Nadja Colon, MD

Dr. Colon did my TT and back Lipo a little over a year ago. I am thrilled with my results and she has amazing professionalism, skill, and beside manner. I've since moved out of state, but am considering returning to her for more work.

Dr.Colon performed liposuction on my Upper Lower ab, Flanks and Bra Roll. She has also performed lip filler and botox for me. She's is truly a great Doctor. She takes her time with each consult and makes sure every questions is answered. If you wanting to have anything done in the Nashville area,shes your Doctor!

I can honestly say I will never go to another Dr. for cosmetic enhancement. Ever. As someone who is nervous about needles, medications, and any type of surgical procedure, I felt like Dr. Colon made sure I was well informed and armed with the information I needed to ease my nervousness. She also made sure I had proper expectations from my liposuction. During the procedure, she made me feel so comfortable! I am a fairly self-conscious person and Dr. Colon is truly professional and free of judgment. She gets excited about helping you reach your goals and listens to your concerns. Will post photos later. I am in my fourth week post liposuction and even with the swelling, I can see a significant difference. I got my arms, back, sides, and stomach treated with vaser lipo and j-plasti laser skin tightening. I'm so excited to continue to see improvement as I heal. The difference so far has inspired me to hire a personal trainer and begin meal prepping. Dr. Colon has restored my motivation and hope of being my best self. Recommending her to everyone I know!!

The staff at NuBody Concepts are fantastic. They made me feel very comfortable and excited about the process.

-The shots were a paint level to be expected...they're shots.
-The most painful part for me was the numbing spray. I made sure to breathe deeply which helped but was still a little intense. However, the doctor worked fast when she saw how uncomfortable I was.
-They gave me the incisions which was a very quick pain.
-The best part was the "loopy" medicine. Once that kicked in I didn't know what was happening lol. I slept, laughed and talked the whole time (about what I don't know). It made me so much more comfortable and less anxious!
-I went in at 8:30am and my mom picked me up between 11:30-11:45am. So it was fairly quick.

I am kind of scared that they couldn't get a lot of fat off BUT I was reminded BEFORE my procedure that everyone is different and results would vary. I decided to take that risk. I felt as if they could get anything off that would help my confidence and put me in the right direction to continue with my body goals on my own.

I'm not in very much pain, just sore. Yesterday, I took a really long nap and when I got up I was fine. Even started to do some chores and play with my dog.

So far, I'm okay. I do not have before pictures because I forgot to take them before I left home for the procedure. I will continue to update.

I've stopped draining but the pain had been getting more intense from the swelling. It could be from the salt that I am eating in my food so I need to readjust my diet. I will be starting back on my supplements today and I am still taking the pain medication that I was prescribed. I am still remaining positive of my results.

I'm so glad the tenderness has gone DOWN! I must say, what you eat after the procedure means A LOT to how you recover. I haven't had any issues today.

I didn't see the results at first, but my beady friend did. Now I'm comparing pictures and I see what she means. I'm working out 4 times per week for 30 minutes to 1 hour. I am working up to two a days because I don't have a reason not to do everything I can to get to where I want to be.

This is me 6 weeks post op. I haven't been eating and working out like I should. So I'm slowing down my progress. I'll be back into the swing of things soon :) Also, I wear the waist trainer when I want to wear something that I need to wear a strapless bra with. I'm not waist training, I only wear it when I need it for fashion purposes. I'm still in the compression garment that the clinic gave me.

Forgot to post these to the previous post.

Made this because I wasn't happy with my progress at first BUT now I see more results. Now completely there. I have so much work to do myself but I'm getting there.

Not seeing any results. I've even been on a diet and doing WAY more cardio. What's going on?

Updated on 11 Jul 2017:
So basically my update is that my procedure didn't take. I should've lost a lot more weight before I got this done. I was told that I had too much fat behind my abdominal wall that couldn't be fixed with aqualipo. Needs less to say I expressed my dissatisfaction with the clinic and have requested my money back. I appreciate their help but I'm getting a trainer and going back to the gym to finish getting right and tight on my own. Honestly, I think I'll feel better after I do it! I'm actually going to keep my account just to post pictures of my weight loss progress WITHOUT surgery. Good luck to the rest of you!

