“Lypo of Illiacs, Stomach and Thighs:...”

I just had lypo of the ilia’s, stomach and outer thighs yesterday by Dr. Michael Damen. First off let me say, I am 15-20 lbs. to my goal weight, I work out 3 times a week (kicking and screaming since I don't have the desire to any longer). I slept all afternoon yesterday and last night. The worst so far for me has been the nausea when getting up to use the bathroom. Its morning and I am... more

“After 3 Months Minimal Results - Oak...”

I had liposuction done in the love handle area and lower stomach October 17th 2012 (I am 23 years old, 5'9" and about 155 pounds). I saw major results two days after the surgery yet as of today the love handles came back. I have read I need to wait up to 3 months for major results but the skin that is still swollen is hard. My love handle area is soft as if the swelling is done. I work out 5... more

“Nice Guy - Careless Surgeon -...”

I had lipo with Dr Lu a year ago and found him to be very supportive in the office. However, the results were shocking. At bedside, he seemed hurried and distracted. I suspected that he had more important cases to attend to. Looking in the mirror a year later, I see unnatural contours around the treatment sights and a lack of symmetry overall. I will have to have another procedure from a more... more

“About To Get Water Lipo/Laser Lipo...”

I am a petite woman 5'1" 115lbs however I have an awkward pooch in my lower stomach from a prior 5lb weight gain (Geez talk about not being able to gain an inch huh). I also have an hourglass figure that stores all my fat in the love handles and the lower stomach. For the past 3 years I have been too embarrassed to wear a bikini. The final straw was when I saw photos of myself from vacation... more

“Prior Lipo Realselfers: Are Your...”

I JUST had lipo of the flank/full tummy tuck performed less than a week ago. I have been reading more and more that lipo in some patients is not what they though it would be. That after months or every a couple of years, people are gaining the weight back and not just in the areas but in VERY strange places through-out the body such as arms, breast, even BACK! And this is despite working out... more

“Previous Lipo - Bellwood, IL”

I had Lipo several years ago and the fat has reappeared. Over all I was happy with my results, but now I'm looking to have it again, but want to consider vaser, water Lipo, or what I'm assuming was tradtional Lipo at the time. I say that because I've heard so much about tumescent Lipo (procedure used during Lipo). I really need some help or feedback from those who are of a certain... more

“Big Mistake - Des Plaines, IL”

I had liposuction on my stomach, sides, arms, inner thighs and back of the thigh on one leg. It is an extremely painful recovery and wearing the Spanx drove me crazy but I wore them for 8 weeks after the surgery. This surgery was also a huge waste of money. I am 5'4" and was 125 pounds before surgery. After surgery I dropped five pounds because I was in so much pain, I didn't... more

“Lipo-Ex Side Effects- Hard Bump, Red...”

I have had 3 Lipo-Ex treatments (radio frequency - fat melt) of the abdomen. The first 2 were without pain or side effects. However, the third I had a different technician and felt the procedure was warmer, and rougher. After the 3rd treatment my abs were a little sore, 3 days after the treatment I have noticed a hard bump/lump that is round in the lower part of my stomach just above my... more

“Liposuction then Weight Gain -...”

I had liposuction two years ago this month, on my inner and outer thighs, buttocks, and stomach. Had absolutely phenomenal results -- went from a size 14 down to a 10 in 2 months. Since then I have put on about 30 pounds -- not good, I know, but found it very interesting that I did not put the weight on where I had liposuction. All the new weight went to my chest and stomach, and... more

“Correcting a Botched Liposuction...”

I was not happy with the way my clothes fitted me. I went through a botched liposuction of the flanks procedure by a inexperienced PS, which left uneven results. I was very sceptical and carefully took my time finding a PS to help me for my correction. I had chosen Dr. Ross for the correction and I couldn't have made a wiser decision. It took one procedure and I chose to go a... more

I am an overall slim looking person (skinny arms & legs) and carry any & all my excess weight in my stomach (on my 5'4" thin-boned frame, I gained 25 lbs between the ages of 20 and 30. After 2 years of working with personal trainers, going to Bikram yoga & just being overall healthier than ever, & still not seeing any improvement in my abdomen, I decided to consult my... more

“Lipo - Des Plaines, IL”

As a busy working Mother with a young child I could not get my stomach to go down and flatten pre-baby. It not only worked but was a pleasant all round experience. Not only was Dr. J kind and patient but his staff were wonderful and truly caring. That makes a huge difference when you choose to have surgery and you have that type of support to see you through more

“Best Decision of my (Adult) Life! -...”

Going to the gym everyday, changing my life style and my eating habits was just not enough. Love handles and a spare tire was not what I wanted to carry around on my thin legs and frame anymore. I knew it had to go! I went to wearing babydoll shirts to cover it up to wearing hip hugger jeans and a tank top less than 3 months after my procedure! Size 7 to a size 4 jeans!! Worth it and would do... more

“Liposuction Recovery - Chicago, IL”

I just had liposuction done on the abdomen and flanks 2 days ago. I'm experiencing sweating and feeling hot but I have no fever. Is this normal? more

“Perfect Experience - Skokie”

I chose Dr. T because he was the most qualified specialist in Chicago. I read reviews and heard about Dr. T from some friends that have visited him. I have never heard anything bad about this doctor. On the contrary, all of my friends were ecstatic with their results. This was the best decision I ever made. more

“Breast Reduction and Lipo Have Left...”

I had liposuction on my abs at the same time as a breast reduction. The reduction was needed to reduce back/neck strain and allow me to progress with more physical activity in my weight loss. I added liposuction because I was concerned that my stomach touble spot would really stick out after a breast reduction. I didn't want depression over that to set in while I was happy to get the much... more

“Liposuction Deformed my Body -...”

I went for a lipo... doctor suggested I have my inner and outer thighs lipoed. I was mainly concerned with my stomach and fat accumulated on my back. I had no idea that there could be possibilites of having a deformed body. I had the following areas treated: Inner and outer thighs Stomach and back Calves and Knees After the surgery, I notice that my buttoc more

If you want more details on the awful experience with the specific doctor please email. I will be glad to share the horrible experience if it will save one person. Please trust that everything you are reading in the negative is very true. We did... more

“Liposuction for Problem Areas = Perfect!”

I’ve had a rigorous home exercise routine since my early 20s that has kept my body looking the way I want. Only recently have I had trouble moving some of the extra baggage from my tummy, especially my lower abs (belly button and below). I hadn’t changed my routine and after I started putting on the flab there I started doing even more crunches, but to no avail. I had a breast... more
