Upper, Lower and Flanks........Buckhead, GA
I have two children with my youngest turning one years old a month before surgery. The nurse Sundance was amazing! She expalined everything and made sure I was comfortable. Dr. Shotwell was very reserved but continuously made sure I was okay during my procedure. I am one month and 2 weeks post op and still have some soreness. My stomach has gone down a lot but I wish more fat was removed. Dr. Shotwell stated he removed as much as he could safely. Overall I am please and now it's
My motivation was my health condition Rheumatoid arthritis before I always dealt with the belly fat and minimized it by exercise and dieting but after having a baby and dealing with RA I would lose weight and gain it right back mostly in the abdomen. Dr. Shot well was great despite other reviews his bedside manner was good. He answered all my questions and talked to me during the procedure. He asked me several times how I was doing and catered to my needs. I would definitely recommend
So i am very active and eat pretty well but i have stubborn belly fat and i was so over it! I finally saved up and got it done. I went to American lipo center in Atlanta. My nurse Sundance was awesome! My Dr was nice but seemed like a shy guy. Both answered all my questions and very honest. The day of the surgery was about 4 hrs in total. I was pretty out of it most of the time. I can see a difference and i am def smaller and i see definition! I still have soreness and numb on

28 Year Old Mommy. Atlanta, GA
After I went from being a size 5 to a 14 after having my son, nothing including working out seem to make me lose weight in my mid section. Fortunately I am extremely shapely so it didn't look horrible but I wasn't happy with my size so lipo was inevitable. I went to American Lipo Center and they were able to get 5lbs of fat from my stomach and flanks. I can't wait to see the final results! Updated on 26 Sep 2014: The first day I felt like a million bucks! I went to the store
I have tried to lose my "baby fat" for the past 5 years. I had an extreme amount of belly fat over my abdomen. If I ate the smallest meal Mt stomach would bloat as if I was 5 months pregnant. I mastered the art if ducking in. I extremely happy with my results. In March 31st At 5 Am I Went Into American Lipo Center Atl GA And immeadiediatly one day later I saw extreme results dr. Shotwell did amazing I know the best is yet to come I still have swelling soreness and I believe all
I am getting smartlipo to get rid of my two layer stomach fat. I went to get my consultation on Feb. 26, 2014 at American Lipo Center in Atlanta, Dr. Shotwell. My consultation was with his nurse Rosha(row-shay). They are having a special u/l abdomen and flank, so I decided I would like this for myself. Get three areas for half price! At the consultation they will tell you they don't have any specification for this procedure due to the sell. They will ask about your health history,
Thursday, November 13th was 1 week and 2 days past my 44th birthday. I had been exercising all year long and trying to keep my body in shape. I have 2 children, a 16 year old and a 5 year old. (12 years...yeap, I know, you go figure...don't know what I was thinking!!!!) Nonetheless, I love them both dearly. Before I had my last child, I was a solid 12 and sometimes could fit some 10s depending on how they were made. I have always been pretty athletic so I don't really see

Dr. Shotwell is a Fat Erasing Wizard! Hello Flat Stomach! - Atlanta, GA
So I had my stomach and waist line done with Dr. Shotwell - American Lipo Centers (Atlanta office) and I'm happy, happy with results!! My stomach has always been my big problem area, no matter how much I worked out. Well those days are gone! Can't believe a lifetime of dealing with muffin top and in only 2 hours it was gone! Dr. Shotwell was very calming, super nice, and made the whole thing easy for me. First few days I was sore but could get around okay. Within a week

Keloids under my breast & thighs & also burned in some areas
Here are pictures of my skin after the procedure. I have keloids in the areas under my breast and on my thighs which means I will never wear a halter top or a bikini again. That area where he did the incisions under my breast is not small as a pen needle like the pre procedure instructions said it would be. The areas in my thighs have just rolled over, turn black and keloid. I also burned in some areas. I include pictures of the cream I’m using to help heal my target areas. However
Not Worth It19 months Post-Op
48 Year Old Female. Atlanta, GA
I had four areas done. I received burns on my lower abs. Not enough was taken off of the upper abs. I was given cream on two occasions for the burns. I still have the scars from the burning after 1 1/2 years. Very little work was done on the bra roll. I still have a bra roll. That was a waste of money for the bra roll, I didn't get to see the doctor when I went back for my checkup. I saw the nurse. The nurse assured me that Dr. Shotwell had done a lot of these procedures,
