Made my Glutes FLATTER

ORIGINAL POST

Made my Glutes FLATTER

aubrey1
5 treatments at Dr Lawrence Shaw in Scottsdale, AZ. My after photo clearly shows that my butt actually got flatter. He wouldn’t refund my money and sent me a harassing letter saying that if I post a negative review I need to “understand Arizona’s laws regarding publishing false accusations and the serious consequences”. I asked how is it s false allegation if it’s photos taken by his staff of my body. No response back. I called some attorneys and they were shocked how he tried to intimidate me and said I need to report him to the medical associations. My user name is not my real name. I don’t really want my now flat behind online. I can provide my real name however if anyone wants to discuss this more.

Wow. Yes, your butt seems to look flatter in the after picture. My understanding is that there are two protocols for Emsculpt. One is for the abdominals where you want both muscle stimulation and fat loss. The other protocol is for the glutes where you only want muscle stimulation and no fat loss to occur. A lot of people use Emsculpt as a lifestyle jumpstart and at the same time also make positive changes to improve upon their diet and exercise habits. In the after photo, it looks to me your stomach is flatter as well. Is it possible you changed anything with your diet and exercise and you ended up loosing some weight or experienced some body recomposition? Body recomposition is where you replace fat with muscle- your weight number on the scale can stay the same while your body fat % gets lower. You essentially replace fat with muscle. Generally, you burn fat evenly, but depending on your genetic disposition, it may be possible for you to loose fat from certain areas first.


I am 3 weeks post Emsculpt on my abdomen and I definitely see an increase in muscle mass/size of my ab muscles- there is more definition AND I am experiencing some fat loss there as well. They say results continue to improve to 6 weeks.

Looking again at your photos...it appears, to me, that you have certainly lowered your body fat %.. Honestly, everything looks nice and firm in a good way. From my experience and knowledge of gym training, you can accomplish any further desired improvements to your physique from a weight training regimen. If you're looking to increase the size of your glutes and get further lift and projection, I'd focus on compound exercises including Dumbbell Squats, DB Lunges, Hip Thrusts etc using a program where you progressively increase the load (weight of dumbbells) over time. Combine a program like that with healthy diet and you'll see visible results and increase in strength in as little as 6 weeks. Emsculpt can only increase muscle size so much before it reaches a plateau. The reason you reach the plateau, is because your body gets used to the stimulation and the stimulation is no longer great enough to tell your body it needs to build muscle. You can go much further in a gym. Thats why I say some people use this procedure as a "jump start." Good luck & I'm sorry you had a bad experience with the Doctor who provided Emsculpt treatment on you!

Yes it sounds like results happen with the abs.

I think it looks way better after: you’re much more slender. I’d say it worked.

The pics don’t do it justice. It is definitely not as good as before. The back side is way worse in person.

Thanks!

I agree. It looks better.

In jeans and workout pants, I have a flat, old lady butt now instead of the fuller look. It seems like the people who've had good success have had their abs done. Midway through my series I told the nurse I thought it was looking flatter and she agreed.

I had it done too and I see absolutely no results. I had it done three times and now I’m waiting for a few weeks before I do anything else because I don’t want to spend anymore money. I think it’s a bunch of crap. I have a flat butt too and I am thin.

Yes it looks a lot flatter than before.... your before butt is much much better and younger looking.

When I lost weight naturally, my rear quarters got flatter too
