diet. This is also suitable for people that cannot take off too much time from work.
