Ive always been thicker in my midsection. I am very cautious of what i eat, i eat clean stay away from things like doughnuts and cookies and workout 6 days a week! ive done 3 mile walks daily along with an hour cardio. Im in great shape except for my torso. Its genetics, my mom and her family are just pudgey in theyre midsections. I got my lower abdomen done yesterday. It was pain free to me! it was definately odd but no pain! My right side was definately more sensitive, it was uncomfortable on my right lower abdomen but other than that no pain. Even the massage everyone talked about was pain free! Today is day 2 Im a little sore Updated on 9 May 2016: these are photos before my procedure Updated on 9 May 2016: had lots of swelling after the procedure. This is one day after the procedure. I will post my results once it has been 4 weeks. i am experiencing some bloating Updated on 14 May 2016: it has been two weeks since my procedure. I havent noticed a difference but i am also on my period. Some parts of my stomach are still somewhat numb, but overall ive been pain free since like day 7...the whole process was really pain free. Uncomfortable but no real actual pain. I hope my results are good! i will post photos one i hit 4 weeks! Updated on 14 May 2016: Curious....did anyone change theyre eating habits or workout habits because i havent changed mine. I work out consistently but my eating i would say is decent...its not great but its not terrible. I really would like to make sure if i do have great results that they are from my procedure alone. But is anyone out there changing they're eating habits and workout habits after your cool sculpting?!? Updated on 18 May 2016: So I got my lower abdomen done 2 weeks ago. And I went back today to get my flanks done ! I realllllly needed my flanks done. They're stubborn fat pockets that are diet resistant. I work out 5 days a week and still have these saddle bags! Procedure was once again pain free including the massage! I do have some bruising but nothing hurts so far I'm sure in a few days I'll feel it! Updated on 18 May 2016: These are photos from today after my procedure. They look painful I know but it wasn't painful at all! Updated on 1 Jun 2016: I'm sad to say I've seen no difference yet... Updated on 1 Jun 2016: The left is before cool sculpting and the right is 4 weeks after....my front view there is absolutely no changes. And the side view I'm not sure about. Either way the results haven't been too great yet :/ Updated on 20 Jun 2016: I got my flanks done 4 weeks ago... My results have been amazing.. My stomach area unfortunately my results are very very very minor..almost unnoticeable I'm not sure why ? But my flanks results were AMAZING!!! Highly recommend it! My sto,such maybe just needed another treatment. But my flanks responded VERY well
I have $14,212.50 in credits that I purchased that were used without my consent by Dorner office staff. I spent over 7 months trying to reach Dr. Dorner's office to get this issue resolved, and no one at his office, including Dr. Dorner will help. I sent a portal message in January, Dr. Dorner told me to contact Kelly. I did. She didn't reply. I called multiple times, no one ever called back. I messaged Dr. Dorner on his portal, he said he would have Kelly call me back. Kelly never called me. I messaged Dr. Dorner again. He told me he would have someone else call me. I never received a call from anyone at his office, nor a reply to any of my calls. In July, I went to the office in person to try to get a response to my queries, which included a statement from the financial software. I waited for 15 minutes in the waiting room for documents that Kelly said she had "right here". I informed the front desk that I was leaving, and asked them to have Kelly send me the documents via email and mail. I never received anything through mail. 2 days later, I received an email that contained a custom made spreadsheet (no documents from the software) for appointments that didn't happen, payments that were never requested to me, for appointments that ever existed. It DID include payments that were made without my consent (against their policy), for services not rendered. In August, I scheduled an appointment for a consultation for a service with Dr. Dorner. A few minutes before the appointment, I received a phone call from an unknown number. I answered the call, it was Olivia from Dr. Dorner's office. She stated that Dr. Dorner was really busy that day and was unable to meet with me. I asked her when we could reschedule. She was put in an awkward situation where she gave various reasons for not being able to reschedule. I asked her if Dr. Dorner knew this appointment was being cancelled, she said yes, stating twice that she reports directly to him. I asked her who I could talk with, as she stated it is her job is to help clients needs. She couldn't provide me an answer, but stated that "they didn't feel it was best for me to come in". I emailed Dr. Dorner afterwards, making sure he knew that this phone call and cancellation took place. I restated specifics of funds I have spent, contacts made to his office, and restating facts. I asked for my medical records and financial records. I never received a reply to my email, nor the records I requested. I had $14,212.50 in credit with Dr. Dorner's office and received a facial and a cream. I had met with Dr. Dorner previously and felt confident in his abilities and professionalism. The vast majority of his office staff was exceptionally professional and polite. The photos of his work are beautiful. Photos and former reviews aside, there are reasons to be skeptical about investing your funds here. I am not the only person who has experienced this as you will see on Better Business Bureau. The work is gorgeous, but don't let any life circumstances get in your way. Money has a way of getting in the way of the best interest of the patient. In the event someone from this office replies and says the situation has been taken care of-know that if it is taken care of, I will have this statement removed.
