3 yrs ago I had Acqualipo done w/ Dr Robert Golden @ The Golden Clinic. I had just gone thru 4 yrs of fertility treatment & I needed a quick lift in my self-esteem. In total I did 5 areas, local anesthesia, 2 hours, back home right after. No complaints. 2 mos later I got preggo. Never saw the results. Three years later I lose the baby weight and I see great results. Really happy considering the cost, the painless post-op and the fact that it was an outpatient procedure. Super happy EXCEPT for a small irregularity I had in my tummy. As small as it could be, it bothered me A LOT. I was working out, was working on my six-pack and anytime I would take a picture, there was the small bulge. I called him to discuss it and ask for a revision since I never had the 6-month appt where we were supposed to see the results because I was pregnant. He said that he could fix it for the "modest" amount of $1200. I had paid three years ago $4000 for five areas (saddlebags, banana rolls, flanks, stomach and tummy) because I had a Groupon discount and although all was pretty good, he wouldn't do the review at no cost.

Then I decided I was not gonna do it with him, but with the plastic surgeon I've been seeing because I need an implant review and replacement. He charged me $1500 and could handle it as an outpatient procedure, local anesthesia, same process as the first time. I booked the procedure for less than one week later.

The procedure was fast, painless and relatively short. I had to wear the garments for 5 days, until our first post-op consult, and when I looked at the result for the first time, bam!, this is the result.

The post-op pic is only 5 days out, so of course things will still adjust. I will post another pic soon in better lighting and closer. But I'm already happy with what I see, which makes me think things will only improve over the next six months. Super happy with my decision and the current result! Highly recommend Dr Nelson.
