How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

So after my 6 weeks I was happy with the contouring that took place from the aqualipo but my skin never tightened up. In fact it looked worse than previously because there was nothing in there. My idea of loose skin was also very different than their idea of loose skin. To me having folds that hung over was not "loose" skin, that's hanging folds of skin. I was pretty unhappy with the results, over all and decided to have a consultation with Dr. Greco regarding where we went from here. In the end, I did have a "skin only" tummy tuck and now I am super pleased. I will write a separate review for that.
I can say that I am happy I had the aqualipo prior to the tummy tuck. My only regrets is 1) I didn't ask to speak with the Dr. Emerson prior to the day of surgery. I believe he would have confirmed that I needed a tummy tuck to get the results I desired and I could have made more appropriate plans.

Slow but steady changes week three
Tomorrow is my three week postop date, and I am starting to see continued progress. It's not super fast but it is noticeable The skin is starting to tighten up a little bit but there's a lot more to go and hopefully my body will cooperate.
Week 2 Update
For certain, I have seen some changes taken place this week. Im swelling a lot less, though like most people, it's goes up and down through the day. I have been making sure Im drinking plenty of fluids, using sea salt scrubs on my belly ( the incisions are all closed now) and using good oils twice a day to help with the skin retraction. The medium CG started off pretty uncomfortable but now feels fine in just a little under a week, so maybe there's hope that I'll get in that small yet! :)
While I am still seeing quite a bit of hanging skin, it's has retracted some and my upper abs feel flat. So Im trying to practice patience. I also returned to the dance studio last night which was awesome feeling. I miss my time in the studio, and sitting at home was doing no Bueno on my tight hips. I didn't have any problem doing my normal 2.5 hours of classes, which I was stoked about.
I've decided that Im obsessing a little too much on the pictures, so I've decided not to post any this week, rather, I will post one on the third week. Other than the loose skin I feel great

Provider Review
Dr. Emerson was kind, professional and really easy to deal with. His staff was excellent both pre-post op and during surgery.
