I have been working out regularly all my life and...
I did the procedure on my lower abs, side flank and back flank. While the vacuum sucks in roll of fat, it's an odd feeling. Like a suction, then it gets cold. It doesn't hurt but when it's time to be removed and the blood rushes back to that area, it's not pleasant. It's like when your arm falls asleep but worse. The nurses massaged the area with arnica cream. I highly recommend getting arnica gel or cream to use at home during recovery. It's an uncomfortable dull ache but it does go away and then that area is numb for a few weeks. Not completely but it slowly comes back to feeling morning after about 6 weeks. Honestly, I wasn't sure I saw a difference until I took before and after photos at the clinic because it's so gradual.
Despite the discomfort, I highly recommend the procedure with a respected and highly reviewed doctor. I think that makes a huge difference. Placement of the vacuum makes a big difference. As well as the size of the applicator used. The fats cells melt and they are gone forever. If someone haphazardly places the applicators you'll be lumpy. No one wants that.
Provider Review
Dr. Casas was wonderful. She discusses your lifestyle with you before you even get into the procedure because she wants to make sure that your effects will be lasting. She understands this is an investment so she sets you up with a plan to keep the results. She goes over your nutrition and vitamin recommendations before and after the procedure. She takes the time to really look at your body, discuss the procedure you want, ad she gives you her recommended plan and WHY. The why is the best because I thought I needed more on my abdomen but because I had two kids she said my skin was stretched out and If they did the area above my navel it would make the skin there wrinkle. Not ideal. The entire staff was wonderful. No one was every pushy or rude. Everyone was warm and friendly. I never felt rushed or judged in any way. I would recommend anyone to come here for any aesthetic procedure.
