It really depends on your market and the expertise of the practice but in Chicago, the typical price in a qualified surgeon's practice is $350-$475 per applicator. However most practices will offer monthly discounts for multiple areas and multiple sessions which could bring the price down significantly. Best of luck on your journey!

SculpSure works very well for the flank area. Patience is key and generally visible results are more evident 6-12 weeks after the second treatment. Best of Luck on your journey!

Thanks for your question. It looks a bit unusual for a SmartLipo incision. It almost appears to be a suture abscess. Did your surgeon use a punch-biopsy technique? Is there an absorbable suture inside the incision that needs to be removed or debrided? You should follow up with your surgeon who is the only one that can answer these....Best of luck on your recovery!

Based on the limited views, you may be a candidate for SmartLipo plus weight loss. However, you should get a thorough evaluation from an experience board-certified surgeon who should assess your overall medical history, your BMI, and your anatomy for diastasis, hernias, skin laxity before making a recommendation. SmartLipo is most ideal for patients who are at or near their ideal body weight and have good muscle and skin integrity. SmartLipo is a sculpting procedure, not a weight loss procedure..... Best of luck on your journey!

There's an old adage that goes, "If the only tool you have is a hammer, then everything looks like a nail...." Most likely your surgeon didn't perform Tummy Tucks, or he would've offered you one. You have skin laxity and significant rectus diastasis that can only be addressed with a full Tummy Tuck (abdominoplasty). When you are prepared to have the issues addressed, you will need to find an expert on abdominoplasties. In the meantime, you should try to get your BMI to 30 or less to minimize risk and optimize your result. Best of Luck on your journey....

Those bands are fairly common after SmartLipo or even traditional lipo under the arms. They are usually temporary and I tell my patients it may take up to 6 months for the tissue to feel back to "normal". If concerned, follow up with your surgeon for re-assurance!

Hello. I agree it seems you should've had more clearance of your tattoo by now with the Picosure, given that it is a black tattoo. Occasionally we do run across highly resistant tattoos that even the Picosure has difficulty with, but it is very rare. I would first start by requesting the laser settings that were used for your treatments to check if they were appropriate. Appropriate settings should've caused the ink to "frost" or turn white, and you should've experienced some blistering and scabbing after the treatment. If you did not experience this, it could mean either the settings were not aggressive enough, or that your tattoo could be encased in scar tissue (either from the tattoo needle or the laser). If that is the case, you may benefit from scar treatments to break up the scar. A serial excision is possible, but in that location, it will likely leave a nasty scar.....

