Can I Preview Slim Lipo Results?
About 99% sure I'm going to get SlimLipo done to about 4 areas at once (Abs, flanks, thighs and buttocks). I am opting for general anesthesia because I am an extremely anxious person. However, I am nervous if the money will be well spent. I met with my plastic surgeon who is well-known for his excellent work, and he assurred me I'd be pleased. I was wondering, is it possible to know approximately how many inches I'll lose? Do doctors use a software for manipulating before and after photos to show me what I'll look like after this procedure?

Be sure your doctor is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

Also, if you are having so many areas does...
