WORTH IT$9,995
I am a 35 year old mother of 2-both c-secs-that is about turn 36 in 2 weeks. I have been miserable and self conscious about my body since I was pregnant with my first child in 2004. So much so that I have not allowed anyone, even poor husband included, to see me standing up fully naked since before I had my first child!! Then I came across one of Elite's ads and was instantly intrigued by the "no needle no scalpel no stitches". After the c-sections I didn't want to damage my body even further with more ugly scars. Well after watching every single video and reading every testimonial I made an appointment at the Houston location. My youngest is now 8 years old and with my 36th birthday coming I was ready to get my sexy back! Lol after meeting with the friendly staff and having an amazingly comfortable convo with the honest and obviously experienced and talented Dr. Blome I KNEW this was meant to be!! I decided on going with a full abdomen (which with them includes flanks hips) and lower back (which makes the booty pop!) and the amazing friendly Ms. Channing was able to get me scheduled the following Thursday (which was 6/30). Today I am only 48 hours post op...and was terrified to take off the garment not knowing what to expect...thought there was no way id see any results so soon....BUT I AM SO EXCITED AND SHOCKED ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE THAT I HAD TO SHARE IT WITH THE WORLD!! SOOOO happy and can't wait to see more results 10 days from now, then 3 months and so on and so on. I know I will probably still have a pooch from my previous csections but Dr.Blome did an amazing job contouring the rest of my body to where I don't even care about it anymore!! He was open and honest and realistic about the results so I was already prepared not to be "perfect" with just LIPO...but this is a big deal to me and I cried when I unveiled for first time for shower time today. I would recommend this outstanding doctor and staff to anyone and everyone looking for a dramatic difference and a huge uplift in spirit! Can't really say the procedure was "painless" but it wasn't painful. Just uncomfortable but not unbearable and as soon Dr. B was very attentive and concerned about my comfort the entire time and did a great time making me Comfy (with elite you are actually awake the whole time! No complications from general anesthesia to worry about which was great. Best decision I've EVER made and BEST bday present I have EVER given myself lol

He's been so supportive - always told me I was "perfect as is" and even though I did this for me, the "Wow" that escaped his lips when he helped me get the compression garment off felt great to hear and was priceless! Lol :)

I'm having the same procedure done next week. I'm nervous but excited. Thanks for sharing. I'll post a pre op soon and will update my progress.

Good luck! I was a nervous wreck too! My biggest concern was if it would be worth or if it would really be a big difference...and if you picked a good doc then the answer is YES! 100% worth it! Can't wait to see your reviews. Hang in there!

Hi. I have a flat tummy but some loose skin that crinkles when I sit down or bend over. When I bend over it looks like a paper bag crumbled. When I stand up it looks good. Do you think Laser lipo would help.???

Hello! Unfortunately no I don't. Actually have more loose skin now than I did before the procedure. Doc said that to get rid of that prob we would need to do a tummy tuck, not lipo.

How long is the recovery?

Well 1-4 days afterwards is the toughest, especially when switching from standing/sitting/laying and forget about sleeping comfortably - but pain is nowhere near excruciating, in my opinion, very tolerable. I was able to drive myself to 1 week follow up appointment. After that I was just moderately sore for 1-2 weeks and very mildly for 3-6. Everyone's different - it just depends on each persons own pain tolerance level...I am not a baby nor a badass lol I consider my tolerance somewhere in between ;)

Dr. B answered all my questions and seemed as surprised as I was how good things are looking already so early on lol just love this guy! Receptionist & nurse welcomed me back by first name, I swear they make you feel SO comfy here! I'm SO glad I picked these amazing people! Will make sure to stick to a good diet, start light exercise again now so I continue to see more even better results as swelling starts going down more (still super swollen, especially on back which is totally normal for now)! I can't wait to see in 3 months! Wish I had a crystal ball - I'm so impatient & excited lol
p.s. First 3 days kinda rough, but now I am almost back to feeling normal physically - I'd say 75-80% Still a little discomfort when getting up/sitting down, but honestly it just feels like soreness after gym at this point. I was able to drive myself to appointment with no trouble, and can sleep a lot easier now then before. Switching positions still a little uncomfy, but really was expecting so much worse, that this is not too bad at all...well nothing us women can't handle easily ;)

Seeing a big difference, but really hope to see more as more weeks pass...especially in the lower abdomen area and frontal view. Again Dr. B was very honest upfront and warned me I wouldn't be flat with just lipo cuz of my age & since I've had 2 C sections, suggested I'd probably want to consider a TT if that was my goal - but I doubt I would want that TBH.

Still some numbness in back and abdomen, and laying down or sitting too long can still be uncomfy and I get sore sometimes-but nowhere near as much as beginning.

Feel like lower abs were flatter at first week than now...I've watched my diet, and have been exercising 20 min a day every day. This week I switched to using compression only 12 hours a day instead of full time since its been 4 weeks. Maybe this could be reason? Is there still swelling at this point?

I've already lost 4 inches in waist so far. Just wondering...Has anyone experienced a peak of improvements at a certain stage, or is this what I can expect to stay with? Would love some feedback!
