When soldier Anthony Rumore returned from overseas, he was dismayed to find he had put on more than a few pounds. “I went from having a very desirable physique with chiseled abs and chest to being overweight,” he says. “That was quite depressing for me.”

Anthony tried exercise, dieting and supplements, but nothing worked. Then he found Dr. Todd Malan and SmartLipo. The only concern he had was the recovery time. “Being that I was in the military, I couldn’t afford to have any limitations,” says Anthony. “They needed to know that I could perform.” Thankfully, Anthony’s recovery time was minimal and he was back on his feet within two days. “Seeing my abs again in such a short time—I did not think it would be so quick,” he says.

Of course, being in the military brought him a little trepidation. “I was not sure what the military’s reaction would be, you know, being manly men. It was amazing how many people were interested and accepting of it,” he says. “Guys that were trying to lose weight for years wanted to know—they had been trying to pass their physical fitness tests, so more of them wanted to see the results than frown upon it.” Now Anthony has a renewed sense of confidence when he dons his uniform. “Being a working professional I feel invigorated,” he says.
