Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Hi, I gained a huge amount of weight a few years...
Hi, I gained a huge amount of weight a few years back (3 years) after a short stressful period and since then I have been unable to get rid of it :(- im normally a 63KG girl and im 169cm tall. but now I weigh 78KG, I no longer recognise my body. My body has always been in proportion, and still is today despite the extra weight but i want my old body back! I want to fit into my old clothes and look how im used to looking.
so- ive now seen two consultants in Dubai (where i now live) and both have agreed they can do the work- arms, inner thighs (outer)flanks, tummy and back! One consultant has suggested Vaser with GA on those areas and the other has insisted that traditional lipo is better.
let me break it down as I really need some advise and guidance...
surgeon number 1- great guy, nice clinic etc, loads of media coverage on him too. agreed can do all areas but suggested only inner thighs as i don't have saddle bags- he only does vaser and was adamant that this is the current best in the market.
surgeon 2- again great guy, felt super comfortable with him, loads of exp 20yrs plus but minimal media coverage (seems he doesn't like to boast?!) anyhow, he was not happy to do my outer arms as said the skin is too thin and would sag but agreed to do the over arm and side as skin was thicker, he also suggested i do my banana line (which the other surgeon didn't pick up on) to better define my butt as well as inner thighs! over all i have good muscle tone so he's confident my skin (although by genetics i have thin skin) should retract well. i do want to do my knees but cant as i have a huge veracious vein and haven't yet had the time to operate on it- so no go area for now!
I have a pilonidal cyst and both agreed any incisions will need to be done on the sides to avoid aggravating it.
my question to you all is which is better? Vaser or normal Lipo? i like the second guy, felt he understood and was modern in his approach (also the ladies in the waiting room where the same as me- where as the first was different) ....
thanks al :)
