Late 2021 - Still good!

Still looking solid at almost 38 years old in late 2021, still very happy with the results! You need to stay relatively fit so you don't end up looking like a fat person with obviously-fake abs (Google for pics of Darryn Lyons; it looks horrible), but honestly you probably don't need to work out as much as I do (about 2-3 times a week). Just stay fairly slim via cardio and some mild workouts if that's all you wanna do, and you'll keep looking ripped!

Mid-2020, Still Going strong!

Well I've caught up on my fitness (plenty of quarantine time in my garage over the last ~6 months) and my abs still look fantastic over 2.5 years later! Honestly I barely work out my abs (just enough to keep a strong healthy core strength), and this has freed me up so much to focus on working on my arms, shoulders, chest, legs, and everything else and it's done wonders. Would 100% do this again!

6 Months Post-Op

Just some comparison pics; I found myself at the same tanning salon as I took the Before pics, so I took some corresponding After pics - crappy overhead lighting and all - just for direct comparison. Quite a difference for sure; very happy so far!

Provider Review

Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
32406 Coast Hwy., Laguna Beach, California

After researching several major players in the lipoplasty arena (via Smart Lipo, VASER, etc.) including Dr. Jason Emer, Dr, Arian Mowlavi, Dr. Henry Mentz, Dr. Vincent Marin, and a several others, I ultimately settled upon Dr. Mowlavi for several reasons. One is his obviously-amazing results. Another is his specific specialization in male ab-etching and high-detail VASER work, and yet another reason is his geographical proximity to me (about an hour north of San Diego where I am). There are closer surgeons (Dr. Marin is right here in San Diego and seems to do great work as well), but no one who specializes in high-definition etching work (mostly they just do smoother forms, like mommy-makeovers for women or just general lipo procedures). Aside from his posted results and very informative and interactive web site which convinced me that he fully understands exactly what the male (or very fit female) body needs to look shredded and great (Here: https://drlaguna.com/high-definition-liposuction-for-men/ ), talking to Dr. Mowlavi in person only convinced me further that he and his team are the professionals I was looking for. I've had several surgeons in the past for various other procedures, and in my experience the physicians who are really enthusiastic and passionate about their trade like Dr. M is are usually the best by a wide margin. Dr. Mowlavi is not only very knowledgeable in his field and very capable of applying it to your specific situation/body type, but also very personable, optimistic, and upbeat in general. Of course only time will tell, but I'm convinced he is possibly the best body-sculpting surgeon on the West Coast and one of the best in the world.