I had my procedure on Wednesday, April 13th, 2016, I returned to work the very next day with know down time. It has been a week and I'am so excited. From the moment I entered the building I felt comfortable, the staff was very kind. Dr. Colon, along with Stephanie Smith, MA and Marie Wambo R.N, made me feel comfortable and safe, we chatted the entire time and before I knew it, it was over. I thank God for these wonderful ladies.

I just had my first check-up and I am amazed, I feel good and look good too!!! This is one of the best decision I've made for my life.

Previous review issue fixed

I'm going to NuBody concepts for my procedure with Dr. Colon. I fully understand that I won't leave looking like a Barbie Doll, my hope is just to have a resemblance of my shape from two years ago, prior to a traumatic event that led to me taking medications which caused a 50lb wt gain. I just want to loook in the mirror and recognize the person staring back at me.

I am also someone who appreciates everyone on here, sharing their stories and giving
great advice. Two years ago I had a bikini body and no worries in the world. On 8/4/15 I was sexually assaulted and was put through hell during that season. I was diagnosed with PTSD. Several medication trials and two years later, I'm 50lbs heaver than I've EVER been, so I decided to take back what little control I had left of myself. I changed my meds, refused to allow myself to sulk in bed all day and then I chose to get liposuction to help me kick start this new season of my life. Yesterday, I went NuBody concepts in Brentwood, and Dr. Colon and I formed a plan of action. I had smart lipo on my bilateral arms, upper/lower stomach and a banana roll. I'll try to keep posting as I progress.

My husband works 48 on and 4 days off, so I've had to manage ( very unsuccessfully I might add). My recovery alone. Dr Calon did a great job of trying to suck out as much subcutaneous fat cells that she could. Unfortunately, I'm in immense pain. I cry out each time I move, but save the theatrics for when I have to get up out of bed. On a scale of 1-10, I'm at a 20. Dr. Colon graciously prescribed meds to keep me comfortable, but when you get this kind of procedure done, thats an oxymoron.
I took my first shower today and unfortunately I'm so swollen that I couldn't zip up my compression garmet. So, all that's keeping it together are tree small hooks. I pray they are stronger than they look!

I'm now two weeks post procedure and I'm trying to allow grace for my lack of progress. I gained three pounds (which is expected, but discouraging). I did transition from a medium garment to a small which is definitely a victory!! I'm trying my best to keep a positive attitude and move forward towards healing.....both emotionally and physically. Prayers appreciated!

It's been three weeks since my procedure and my reaction is, meh. I'm eating better meals and walking, because I was told my fat was visceral and lipo can't get to that fat, I have to work it off. After spending so much money, I was hoping for a more drastic decrease in my size, but unfortunately it hasn't. I've been wearing my garments religiously. I actually had a situation with my arm garments, they were cutting into my skin, causing a laceration. The nurse at NuBody hooked me up with a complimentary new and different style of a garment to wear, which is much better on my arms, but now digs into my sternum. Catch 22. My hope is that as I continue to heal and exercise I won't look 6 months pregnant.

I have stalked this website for the past few weeks. I have read hundreds of reviews and each persons review actually made me feel more confident in my decision. I used to work out a lot and was in very good shape but the past two years I have put on 25 pounds. I am ready to get back in the gym and I think this is a good start!!

I am having my procedure done today at Nubody Concepts in Germantown, TN ( i.e. Memphis,TN). I met with Dr. Nadja Colon and she made me feel very confident and comfortable in my decision!! She answered all of my questions and took her time meeting with me. Amber and Lindsey, the office staff, are great and very friendly!!

I am having aqualipo done to my lower/upper abdomen, flanks, and full back. The cost of the procedure is $7,600.00. I am so excited, can't wait!! I will post more pictures soon....

The correction date for the surgery is January 26, 2017. The procedure is actually going on right now and it's not to bad. I will update soon!!

Had a TT 25 years ago and lipo all over since then (except arms.) weight has been up and down 118 to 145. Worried about skin retraction due to my age. However i dont have alot of loose skin but dont want it either. Really worried about the arms. May back out of that.-we will see.I will post some pre pics sometime before the procedure. Welcome comments as to effectiveness and loose skin especially in older than 50 year olds. Also would like to see comments from anyone that has had a procedure at Nu body concepts and Dr Colon in Memphis Tennessee.
