The beginning to a new life - so excited about this change

I’ve wanted to have liposuction for about 30 years. After giving birth to my son, I just felt my body was so bad that diet and exercise would do nothing to help me. Trust me I’ve tried and would give up when I didn’t see results. My surgery was yesterday (3/23/23) and I can already tell the difference in my body. I’m wearing my garments and buying more so I can switch them out and use one for the gym. I’m so excited about this change. Pain level is between a 3-5 but nothing serious.

One of the BEST Doctor and Facilities Ive Had to Work with !!!!!!! I was in good hands

I have done a lot of research about the procedure and also researched a lot of doctors in my area that performed this type of procedure. I've came across Dr. Melanie Carreons office and did the same thing that everybody does looked at before and after photos and read reviews and then I ultimately made a consultation with her. The first day I met her and had a consultation with her and Priscilla I was immediately comfortable I had a great experience with them the doctor was very

Trust the Process. 4 Week Update

Wow. I won’t say this process was painless. The first 2 weeks I was miserable. I was extremely swollen and wondered why I even did it. Week 2 I was extremely depressed. All I can say is, thanks to a reviewer here and her guidance I stuck with my massages, eating well, working out when I felt up to it, and wearing my faja. 4 weeks in, wow. I can’t be more happier with my results. The pictures say everything. I had had 2 kids and after kid 2, no matter how much I worked out, I couldn’t

I am impressed!

I am 2 weeks in and seeing a transition of my before and after results! I am impressed! I am Still a little swollen but that is to be expected. The spa was such a wonderful experience from the minute I arrived to the minute I left. The staff is very accommodating and the doctor is warm and welcoming. I had my upper and lower abs, waist, hips, pubic area and bra roll. I think the most unpleasant feeling after was my back, it was so sensitive. I only leaked for one day and just

4 weeks out and I love the new me

So let me start off by saying I'm 5'6" and at the time of my procedure, weighed 203 lbs. I consulted with Dr Carreon and decided to get upper abs, lower abs, love handles, pubis, waist and bra line.The day of the procedure, I barely remember a thing. I was well sedated and remember very little of the procedure. I remember my abdomen and back feeling very heavy. Dr Carreon and staff were amazing and I left feeling as if I was well educated on exactly what to expect.It took some

3 Weeks In & Loving It

So I’m three weeks post Smart Lipo and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The doctor mentions that you should go in with the menatlity/idea that you should expect at least 50% resulys but it definitely feels/looks closer to 70-80%. If you can be happy with that type if results then definitely DO IT. Initially I was skeptical as to how much the doctor could do with a males body but she definitely targeted those areas that were of high concern for me and she did them SO WELL. A

Great Experience with Dr. Carreon & Staff -

Initial meeting : My fiancé did a lot of research on Lipo and new minimal invasive treatments similar to Lipo and he landed on Dr. Carreon for his procedure ( which is still a couple weeks away). He convinced me to also get a consultation and was very confident Dr. Carreon could deliver the results we were looking for. As soon as I met Dr. Carreon she made me few comforted and confident in this journey. Her staff is amazing especially priscilla , she has answered every question

Dr. Carreon and her staff are amazing

I have to say Dr. Carreon and her staff are amazing. They did all the procedural safeguards and made me feel comfortable. I’m only a few days post op but I already see fantastic results. She was honest about what to expect. I’m still swollen with some pain. I'm following all her recommendations far as keeping my garment on . I can’t wait until most swelling go down because I’m already ecstatic.

Smart lipo - I cannot believe my results

She is amazing! I got smart lipo in my lower/upper abs pubic sides and my bra roll. My results do far have been amazing it's do crazy how small my stomach is. I'm 10 days post op and went for my first lymphatic massage (wish I went sooner) as I was starting to get fibrosis in some areas. I highly recommend them as they will make you feel so much better.I should have went 24-48 hours after my surgery. The swelling is there especially in my pubic area at times it was really scary

I can already see my figure coming in

So far on day 4 post op (surgery done 02/05/20) but I can already see my figure coming in! It's been uncomfortable, but worth it so far! I got my upper/lower abdomen, waist, pubic, and bra rolls done for round one. I go back 03/04/2020 for my arms and upset back. Updated on 9 Feb 2020: Definitely more uncomfortable than painful. The garments really are a blessing. I took 1/2 off to wash it, and could feel the difference immediately. The binder is awkward, but it definitely helps.
