WORTH IT$4,899
So it's been 2 weeks now & I'm still a little bruised & swollen but no pain. I've had to wear the compression garment 24/7 until today & now for the next week I only have to wear it at night but I kind of feel naked without it. I've been trying to do cardio but with the compression garment on after about 15 minutes I get too hot & have to stop so at least now I'll be able to work out without it. They said no strenuous exercise for 2 weeks but I'm still going to take it easy for about another week & just stick to cardio for now

I wish I'd gotten your comment last week because I already ordered a smaller one. I wasn't going to but now that the swelling is going down & it probably got stretched when I was swollen its too big

I'm loving how the love handles came out so far & my thighs are starting to take shape. I cant wait for all the swelling to go down

Awesome! Once your swelling goes down it would be great to see an update photo, if you didn't mind!

Hi Jessie! I'm going to Dr. Fondacaro in 8 days for upper and lower abs. How was your surgical experience. Anything you can tell a nervous newbie?

My surgury went so smoothly & now I'm debating getting more. Dr. Fondacaro is great & makes you feel very comfortable. I was nervous & excited when I went for my surgery but they give you a little something to relax & the procedure is pretty painless. Good luck & definitely post before & after pics.

Thanks, I'm probably 15lbs heavier now cuz I went on a crazy diet after but I Couldn't maintain it & my love handles still look good but I'm not as happy with the thighs. My saddle bags aren't bad but my inner thighs have a strange shape. I got an email from them offering 35% off smart lipo so it made me want my thighs done again but its not valid for touch ups. I'm hoping because they're so much cheaper so I might just give him a call after the summer cuz the compression garment is not something you wanna wear all summer

they removed 1300 from my love handles, abdomen, arms, inner thigh, front thigh/knee area. I was upset it wasn't more!

I just looked at your pics & you just had a little bit of a tummy so I could see them only getting that from you. Your thighs looked great before but I understand thinking ahead & wanting your thighs to look as good as your stomach after they did it.

I had the surgery Saturday afternoon & now its Monday morning & I'm up & getting ready for work. There is still a little discomfort but not really enough to stay home from work.

So its 3 in the morning & I've been up for about 2 hours. I'm not really in that much pain but its enough to keep me awake but I also passed out by like 7:30 last night. The only thing I have for pain is extra strength Tylenol because the doctor didn't think I'd need much more. If it gets too bad later I can call him & he'll get me something stronger but I think this should be fine. I've already leaked through my dressings & the back of my compression garment looks like is covered in blood but I'm going to have to wait until someone else wakes up & can help me with it. I think I can get it on & off by myself but I don't want to risk hurting myself. He gave me what looks like a wee wee pad to sleep on & I'm so glad he did or my bed would be ruined. I'm not sure if I'll need more but I'm going to go to the store & pick some up just in case.
Hi there, welcome and thanks so much for your detailed review!
Are you seeing nay results yet, or will it be a few months before those come through?
Would love to see some photos, if you have any you feel comfortable sharing.
I can definitely see a difference at your 2 weeks post-op photo. There's more of a defined shape to your waist. Hopefully with more time your results will get even better!
The panties may be helping the difference a little, as they are wider and can hold more in, but I do see slight changes.
I'll keep an eye out for you updates and how you're progressing!
