A Better Version of Me - Stony Brook, NY

WORTH IT$8,000
On April 3rd i had 4D Vaser Lipo, abdominoplasty and buttock injections and I am so happy with my results!!!! This is the best decision I've ever made. I basically looked as straight as a board with stretch marks, excess skin from having children, surgery scars etc. oh yeah and not but! Dr Mark Epstein has changed me for the better and it's only 3 weeks post -op. My body looks better than I did when I was 18! Using the 4D Vaser Lipo, I have hips, yes everyone, I said I have hips, curves and a very cute bootie. The contouring is amazing. Since we used 4D Vaser lipo, there was basically NO bruising! Yes I was and still am a little soar but I have would do it again in a heartbeat. This is a game changer, a life changer and i am a better version of me.

The truth - I had a belt that I couldn't close it on the last knotch, now it's loose on the first knotch. How crazy is that?

Did u have a soft pad around your commode? My PS said I could sit to go to bathroom. But, I wouldn't want to mess the fat injections up!

I read where 1 girl said when she slept on her side all her fat injected shifted and she had to have a revision! Lol! I've asked about that and dr said that was either an inexperienced DR & they've never heard of that before

Congrats! I am curious if you had drains with the tummy tuck. I was researching TT and saw that dr. Epstein does a drainless TT. Just curious if you did that one and how it was? Also, if you don't mind me asking... I'm curious how much just the TT was? Thanks so much and enjoy your great results!!

I did have two drains, one on the hip and one in the lower back. Dr Epstein used them bc i had TT , alot of 4D lipo and butt injections. There was alot going on during the surgery. He said bc of all the work it would be best and safer to have them. THey were the hardest part of my recovery. Over all I feel great , 4 wks tomo. Dr Epstein's doesnt use them in his regular TT. And i think a TT with all other fees is around 8000. dont hold me to that #. :) Good luck I will be posting pic s tomo
