A Week after

WORTH IT$3,600
I have tried to keep a good collection of pictures in the exact same lighting so that comparisons can be made. Unfortunately, I have moved so the lighting is going to be different now. The bathroom light is a bit higher than the last one so the angle the light is hitting is more of a 70 degree angle instead of a 45. So I apologize that this picture is different from all of the previous updates.

I took this one at exactly a week after the large applicator on my lower abs. I think that because a lot of fat was already lost with the other treatments that more skin was able to be sucked into the machine this time. Maybe I am wrong, but when I look at the previous pictures of the treated area, that's how I feel.

Swelling to the lower and part of the upper is still present. You can tell that the left side of my body has more fat than the right. I am actually tightening my stomach muscles which makes the fat closer together and stick out more. But I will repost my first picture taken 5 days after my first treatment and then this most recent one and you will see a huge difference. I can't wait another month when I should start seeing the results!

Thanks for your detailed review. I live in Colorado so I might use the same location as you. I will do my belly and possibly my inner thighs. Is it worth it to do the thighs?

I just got my entire body done over yesterday and today. They got really high up on my inner thighs, like all the way up. I will start a thread with my results soon. Fingers crossed!

That's a hard question to answer... For me, my fat is concentrated at the very top. The problem is that the way the machine is designed, it has to be placed lower than that to grab the fat. I am not thrilled with the indent I got on my inner thighs LOWER than the area I wanted to target, but unfortunately that's where the machine had to sit to suck in the skin/fat. I am sure since everyone's body is differently shaped that it might work better on someone else.

Thank you for your response. My thighs are pretty skinny but my inner thighs at the very top are disproportionately larger. If the device doesn't accommodate this area, I definitely don't want to do it. I will stick with me belly which is may biggest insecurity anyway. Thanks again.

Hi - any updates on how your "line" is? I have two lines and am hesitant to have it redone because I'm not sure if it will make things better - or maybe worse!

You have my dream stomach! Looking great!

Lower Stomach Done Today

COMomof2
I ended up having my lower stomach done again down in AZ bc we have moved down here. I showed the lady the area and she suggested just using the small applicator, but I still feel like the fat expands pretty far to each side so I went with the large one. They had a mirror in the office so I took some pictures right after the device came off. It looks like it covered a pretty good area and is pretty well swollen (like it is every time for me). I will put a couple pictures up and then it's about a 5 week waiting game for me. Some people say they respond at 3 weeks...wish I was that way!

I am about 2 months post doing my side to front...

I am about 2 months post doing my side to front done. What I have noticed is that apparently the fat on my stomach is lopsided! When I look down it's easy to tell that there's more fat on my left side than right. So either I have always been this way, or the different sides of my body are responding differently. Either way, I believe at some point that I will have to do one extra treatment from my belly button towards the left side of my body.

I am having my lower abs done in a couple of months again. My lower stomach looks very big in comparison to the upper since I had the upper done. I will be in PHX for part of the summer and found a place down there that's doing 750 for a large area so I have locked in to that deal and have the procedure done at the end of May.

I will post pictures of the lopsidedness.

Hi, you really look great and I am glad on your behalf that the indent above your bellybutton was eliminated with the correcting treatment. But this is a bit strange; I have the same sort of loopsidedness that you have.. My right side is much smaller (I have about the same amount to pinch at each side as you have). For me, I'm sure I wasn't that loopy before treatment, but I have also explained it with an asymmetrical placement if the device - this I noticed immediately after the treatment, and could tell that the very centre of the suction was a few cm south-east of my bellybutton. I think I will have another treatment with a smaller applicator only on the left side of my lower belly. And it might be that our bodies reacts asymmetrical to treatment, but I will try to get it free of charge, since my treatment was quite expensive to begin with.. How's your inner thighs doing? I am thinking if doing those as well ;)

Hello, I don't know that I would do inner thighs again only bc it's very difficult to get the machine as high as I would like. They're uneven and I feel like I need to do more to even them out. But they're livable...I would rather focus my money on getting my stomach nice. I can worry about fixing thighs later!
