“Lower Abs & Flanks to Be Done Today - Alexandria, VA”

Worth It
Spent: $2,600 in Alexandria, Virginia

Posted 8 Feb 2012

I'm 26 years old and a mother of 1. I've always had a really WIDE waist and no hips giving me a straight silhouette. I finally decided to do something about my wide waist that no amount of oblique exercises would tame. Today I go for my procedure at 10:00 AM. I've attached my before pictures! I'll be sure to update~!



Updated on 12 Feb 2012:
4 Days post... I'm still a bit swollen and bruised. I'm really happy with my results and my stomach is CRAZY flat. Since my procedure on Wednesday, 4 of my friends have made appointments. I got 2 areas and a compression garment for $2600. His prices are 1 area 1500, 2 areas 2500, 3 areas 3000. Each section of the abs are considered a section. I can't wait for my end results. I was told I could start Cardio next week at about 10 days, and ab work in about a month. Now that my waist is smaller I really want the definition and tighter skin that comes with working out so that'll be my next phase! I'll update again in about a month~!

Question... was the procedure painful??
Future SlimLipoista 13 Feb 2012
On a pain scale, it never went above a 4. You do feel the cannula and laser moving around inside you which is kind of weird and you're kinda of braced for the pain but it didn't come. The painful parts for me was when he'd get close to my bellybutton that was painful. And for my flanks he hit them from the front and the back laying down which wasn't painful but at the end he had me stand up so he could look at it and he hit the flanks while I was standing up and that hurt. But none of the pain was unbearable.
Tiffany in Atlanta 13 Feb 2012
Thank you so much for answering my questions. I just really love what he's done for you. We have very similar body types (prior to the procedure). Does he contour what you have to give you that hour glass shape, because i've looked at surgeons here in atlanta but their before and after pics shows where the waist/stomach looks slimmer but it doesn't have that hour glass shape that you now have. Also, do you know if the results are permenant? I tried calling today to schedule an appointment but i couldn't get through to anyone, but i will be calling back tomorrow.
Future SlimLipoista 14 Feb 2012
Before we started the procedure when he was marking me up he asked me what my biggest concern was & I told him I wanted a really contoured waist. That may be why he hit the flanks both standing up & lying down. The results are permanent because the fat cells in the area have been destroyed. Only with unhealthy living/eating will they grow back. He switches offices based on the days of the week which could be why you didn't reach him. Check the website anericanlipoCenters.com. They have contact info on there. GL!
Tiffany in Atlanta 15 Feb 2012
Thank you again for responding to my message. I contacted the office today and scheduled a consult/procedure for March 15th! I'm so excited!! His staff sent me an email with a blog to someone who had the work done that works in his office and she looks great too! I'm nervous based on some of the things I've read but I'm so anxious so it doesn't matter lol ... Thanks for everything!

I know u said the fat doesnt grow back & I'll stay on my diet routine w/ a good workout as well but do want more kids, maybe in 2yrs but really would like this surgery as well..Would my body go back to the small frame from surgery or will i get like I was before surgery?..

Hi Tiffany you might want to check out Dr.Boutte from premiere dermatology she has 2 locations in Atlanta. I saw her before and after pics and knew I wanted her. I did my consult over the phone because I live in NC and after talking to her I knew also.I have mine done Feb.24th.I found her on Real Self also. Good look with whoever you find!!
Mscokebottle 13 Feb 2012
And Future Slimlipoista you look great!
nycapples1 15 Feb 2012
hey, i was wondering how much cc of fat was taken out and what are your before and after measurments if available.
Future SlimLipoista 16 Feb 2012
I do not know how much fat was taken out. I didn't ask. I was more concerned with my shape than the actual number of CCs.

Pre Measurements: 36D-31-44
Post Measurements: 36D-29-44

Hope this helps!
nycapples1 16 Feb 2012
oh ok thanks and once again you look great!

:-) Thanks!

I just tried to look up hat doctor...if those are his prices, I will definitely go! One online review said his price for abdominal lipo would be 4,200? Any thoughts?
Future SlimLipoista 17 Feb 2012
the website is americanlipocenters.com. Last week his prices were 1 area 1500, 2 areas 2500 and 3 areas 3000 with Upper, Lower, and Flanks each considered an area. He does run various specials. I caught it when he was offering 50% off which is why I hopped on that special quick because I hadn't found a doctor that matched his prices or quality.
jmil 17 Feb 2012
i just got an email from them, thanks :)
how did y'all finance that? savings or with the carecredit option? i know i dont have that money as a lump sump but heard the approval rate for the credit is pretty low...
Future SlimLipoista 17 Feb 2012
I paid cash for it though I do know they offer financing.