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Truong and his incredible team. From the very beginning, I felt completely taken care of. Dr. Truong is not only highly skilled but also kind, attentive, and truly listened to my goals for my mommy makeover. I felt confident and safe in his care every step of the way. A huge shoutout to Monika, his patient care coordinator—she was absolutely amazing! Her warm, welcoming personality put me at ease right away. She answered all of my questions with so much patience and made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. And my nurse, Lauren—she was a lifesaver! She was so sweet and supportive throughout my recovery, and I loved that I could text her with any concerns. It made such a difference knowing I had someone there for me post-surgery. I’m so happy with my results and incredibly grateful for the care and attention I received. Dr. Truong and his team are the best—I would recommend them a thousand times over!
I had an Aveli treatment at Chicago Breast and Body for mild cellulite three months ago, and I am super happy I did it. I was nervous about the procedure, but Dr.Truong and his staff were informative, friendly, and approachable. The procedure itself wasn’t pain-free, but definitely tolerable. The recovery afterward was really easy. I had the expected bruising for a couple of weeks but zero pain.
This was my second procedure with Dr. T, I had a tummy tuck done 6-7 yrs ago and loved my results. Last spring I decided to go a cheaper route with another surgeon and had an awake bbl/ lipo. I was so disappointed with my results that I felt botched. I decided to go back to Dr. T for a round 2 bbl/ lipo. As usual I am not disappointed, I had my procedure on 9/12, my care didn’t end with there, I’ve had 2 visits with him, he provided tips on how to help my healing process which have worked. His staff have been very respectful and compassionate always making I’m doing well. Dr. T techniques are amazing and he not only allows you to provide input but he also listens to your concerns. If your looking for a surgeon look no further you will definitely going satisfy from the time of you consultation, post care and your results. Updated on 14 Nov 2024: These pics are 24 hrs and 4 weeks post op from lipo/ bbl. I had minimal bruising and at 4 weeks I feel great. I am currently 9 weeks post op and my recovery is going well I can already see my results and I’m loving them.. Updated on 27 Nov 2024: I’m at 10 weeks post- op from round 2 bbl & lipo on arms, abs, back and inner thighs. Feeling great, swelling is minimal. I’m currently down to 1 massage a week. I’m very pleased with my results. My waist is super snatched and I’m loving the volume on my back side. I’m still wearing my compression garment 24/7.
I couldn’t be happier with my results with Dr T! This was my 2nd abdominal revision after a car accident 17 years prior (1st revision surgery was with someone else and was never right). I’m only sad that I didn’t do it sooner!! Results are better than I could have even hoped! I’d highly recommend
I can't thank Dr. T and his staff enough. I am just over 3 months post-op skinny BBL and lipo-360 (thighs included). I am so thrilled with my results. How I feel in my own skin, and in clothes now is no longer something that bothers me...ever. After weightlifting for 12 years, 2-3 times a week (VERY rarely taking more than 7 days off), and realizing that diets were just not going to do the trick for me... I took the plunge. Dr. T did a phenomenal job and his team was there whenever I needed them. I also used his facility for massages. I had roughly 10 massages total. I do not believe I would have recovered as well as I have without that assistance. I am from out of town and initially used a local massage therapist... that ended quickly and I went straight to Dr. T's office. I highly recommend Dr. T and his staff. You will not regret choosing him for your skinny BBL and lipo-360.
Staff was extremely helpful and caring. I had all of my questions answered and felt very taken care of throughout my whole surgical journey. Dr. T listened to my wishes and I love my end results! I highly recommend Dr. T for Lipo360!
I recently underwent a tummy tuck procedure combined with liposuction and fat transfer to my hips and I can't express how thrilled I am with the results! Dr. Truong and his team exhibited the highest level of professionalism and expertise. They took the time to thoroughly explain the entire process, addressing all my questions and concerns. Not only did the surgery target excess fat and skin, but the added fat transfer enhanced other areas of my body, achieving a look that I love. The recovery process was smoother than I expected. The discomfort was minimal, however, everyone manages pain differently. What truly sets this experience apart is the artistry that Dr. Truong's brings to his work. The sculpting of my body reflects a true understanding of aesthetics, and I couldn't be happier with the natural yet transformative outcome. If you're considering a tummy tuck, liposuction, or fat transfer, I would definitely recommend Dr. Anh-Tuan Truong and his team. Their skill, compassion, and dedication to delivering exceptional results make them a great choice. I am beyond grateful!
I had liposuction 360 with mid-definition vaser-liposuction with Dr.Truong and I can’t express how great the entire process was. From the initial consultation with Dr Truong and then meeting with his nurse, all of my questions were answered and I felt comfortable with how personable all of the staff were. The instructions pre and post operatively are very detailed and Dr Truong’s nurse served as a resource for any additional questions via email and text. Prior to the surgical day, the team called and ensured I received all of the information for the day of surgery and also gave me a time to arrive. Upon arriving at the surgical suite in River North, I immediately felt at ease from the front desk staff. The team was very happy to be assisting me and helping calm my nerves. Dr Truong was punctual and professional when he discussed and marked me for the procedure. The anesthesiologist, circulator and scrub tech all maintained professionalism and provided the BEST care. After waking up I recovered for 45mins to an hour and then was discharged home with instructions, medications, and a nurse hotline number to call if I had any questions. My follow up appointment was also scheduled for me a few days post operatively, though they did check on me right after the procedure. I am so happy I went with Dr Truong and his team at Chicago Breast and Body. I know the results can take 6-12 months to finalize, but I am already loving it. So happy I did this!
Doctor Truong is truly an artist. I’m extremely happy with my 4 week post op results on my breast augmentation and lift. I knew I was in amazing hands right away. They offer all of your pre op care right in the clinic, and they make sure the process is as stress free as possible. Nurse Lauren also stayed in contact with me through this whole thing, making sure I was following my post op instructions and just checking up on me In general. Seriously life changing. Ps. My kitten approves of the results as well.
Dr. Truong and his team was so amazing. I’m so happy I picked him to be my surgeon. They made me feel so comfortable from the very beginning until the end. Lauren and Monika was great with answering any questions or concerns I had, no matter the time of day they responded right away. I trusted my surgeon (Dr.T) and he didn’t let me down. Thanks to him I now have the confidence that I was missing. I love my results and couldn’t be more happier. Thanks Dr.T!!!
