  • 27 Mar 2011

My immediate concern is that I am hyper allergic to so many medications---and I have a very low pain threshold. I also suffer from ulcerative colitis so I was worried about any potential complications from the procedure.

Truly, honestly, I had no problems w/ the procedure, overall experience and the before and after photos I posted really do not do justice w/ how I look in person. I'm currently on steroids for UC so will look better in the near future.

Great review?

Excellent staff, service and definitely worth the expense. Life is short. Enjoy it. Dr. B is a consummate professional who delivers on his honest assessment of what can be realistically done. I was more than impressed and pleased w. the results. I highly recommend Dr. B and would DEFINITELY go back to him if & when I would like additional work. To me, he is part genius & part magician. I totally trust his work and would never see anyone else for a similar procedure.

What is your doctors name? And did you have Tumescent lipo?

Freaking awesome after shots. Your doctor did a great job. You looked like you had a good deal of fat prior. I'm surprised at how well it turned out. It's as if you had a tummy tuck.

Please see the post above in my reply to BooTay. I truly did see results immediately. I would do it all over again. I am thinking of doing my inner thighs next yr. The best thing was looking slim in slacks and not having to hide my tummy area. Embarrassed to say I've been asked if I was pregnant twice when I wasn't...I've gained some weight, mostly bloating and "moon face" because of steroids but my tummy doesn't look bloated or preggers. Hope this helps.

It's hard to remember exactly...I would say 6-8 weeks; however, I did see results immediately. I may be unusual but I did not swell that much. Even though I was a bit swollen at first, it was obvious I had "lost" a lot of weight fast. It was very weird the results were immediate. I would not believe had it not happen to me.

you are so lucky.
i just had laser lipo on chest and belly 8 days ago, and i barely see anything on my chest, and the belly is completely the same

Wow, I am so sorry as I know the procedure is expensive. I wore the compression garment religiously and I always drink lots of water daily. Don't know if that has anything to do w. it. Maybe you will get great results after a while. Everyone is different. The odd thing is I'm not a healer so I was surprised how quickly I bounced back. If you're not happy or have concerned after reasonable time, see your doctor. I don't know who you saw but I totally recommend mine. Best of luck, don't give up and I'm sure you'll be pleased with your results. Stay strong!

Welcome to RealSelf, Barbara, and thanks for sharing your story. Your pics look incredible - what a great result! You look fabulous. :)

Thank you. I feel great! The cool and odd thing is while I'm on steroids for ulcerative colitis (not cool) and have gained some weight (it's temporary-almost off steroids) the weight I did gain did not go to my tummy area (thank god!), it went to my butt. Which is GREAT as I never had a butt. Who would have thunk it. Don't get me wrong, I'm anxious to lose the weight so I can get back into my new clothes...just thought it's nice to have a butt and not always look 3 mos pregnant as my fat was always tummy centered.
