I am getting the procedure done tomorrow on my abdomen. I am 26 years old, 5'4", and weigh about 120. I have always had a pudgy stomach no matter how much I exercise, how well I eat, even when I lose a few pounds. I don't need to lose weight so this should be a good procedure for me....if it really works. The before and after pics sure look promising so I am optimistic.
I paid $1500 for 2 treatments so I'm thinking that should take care of it. I will try to update this review fairly often so that you can all follow my progress.

I had it done at 3pm. I was too narrow to get good suction on the lg applicator so we ended up doing the medium one which worked great. You can kinda see in the pic that a ton of fat was sucked into the applicator :)
The first 7-10 minutes were uncomfortable and it felt like cold fire. Then I was pretty numb for the rest of it. I am recovering from a cold and was afraid to cough because of the strong suction on my belly, but it was fine. Surprisingly, the massage was fine, not painful at all, but did feel strange.
It was quite uncomfortable for 5 or so minutes after the massage while I was starting to "thaw". Now, 3 hours later, I feel fine. Virtually no discomfort, but kinda numb. I will continue to update as thing change.

So far so good

Slept fine last night, actually slept for almost 12 hours which was much needed. This morning I have no redness and no swelling. The area is fairly tender when touched but otherwise there is no pain.
It seems as if I am actually smaller this morning. I am tracking 3 measurements (natural waist, across the navel, and 2-3" below navel). Yesterday morning I was 27.5, 33, 34 and today I'm 27, 32.25, 32.75 which makes me feel great but I'm sure most of it can be attributed to daily weight fluctuations. I tend to really bloat up quite often...I can eat a meal and end up looking quite pregnant and so far doctors don't really know why...I don't seem to have any food sensitivities/allergies.
Regardless, so far things are going great and there is no pain or swelling!

How much area did the medium applicator cover? Was the applicator placed directly over your belly button?

It was prob about 8 inches wide and it was over my belly button but not centered, there was more below than above.

Well it sure sucked up a ton of fat (it was full to the top) and in the picture after it was removed it looks like the desired area was hit pretty well so I think it will be good. I had 2 technicians try pretty hard to get the lg one to work but we couldn't get a good seal for the suction. I have another treatment in 45 days so that should really take care of it I think.

It probably will . I used the larger applicator on my lower abdomen and it reduced the area pretty significantly. I still have a bit of pudge left that I is now probably treatable will the smaller piece

So I might look into that. I just want it to get some of the area above my belly button too , so I'll have to see what they say later this month .

I too tend to bloat up quite often where I look pregnant after I eat. My stomach is just really sensative to everything. I think it's just trapped gas. I am not allergic to any foods. I've been tested. It just happens.
