So after my last visit with cortes and I was told I LOOK Great!!! I knew damn well I had gained weight. I asked if I could have a revision in my back because it was uneven and I still had the dog ears that he said would go away. He told me it was from weight gain. REALLY! Then when I asked how much it would be he had the audacity to want to charge me $4000! UMMMM no I don't think so. when I started gaining weight it went right to my ab area and my butt. Side note my hips are uneven not bad but I can tell and it is noticeable in certain outfits if you focus. Haha

I wasn't really feeling my results and I felt like he could have done more lipo on my abs. So I went to a different Dr. to have lipo done. I went to a weight loss clinic with a friend and they kept showing this commercial about some kind of smart lipo. So I decided to ask him about it. Plus it didnt hurt that they were running a special for 50% off upper and lower abs. $2000 wasn't a bad price to get my confidence back. He told me that my upper abs were never touched. i kind of had a feeling they weren't because I was only flat in the morning by evening I was all poked out up top. So scheduled my surgery and I was awake the entire time I listened to my music and my audio book. i talked with the nurses for most of it. They were great! He really took his time he even wanted to do my lower flank area and I told him that was GOOD fat. LOL he laughed. He did do my upper flanks to make me look curvier. He did a awesome job! unfortunately I have gained about 8-10 lbs since. But the difference is my abs are still flat! That's because he cleared out most of my fat cells and the fat won't return so fast. But it has found another area to reside in. LOL My ass is out of control. I can not wear not a pair of my jeans. My husband loves it. So do other on lookers. LOL At least I can still wear small tee shirts. i am very happy with what he did. I'm thinking about getting my pubic area done because it is a little too chunky for me. He did offer but I for some reason decided against it. He told me I can come back if I want to and he ill do it. The only thing I hate is the scars on my back where cortes did the lipo. I can not have my back out. So no bikini's for me :-(

Hey Ladie, Try using epifoam. It smooths out the skin and prevents the garment from digging in your skin which can cause your skin to heal with ripples and folds. It also adds compression. BOTTOMLINE, if you want the ULTIMATE upper and lower ab/back compression purchase the ARDYSS BODYMAGIC. I swear by them (I'm a proud owner of 6)! There is a website that sells them for$88! Which is a steal because if you buy them from a Ardyss distributor they cost $150! Go to YouTube to watch ladies demonstrate how they lose 3 sizes in 15mins.

www.figurebydesign.com this is for the $89.99 Ardyss Bodymagic garment. The epifoam sheets can be ordered on amazon. The ladies that left reviews stated that the sheets washed well also, and totally smoothed out their skin.
