photos of follow up visit at 2 weeks to show swelling and recovery

WORTH IT
I received follow up photos-so I deleted the unclear ones. Here are the actual photos from my 2 week follow up appointment. Bruising is almost gone but the swelling is usually at its peak at 2 weeks. I promise that even with all the swelling-you will still look better than before the procedure!
I have received many messages asking if I had fat injected and even my own sister asked me if I got butt implants-which is hilarious considering she has the same body I DID!-lol
so- NO! I had ZERO fat injected-no butt implants! Dr Gruber did lipo only to create the shape and protrusion! I still laugh looking at the photos because I insisted I didn't have enough to remove to create this shape. If you are considering this procedure-send Dr Gruber your photos and let her tell you what she can achieve!

What did you have done? You look great
Thank YOU! Dr Gruber performed her very own signature "Gruber Booty"! She truly accentuated my curves! My husband is thrilled too! It really does look like I got butt implants-Dr Gruber provides great results with this procedure on woman of all shapes and sizes. There are no sitting restrictions-no fat transplanted-all done with her sculpting technique. Check out her Instagram-their are MANY before and afters that show her expertise!
I checked out her ig.. she is talented. Do you mind me asking how much
I’d love an estimate as well
PRICING-I just called and spoke with Ashley the patient coordinator at Artlipo to ask a "general" price to respond to the many requests I receive in my inbox. If you look at my reviews-I have done several areas at this point and each procedure has been a combination-sooo I really wouldn't want to mi$lead anyone!!! I am in search of pricing for a breast lift and find myself messaging patients on realself asking the same thing-"HOW MUCH$$??"-so I totally understand!!!
So again---Ashley Vega will give you an EXACT price for YOUR body! I promise-Artlipo does not bombard you with emails or try to sell you on anything ever.
With each procedure I have had I sent photos to Ashley of the areas I wanted removed-she will have the doctor draw on your photos to show what you can expect from the procedure and give you a price!-SIMPLE AS THAT!!!
There really are NO SET PRICES!-I have a friend who paid $2000 less for her inner thighs because she had less fat than I did to remove-so it really is in your best interest!
You can call her at 813-886-9090 if you would like to speak with her-she herself has had a few procedures and talked me through all my fears!-lol
or-email your photos with age and weight to ashley@artlipo.com
Be sure to let her know if you want more than one area -there are BIG discounts -- like I did!-Their prices are very reasonable in the Tampa area and every ounce of fat I am missing was worth EVERY PENNY!!! Good luck to you!!!
Wow! You look amazing!
THANK YOU!!
You look good what’s her location
Dr Gruber is in Tampa Florida
She has great posts on Instagram!!

I haven't updated in a while-I was trying to stay in sequence and did not receive photos from my follow up appointments. Dr Gruber had given me a few side by sides but they are not very clear since they are on paper. I wanted to show how the swelling temporarily affects your results. Throughout the past 8 weeks I have not really had pain-it was uncomfortable at times and I continued to wear a garment that Dr Gruber designed herself. It is not mandatory to wear a garment after 2 weeks but it really kept me comfortable and kept any residual swelling down.
The Gruber Booty procedure has really made a dramatic change to my whole body! I am very happy with the results.

ONE WEEK

I am one week into recovery and it really hasn't been bad at all! I do have normal swelling and bruising but this procedure was surprisingly an easy recovery. The garment is a little restrictive and I have included photos to show how Dr Gruber protects her work. I am always shocked when I read reviews of liposuction patients who have to purchase their own garments on Amazon??? At the end of your procedure with Dr Gruber-you are literally custom fitted into a garment that will help your end result! After the nurse does EVERYTHING possible to make sure your sculpted area is covered up tight-Dr Gruber comes back in to inspect it and will and has changed me out to fit better-without hesitation and now that you have soiled the one she didn't like-they throw it in the garbage. Until she is satisfied-you are not walking out-lol The next day at your follow-up-the nurse removes your garment and gives it to sealed in a plastic bag to wash. She then places you in a clean fresh garment and also gives you an additional one that is one size up for when you swell up-to use only if needed. so now you have 3. The garment is so important-they are expensive but I still just can not believe a doctor would trust a patient to just pick out something online??
