Asked By:kpalv in Chicago, IL

I am three weeks post abdominal liposuction. My doctor now informs me that I will need two therapeutic ultrasound treatments per week for the next eight weeks to achieve optimal results. At an additional price of $400 dollars. Did I just get ripped off or is this a necessary treatment?
