WORTH IT$6,000
I went to SonoBello for a consultation and decided to go head on with the triplex laser liposuction on my love handles and upper and lower abdomen. I was very nervous until they gave me meds to calm me down , the problem did last long just was a little uncomfortable, they took out about 1500cc of fat , I feel very lumpy and bumpy right, sore as hell, my only concern will be to make sure my love handles become more smoother.

You get bigger before you get smaller. You will look great because you looked good before .

Compression garment is a MUST 24/7 for the 1st 6 weeks. Avoid salt at all costs as well. Benadryl cream/gel will help with itching...
