Abdo and Flanks Vaser Lipo - Adelaide, AU

ORIGINAL POST

Hi, I'm booked in for upper and lower abdominal...

WORTH IT$9,000
Hi,
I'm booked in for upper and lower abdominal and flanks in about 2 weeks time and am keen to hear from others who have a similar body type and if they are happy with their results. I've spent hours researching online and have found very few Adelaide reviews although I'm told the procedure is extremely popular.
I'm both excited and nervous, hoping that my expectations are realistic. I have a frowny belly button and a little lose skin on my upper abdominals, which I hope will retract with the vaser, plus some extra padding on the lower tummy and hips that doesn't seem to shift no matter how hard I train (I work out 4-5 times per week).
There are lots of conflicting reviews about recovery so I'll document my journey here and let you know how I go!

I had vaser lipo almost 2 months ago and love my results! Look at my before and afters. I had one child and had her via c section. I have some stretch marks on my lower stomach but my skin has retracted just fine.

Your tummy looks great! Hope my results are similar :)

Hi sandow, you have a very similar pre body shape to me so I am interested to see your results. I had my surgery 8 days ago now so still very early days. when is your procedure?

Hi Melissajx, I'm booked in for Monday next week, feeling quite anxious as it's coming around very quickly now! I've heard so many conflicting opinions on whether or not it's worth it (results/recovery wise).. what's your opinion so far? Struggling to find reviews from Adelaide girls, can I ask where you had your surgery?
September 22, 2016
Hi, I have a similar body type (I posted my pictures when I asked a question, I don't know if you can see them) and I am about to schedule my big day for December so i would be grateful if you post your pictures after you get it done. I'm also quite a fan of the gym, I do my aerobic classes 4-6 times a week.

I had it on my hips, tummy, and arm pit area. Tummy wasn't worth it and was extremely painful. If i had to do it again I wouldve saved my money and got a tummy tuck. I did love the results on my saddlebags though.

Are these your before pics? As you look amazing already and it will be even better after!
I'm also from Adelaide and had 2 children and wanting to get it done as I have the exact same problem and hoping getting this done will help tighten the skin and give me more of a curvier shape (not so much fat loss as I don't mind working out and eating healthy) I'm also weary of the surgeons in Adelaide and trying to weigh out the cost. Will you be doing it under local or general anaesthetic?
All the best! Let me know how you go!
September 10, 2016
Yes these are my before pics. It's difficult researching local surgeons here as there are so few reviews.
I'm doing it under twilight sedation as day surgery.
Have you consulted with anyone as yet? I'd be curious to know what kind of $$ you've been quoted.
September 10, 2016
Yeh it's really hard to find anyone here in Adelaide that does it! I'm weighing out the options of travelling as I also need a BA revision as I have lost a lot of volume due to skin and weight loss. I'm hoping the Vaser lipo will help my skin tighten up as I am really avoiding the tummy tuck option. I'm opting to go to Sydney as there are a lot more surgeons there or even Melbourne and getting both done at the same time.
I haven't got any quotes as yet but I'll keep you posted.

*i meant breastfeeding

That would be great. I looked at the TT option but don't have enough skin and would end up with a vertical scar (from original belly button) as well as the hip to hip scar. Not worth it given I don't have any previous scars or stretch marks..

Good luck with your surgery and recovery X I had traditional lipo and fat transfer in Melb I'm interested to see your results with Vaser
September 12, 2016
Thank you, I don't know a lot about traditional lipo or fat transfer but it looks like you've had great success!
