I did not get the results I was looking for at ALL! I see an indent over my LEFT flank where apparently the fat was indeed frozen away. The only thing that sucks is that it only exist over the left flank but not the right one as well, so I'm uneven. Also, where I wanted fat to be removed is not where the indent is... So far, I'm not sure if the procedure or the technician is to blame, all I know is be careful! I should have saved up for Lipo instead. No pictures, because the difference the indent makes can't be seen in comparing my before and after pictures, but it is there. I also did not gain any weight at all, so that was not the issue. Hope everyone else has better luck, but I will not be repeating this procedure again!

It's almost been three weeks since the procedure. Now, I'm only a little bit numb in the area, but there is absolutely no pain, bruising, or swelling. The pain and slight bruising subsided after just a few days. I haven't noticed any results yet, but it's only been 2 and a half weeks, so I'm not giving up hope! :D

Hi! Any results yet? I know you were planning on getting treated a second time, did that end up happening?

Today, I woke up to find that the treated area was a little red, especially towards the back. However, I also noticed that where the redness and soreness was differed from one side to the other. I hope this doesn't affect my results. Both areas are slightly numb and sore to the touch. I don't think I'm experiencing any swelling on either side, so that's good news. I'll update if anything changes.

I've had my flanks done twice, once on the sides and the other towards the back. Both times one side bruised more than the other and stayed red longer, but results have been awesome! Wish I had taken pics rather than relying on the doctor, but I when I where a compression top, no big bulges!

For my first time with the flanks, I started 'feeling' slimmer in a couple weeks. Visually it took about 2 months. My upper abs are noticeable, especially the 'pinch' test. And again I'd say a couple months. I'm curious to see what my back flanks will look like in a couple months. It's weird, but I also lost about 4 pounds and I did not change anything. Apparently this is NOT the norm.
