My motivation was my health condition Rheumatoid...
WORTH IT$2,650
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 him. I love my results even though it's 3 days postpartum I can tell the difference. I got my lower and upper abdomen and flanks done. He removed 2500 ml of fat that's equivalent to 5.5lbs from my abdomen area. People are already giving me compliments. I was 178lbs on surgery date now I'm 176lbs today! I still have soreness and bruising but it is reducing slowly every day.

Wow ! You look great , did you do tummy tuck or liposuction ? I have 4 kids all c-section and 36 yrs old work out real had but my problem are is my lower abdominal . I don't know which procedure to do .

I did liposuction but I didnt really have stretched skin so it depends if you need your skin nipped and tucked then I would say lipo if you just want some fat removed then liposuction. Also depends on your elasticity. I had a friend who had a tummy tuck after twins c-section but she didnt need it she could of did laser lipo. But have a consult or two or three and see what each dr says along with your own research.

My Tummy is only looking better, It's only been 2 Weeks Post-Op!
There is still some swelling and pain but I can only tell when I remove my undergarments and compression garment. Over the last few dys I had some itching and numbness but extra strength cortisone creme worked just fine twice a day for the itching. Other than that all is well I am enjoying my new tummy getting lots of compliments and cant wait for 4 weeks. Right now my waist is measuring 32 inches I started at 35-36 in waist.

Very nice results! On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate his bedside manners? 10 being the best..lol

I would say an 8 he does seem to prefer to concentrate on his work which is quite understandable he did do great work! But through out the process he asked me was I ok several times and any areas that needed more numbing he would do as soon as I let him know I could feel it.

Ooooohhhh, you did local anesthesia? He has one really bad review from someone who received really bad burns...so I was a little skeptical of him..how's everything going now?

Everything is going well still swollen and sore but I didn't have any burns as you can see maybe that was an isolated incident. But I always say trust your gut it will never fail you

Your 2 weeks post-op pictures look great! Your results were seen quickly! Did he do a great job on your pannus and flank area? Did you have smart lipo (laser) or vaser lipo (ultrasound) ? And, did your skin tighten quickly?

I posted new pics and it was laser lipo with tumescent fluid and my skin did tighten took some time tho and its still not as tight as I want but that will come with weight loss and exercise.
Thanks for adding pics- please keep us posted on your healing!
