This procedure was a cake walk. I first went with a friend and watched {doctor's name is located above this review} perform the procedure on her abdominals and also asked many questions. My doctor was extremely informative and up front. If you are looking for a miracle then this isn't the procedure for you. You must remain realistic. I couldn't be happier with the results so far and I know it will only get better as the healing process progresses. The pain was minimal...only a happy pill to relax and then it was baby needles to numb up before the small incisions. I was relaxed during the entire process. I could feel the pressure of things moving around but honestly no pain. The beauty of being awake is that if the doctor gets too close to the edge of where you are numbed at you can tell them. Then they can numb you more if necessary. None of the worries of going under as you can be in on it and participate. I think that is one of the best parts. I am stoked at the how precise the procedure was. You must find a doctor who will take their time with this. The compression garment was the most uncomfortable part of the whole thing though necessary. I am bruised but that is to be expected as with any cosmetic procedure. And they are already subsiding.I already see the difference as does my husband and friends. I would recommended this procedure as long as you do your research and remain realistic. I am a former fitness professional and I know there are some things that are genetic, for me it's my saddle bags and I could not be happier with my doctor and my results thus far.

This is a follow up to my initial comments.....I am even HAPPIER now. I am so pleased. I look better in my jeans, have more confidence and even am wearing shorter shorts than I have in the past 2 summers and I am 48!! All the bruising is gone, there is a little residual pain at the incison points but nothing to write home about. I know they still need to heal a bit more. My skin has tightened up. I have had cellulite patches that had been there for years. They have truely tightened up and are smoother. Even though {doctor's name located above the review} told me not to count on that...it worked for me! I would recommended this procedure to my friends and family, and even those of you who I don't know. Again...do your research, have a consultation, be realistic, find a Dr. such as mine who takes their time and has complete pride and confidence in their work.

Hi,
I like your review and you seem genuine. I would like to use you doctor if he does not mind. Would it be too much to ask for his information? I want to do my saddlebags too
