More and more of the Lipo community are traveling for surgery and have started asking about travel buddies. It's great to share the costs of travel and hotels, as well as having the support of someone else going through the same experience.Just leave a note with information, such as: Your doctor Your dates Location of your...
Last year I got lipo done on my abdomen (belly) and cankles. I think the fat is all coming back ALREADY!! Did anyone else who's had lipo get this quick weight gain in the treated areas? maybe my body wants to store fat, like it or not, in my ankles and abs. Frustrated in Florida (female, 29, 1 child)

Is there any class action law suits out there regarding Lipo zap?
Hi All I'm planning to have liposuction done on my stomuch area. I have been to see a few different clinics here in the UK, but I am now thinking of going abroad. A friend of mine directed me to the Wellness Kliniek in Belgium, problem is she's never used it, she just saw an offer their currently running. Has any one had liposuction done there recently? or could some one recommend a good c...
Hi! Besides this RealSelf site, how do you ladies (and gents) do your research before deciding on which procedures to do? Do you mostly read what the doctors say, or look at the reviews (the bad and the good) from people who have already had surgery? It's seems like there's so much conflicting information, how do you know what to believe? Do you look up statistics? How do you know when to move...
I had a botched lipo about 8 years ago, I was just 18 yo, skinny 1m74 120lbs super smooth no cellulite and very ignorant. I wasn't aware of the risk for lumps, dents and bumps and thought this was an easy way to get rid of the very tiny bit of fat on my thigh. I chose the wrong doctor (a normal person would have send me away at that age with that body). I have very bad irregularities on my t...
I am considering Dr. Miles at Adora Clinic in Palm Harbor and I haven't been able to find any reviews for him and only 1 for the entire Adora Clinic. There are actually 3 offices in the Tampa Bay area. Is this a gooD sign indicating that people are overall pleased?

What do you think about the new machine, Lapex 2000? Does it work? They claim it reduces fat without any surgery. I'm thinking about doing it, but it hasn't been out long enough for me to find a lot of testimonials.
I read about the beautiful Christie Brinkley (52 yrs old!) being really strict about food. Eats frozen grapes for snacks, drinks vanilla soy. She must be miserable. I can’t imagine such a radical change in my diet to get my stomach flattened. I do watch I eat and exercise 4 days a week. I feel like liposuction is cheating, but it would be nice to throw away my control top underwear and not f...
Hi, I just had the new Bodytite procedure on my stomach has anyone else tried this?
Liposuction, aka lipo, is a well-known though often misunderstood procedure. Did you know it’s not a weight loss procedure, and instead you may actually temporarily gain weight from it? Did you know you’ll have to wear a compression garment after surgery, potentially for 2–3 months? We tapped into our community of RealSelf members and doctors to help identify and answer some of the top ques...
