WORTH IT$12,200
I had a vbeam treatment today and will post a pic so you can see what the skin looks like after this type of treatment. I don't see much change and my DR.doesn't understand why the results aren't better but they want me to keep having the treatments and they feel that the scar will improve,I will compare the scar in a few days to see if there's any noticable change.

Gracey, I was on one literally my dr is a hour and 1/2 away and all three lanes on the interstate are closed i will be so glad when he gets in his new office he will only be about 45 min away i didn't see him today he wants me to continue these treatments i go back in four weeks and we will talk about when he will fix these things my bellybutton pops out like the thanks giving turkey he's not happy with that and i'm certainly not and i'm afraid of having corrections on that but i don't want to go around poppy off literally....ha how's the old coountry song go?.. we're gonna hold on... this to shall pass!

Hi, How are you doing? I'm getting ready and I'm so terrified I didn't think I would feel this way..Are you happy with your results? Has it taken you a long time to recover?

Hey there Brooklyn340,
I'm doing good! yes I'm happy that i had it done I'm still having some small problems with uneven lipo and my scar and bellybutton nothing really serious just kind of time consuming but I'm thankful to have a DR. that wants great results after all we are all walking billboards for these dr's.
I know how nervous you must be it totally consumed my mind before my surgery and like you the being put to sleep thing is hard for everyone...I felt much better once I met the anestiologist not sure about spelling.she was very professional and had lots of experience so I just told myself she does this alll the time and i will come out of this like everyone else and refused to think about it after that ooooh and I said a little prayer too:-)
what cc did you decide on and are you doing saline or silicone?
do you know ayone that has used your dr?
being on this site helped me with my nerves knowing these girls have actually been there and done that helped me alot...hope it will you !!

Scar looks good. And it's nice and low. Do you go back again? Exactly what does the vbeam do? Fade the color? Smooth the bumps?

Saw the DR. today and we are going to do some touch up work on the flank area and my lt side where the lipo isn't even he's happy with the changes in my scar and he wants me to continue with the vbeam treatments. He's puzzled as to why my breast scars are fading so well and my tummy and bellybutton aren't they questioned me as if i had been in the sun and i'm pale as a ghost and i haven't been in the sun, will continue having the laser treatments and hopefully the end result will be good.

Baby Blues, I saw my DR.today and he said he still wants to wait another six weeks mine looks much better but there's still a little place in the middle of the scar and i'm going to have to have some touch up on the lipo i have a place on my lt hip and my flanks are still big we will probably do it in 6 weeks i don't have to pay anything for his fee but i will have to pay 500 for the anestesia and my garmet i'm thinking about haaving him look at my innerthighs they didn't seem big before but now that i've had the outter done they seem a little big on the inside it will depend on what he says neither one of us said anything about it when we did the other if it's very much at all i won't do it i feel like i've put a fortune in this already....he also said to wear a bra that lifted from the top not a sportsbra i just bought some of the ahh bras and i love them but he said they were'nt supportive enough i bought the playtex 18 hours and they are supportive but my breasts come out to a point so the journey for bras continues....he said i would need several vbeam treatments after i had that they told me to wear surgical tape maybe if yours doesn't go down your DR.could try vbeaam on your scar remember it was 8 weeks before mine looked better you will know something soon..got your private email will get back when i can have a good weekend:-)

I am surprised you need more done on your lipo. I didn't think your legs looked bad but you kind of have them crossed. i think you look sexy in those pink panties. I don't know if I could bring myself to do lipo again. All the swelling and I still ache in that area Feb 8th will be exactly two months. It is good he isn't charging you for the extra. He is probably keeping up with your post and is afraid to charge you.
He keeps telling me like 6 months for healing but Monday I will talk to him about it again. I honestly am very happy with everything though. My waist is much tinier and my boobs are much larger :) Hopefully it will go on it's own.
Hope I answered the email in a way that helps.

Hey Big Bumper: So glad your PS is willing to work with you to make sure you have a great result. Wonder why he wants to wait 6 more weeks? Doesn't he realize that we did this in the winter so we can enjoy having "hot" bods this summer? This all takes so much time and money, we need the result to be very good. My PS is going to help me make a decision about what we need to do next the first of March. That will be 12 weeks PO for me. I was told that it will not cost me any additional money.

Gracey, I know about the time thing I said the exact thing to him today it will put us into spring he said i should only be sore for about 5 days I wish he would just go ahead and do it but he says with smartlipo the results can change up to about 6 months I was hoping it wouldn't cost any more too but I do understand about the meds oooo well i just want to finish this thing and he told me he just wants me to be happy and i'm not happy with my flank area and i'm not sure about the upper tummy daffy said her dr. said the same thing you have to have enough excess skin to stand up.. i ask christina if she had to pay any thing for her revision but haven't heard anything yet

Hello Ladies, I wanted to share these new pics and update my opinion about my momymakeover. I haven't felt like I could say for sure if I would do it again, my DR.is still trying to give it some time before deciding if we need to do some touch ups. I haven't gotten the results I was expecting,I know now that one can't expect things to be perfect but I do feel like I look better and I would do it again

GIRL...you look freakin awesome!!! WOW! I see a big difference from last time. This whole time you were thinking you didnt look good...what were you smoking? You look amazing. When you are turned sideways, I think your flanks are flat..they look good. Are you talking about when you are facing forward? If you are talking about that, I think you are seeing your curves. You have that sexy little line running on your upper abs, girl, you got ab definition.

I totally agree with Jen! that was my first thought of how hot you looked! What a difference. I think it is just a slow going recovery for you scar wise, but the results are totally amazing!

I don't know if I told you but I had my surgery done at a medical school, maybe that is why they are able to do a revision without charging me. My surgery was done by the Professor over the Resident program.
