  • Posted to Bad, Bad, Bad ... Unevenness, Sagging, Scarring, Etc - Cherry Hill, NJ on 29 Oct 2012

    Don't know if you've had revision done but I've had many successful procedures with Dr. Victoria Falcone (in NJ & Phila) my sister also has had many procedures with her. I've also used Dr. Glat (who happens to be the Chief Of Plastic Surgery at St. Chris. Hop. In Phila.) Just a suggestion. Wish you the best.

  • Posted to Surprisingly Pleased!! 2 Wks Post Op & Amazing Results - Philadelphia, PA on 4 Sep 2012

    11 mons post-op (abdomen slim lipo) and I'm ready to do it again ~ now my flanks!! I def protect my investment by watching what I eat but I'm still getting "wow, how much weight did you lose?" and the truth is not much, maybe 13 lbs but it's distributed evenly now :)
    My advice is "keep your expectations realistic" and you must "protect your investment by working out; watching what you eat"
    BOTTOM LINE!! Lipo is a kick-start not a miracle!!

    I'm not sure what the difference is between lipotherme & slim lipo, but 1 week out it's unusual to have the results that I did. I know several others who had slim lipo & they didn't see results for months. So, I'd suggest to keep wearing compression garments as long as you can & watch what you eat (protect your investment)!! I recently had slim lipo on my neck & arms (3 wks post op) and see results in my neck but not arms & am told that's typical!! Good luck & you must watch what you eat or it will all be for nothing! I'm down 2 pant sizes & am very happy with my results, hope you wind up the same!!

    No retaining water...the first couple days swelling but never water weight gain. I had a general anesthetic and with a local you may have water retention? I'd ask your doctor. Good Luck.

    I'm just about 6 mons post op & down 2 pants sizes & still VERY HAPPY & would do it again tomorrow :)
