Ouch Betty! I did NOT get anything done on the double chin :)
My reasoning behind this was to remove all the fat deposits on my waist so that I can start working out again, and the fat that I do burn now will be from other non-troublesome areas.
They aren't scars. They are marks from the compression garmet that's all.
The pads taped to me are maxi-pads that the doctor used to cover the port holes until the drainage is done. They were off within 24 hours.
You have a lot of drainage the first 24 hours. It looks like blood but it's really mostly the lidacaine with a red tint from the blood in the body.
It looks alot worse than it is.
I am very anxious about the results. It has been a week now and although I can tell a huge difference, I can't wait for the final result. I understand that it takes 1-2 months for the final results to kick in.
I had a couple pictures that didn't save for some reason. One was really nice; a picture of the doctor holding the laser wand with the tip lit. It looked like something right out of Harry Potter.
I will take some pictures this weekend being the one week part and let everyone see how it's going.

Where are you getting this information about the fat particles? I searched through a handful of pages on Google and couldn't find anything about it.
Mich34 - How much was taken out, do you know?
My procedure was pretty extreme. I had 3000cc taken out, at least 2000cc of that was pure fat. I had extreme love handles and a big ol' pooch belly. I noticed a difference immediately but I am not even on week one yet.
Throw some pictures up of your before and progression. It helps yourself to judge your results.
