I've been working out consistently for 7+ years, and I have been able to achieve my goals with the exception of stubborn love handles. Dr. Emer, having been my primary derm for fillers and botox for quite some time, suggested I may want to consider liposuction. At first, the suggestion of liposuction sounded quite radical. After all, what muscular guys get or need liposuction?
After thoroughly explaining how my genetics were impacting my ability to lose my stubborn back flanks, he showed me some pictures of his previous work. Not only is his expertise and thought-leadership in this area apparent, he also seems to have a special ability to contour male bodies in such a way so that they look genetically-gifted and natural. Needless to say, I was very impressed and decided to book the procedure. I was particularly impressed with the ab sculpting work he had done, so I decided to do my upper and lower abdomen along with the back flanks.
It has been just under a week since the procedure and I am already very happy with the results (even though I am told it will take a couple of weeks for the swelling to subside). My sides are completely flat, and its very clear already that my abdomen is going to be very well defined. Most surprising to me, was how easy the procedure and recovery are. I had taken several days off work anticipating not being able to leave home; however, the day after my procedure I was able to move around freely and even went for a quick brunch. Three days later, I was pretty much back to my normal routine with the exception of working out. No doubt the careful and attentive office staff made the recovery much easier with their detailed instructions and check-ins.
I would recommend this type of procedure to anyone that has any part of their body with a little extra fat they would like to remove. It's not as painful, disruptive or expensive as one might think.

10 days later, most of the swelling and bruising is gone. I'm seeing really great results, and I know it is only going to get better! I've been also been able to start working out again.

Your progress is fantastic. Thank you for such a nice review. We enjoyed having you in the office and look forward to the final results which will be evident in 3-6 months. Since we did a high definition procedure to define your abs and help shape and structure your flanks, it is important you keep up your part by dieting and exercising the best you can over the next few weeks to months. The results will only continue to get better and you will be another one of my success stories! I am so happy for you. Dr. E

Did you get traditional liposuction or smartlipo or some other form of lipo? I'm really interested in getting the exact same that you did but I'm just afraid of the scarring. I do want to get my abs etched/sculpted but I'm more so concerned about the scarring. Where were your lipo entries located because looking at your pictures, I see no scars what so ever and I'm impressed. Thanks for reading all of this and answering back.

Hi! Actually, I don't have any visible scaring at all. There were two entry points above my groin, one in each back flank and one in my belly button. It took a few weeks for the mark to disappear, but now you wouldn't even be able to tell. Overall I am very happy with my results, even though they are not fully apparent yet. I would highly recommend Dr. Emer. Don't go elsewhere...he is the best with etching!

I am very meticulous with my incision sites and how I prepare and treat the skin before, during and after surgery. I almost never have any visible scarring or complications/irregularities for that matter. My patients are extremely satisfied and I specialize specifically in body contouring/shaping/body etching. If you have further questions please contact our office. You will see that we treat all our patients like family and have a very high regard for the quality of our work and patient satisfaction.
