Not Loving the Post Procedure Recovery Period - Clearwater, FL

Thanks. The results were great at first but they didn't last long when they were supposed to be permanent. Like I said in my other post, I have a hard time telling if all of the fat has returned to the treated area or just some. Either way, I spent a lot of money with the thought these results would be permanent and I feel I was ripped off. The lower abdomen is such a difficult area because we ladies store a lot of our fat there. I don't know anyone who has treated their arms but maybe the results are easier to maintain due to the location. Needless to say, after I have babies, tummy tuck it is!

To be completely honest, I couldn't tell you whether all or just some of the fat came back. I have a hard time remembering what I used to look like and pictures don't help. My doctor paid if I gained 6 pounds it would not affect the area. I have lost 7 pounds since my 8 week follow up and there is more fat now in the area I treated. I feel I did not get what I paid for and that makes me the angriest. The only way I feel you can maintain your results is to eat a diet similar to one training for a body building/figure show all the time but not many have the discipline for that.

I will. Thanks :-)

I couldn't bend over either in the beginning. I don't have kids but I felt like I was pregnant. My saving grace was an ice pack. I bought one that I could strap around my waist and wear around the house. When the pain was really bad I would wear it out under a babydoll dress. Buy 2 so you can alternate and you're not uncomfortable while waiting for the first on to freeze up again. This was the only thing that helped me. My doctor prescribed me Neurontin for the tingling, pins and needles and it did absolutely nothing. Compression garments help after the first 2 weeks in my opinion. Everyone is different, this is what helped me and I think I had the worst recovery period by reading the others posts (and if you read mine). Just remember it's only temporary, Hope this helps

Pretty much what ironmaiden301 said. If u read my posts I was about to throw myself out the window but after 2 weeks it was tolerable and 4 months later I can't believe this is an actual procedure
