Wow! You are gorgeous! I read that Dr Hoyos does more 3D sculpting than general fat sucking lipo. Is this what he did at the top of your arms, or do you have muscley shoulders anyway? Thanks for the review and photos!

I am not sure if he does 3-D ...he performed 4-D Vaser Lipo Sculpting (He is the inventor of this technique, that is why we traveled all the way to see him) My arms were chubby before the surgery, the definition was all Dr. Hoyos work!

Hi, I actually do not have ANY SCARS anymore...and I am fully healed. This was the best surgery that I decided to do. The reason I chose Dr. Hoyos is because he was the inventor of this surgery so I wanted to go to the best of the best, I have not heard or seen any complaints from him. I can send some updated photos this weekend

I have read reviews that it is not painful, I was in a good amount of pain for about 3 weeks, I did have alot of fat taken out though, my mother got the same surgery with me the same day and she had very little fat taken out and was in ALOT less pain.

Hi! Well yes Agree with that! Go with the inventor of this. I am very thin (00 in some brands) but my after my last ç section I have diastasis and an hernia. So I need to fix that and choose to do it trough the c section scar insted of laparoscopy, cause I can have done a mini lipectomy so if I'm going trough all of the pain let's make it worth it. But I have seen some ppl in this page that are not happy cause they are left with some loose skin on their belly, so that's why I was asking you what you think about that and how you feel! How does your mom feel?

You're awesome for replying to everyone. I've been going back and forth a million times over doctors in colombia lol. If I want a lot of fat removed with lipo, is vaser not the way for me to go? I'm still confused at the difference. I also emailed hoyos off his site once and someone replied and then disappeared lol. I can't believe you've lost 30 lbs since! How does that happen? That's what I want to happen

you look amazing!!! I hope my results are as good as yours! did you get any lumps and bumps during the whole process? I am 1 week post op on my upper and lower abs and flanks, Im still very swollen but am worried I am going to get bumpy when it fades.

Did you get the Hi-Def 4D Vaser? I did not have visible lumping at all, but I did have maybe internal lumping if you want to call it that? but just from bruising. I was swollen for a good 2 months. Make sure you are massaging regularly, I purchased this personal massager and would put a little bit of baby oil on it and would massage the areas for about 10-15 min while watching tv or hanging around the house which worked well for me. I also recommend to continue with the lymphatic massages and it helped with swelling ALOT! http://www.amazon.com/Homedics-PM-50-Massager-Battery-Operated/dp/B00170DB8U/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1422561871&sr=8-9&keywords=personal+massage+pink

Yes I had the hi def 3d laser! So far I can already see my results but am still soooo swollen! Thankyou very much for the advice! I don't feel lumpy yet, I just don't want to be as quite a few people talk about swellig going down and lumps showing and I really do not want that! Will get the massager!

January 30, 2015
it helps a lot! I had received about 8 lymphatic massages beginning 24 hours after surgery. THE PAIN WAS HORRIBLE I was crying and shaking when they were putting pressure on me but it removed so much of the fluid which brought down the swelling so in the end....pain is beauty =) Once I got home from Colombia I used the massager for about 2-3 weeks, it worked wonders on the inside of my thighs. I had the Hi Def 4D Vaser, not sure how different it is.
