Final thoughts

I was looking back at this surgery and the past year and my conclusion includes the following:

1. Ab etching does not look real. (be very subtle or you will have everyone tell you how unnatural it looks and it did change for me over the course of 6-9 months.
2. For more than half the price I was able to have more areas done and fat removed where it was missed in surgery with "traditional lipo". I personally think smartlipo is better and more exact.
3. Try and keep it as natural as possible. No matter how much you workout, having etched abs does not always mean that it will match the rest of your body.
4. I had cannula burns with my first classic lipo surgery and they did not go away despite revision. I have had much better placed port holes with smartlipo.
5. Ask around and see many doctors. There are many surgeons these days and just because they are the most expensive does not equal the best work.

I must say first of all that the VISAGE team are very responsible and excellent with communications. Dr. Marc is always there to reply and give his honest opinion. From "former" Joyce to present Willians, very kind and quick to reply. At 50yo I understand that only so much can be done to a body and a year later the body settles and changes post-op. I will clearly need a touch-up and to "calm" the lower abs and side rolls. So without further comment I will upload photos.

Feeling great after Dr Marc Dupéré's incredible artistry and aside from a few minor touch ups year end, I can honestly say this surgeon put me on a positive path and made me strive to change my diet and attempt to enhance his work evenmore. I would do it all over again seeing the results 15 weeks post.

Nice staff and very professional. Dr Marc is very nice. Pricing is a lot higher than most PS and after a year, the results were not like the first months post-op. I was lucky to have found another doctor that has been doing smartlipo for years and was very honest on what looked right and matched my age and body. I felt that my second surgeon who corrected Dr. Marc DuPere's missed areas is my surgeon of choice. I didn't appreciate to fill the doctor's schedule I was moved from first appointment to #3 that day and it felt rushed as a flight to Brazil was coming quick. My bad luck. When a surgeon did not give the desired results, they fix their mistakes but with this doctor you will pay to have these mistakes fixed. Run for the door and find a surgeon that will be responsible for a sloppy job. My second surgeon could see the rush job and after surgery could remove the fat missed with Dr. Marc. I am sure there are many wonderful success stories but I didn't plan or want another surgery to correct this one a year later.
