I saw Dr. Shotwell last October because I notice my love handles(flanks) were bigger since the swell went down and my lipo is older. He would not retouch them, instead he told me he would not go back in due to skin damage. I could not convince him that he skipped my flanks. Then he tried to sell me on this new surgeon he had in the office to get invasive tt. So, I went to another surgeon and he said my u/l abs were down beautifully, but the doctor did nothing for you flanks. So, now I am being charge $5100 for tt and flank. I called American Lipo Center and talk to the lady about it and I was informed of a new doctor. I guess they got rid of Dr. Shotwell. If you have been jip by dr. Shotwell I would inform you to inquire about your flanks as well. Dr. Shotwell did not know where flanks are on a women, but that's what we get for a medical doctor doing a plastic surgeons job.

Yea I went to him last year in Feb,and my results look gud at first but then after like 3 months it was like I never had it did.The new doctor who is there is excellent, I just had her do a retouch of me on Feb 26, she is a broad certified plastic surgeon..She is new to Atlanta she has her own practice place in johns creek area, she currently just had a huge launch party, Kenya Moore from Atlanta housewives help host the event. Her name is Dr Myla Bennet you should look her up, But she not go be at american Lipo 2 much longer,She was just doing it till her office pick up and her office is very stylish, plus Dr shot well made me have a lot of scar tissue plus I was uneven, but she is very detail and my results should be better with her,also can you tell me were did you get your other zip up cg garment from, But good luck on your next surgery

Picture 1 show how my stomach use to look before surgery and after surgery. Then you have one front view, rear view (you can see my body has changed due to exercise), and then a picture with the new look in a collage. I think if you are thinking about smart-lipo, it is worth the money. But you can't just sit around and eat and not take care of your body because that is what got us in trouble in the first place. Be good to your new body.

Received a call from ALC checking to see how was my recovery. Made a two week appt to see Dr. Shotwell(I bet) What Starks me is the touch up wasn't as bad as the first time I got smartlipo and it was a month or two before I called myself and asked "do I suppose to get a check up or something?" She told me the first appt is with th Dr, then the second one with the nurse. Feeling special today, let's see what he says next week. #very grateful
