I had a two-month follow-up with Dr. Nemeth on 1/14/21 and she gave me the green light to stop wearing compression garments. HALLELUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! The second stage garment was TIGHT and really bothersome at night. Anyway, changes over the last month have been more subtle but I am still shrinking (at least around the waist), slowly but surely. My measurements are as follows:
New Measurements (again taken in pictured undergarments):
Waist (low-navel-narrow): 39-34-31.75
Hips (widest area): 43
Underbust (not expanded/expanded): 33.5/36
Full Bust (not expanded/expanded): 41/44
Overbust (not expanded/expanded): 38/41
Overbust including upper arms/shoulders: 52
Upper thigh (thickest area): 25
Upper arm (thickest area): 14.5
Weight: 208.5
Old Measurements for comparison:
Waist (low-navel-narrow): 39-34.5-32.5
Hips (widest area): 43
Underbust (not expanded/expanded): 33.5/36
Full Bust (not expanded/expanded): 41/44
Overbust (not expanded/expanded): 38/41
Overbust including upper arms/shoulders: 52
Upper thigh (thickest area): 25
Upper arm (thickest area): 14.5
Weight: 207.5
I am really happy with the way my waist and inner thighs are looking. My upper arms and axial area are showing less dramatic improvement than I was hoping for, but there was far less compression there than around my torso and legs, so I am hoping that those areas will improve further as time goes on. I plan to try to lose an additional 10-15 pounds before my next appointment in May, which should also help. I took another set of photos in the same clothes as my before pics, which I think shows quite a dramatic improvement in overall contours under clothing!

Four weeks out and feeling great!
namenloseblondeDecember 13, 2020
I am four weeks out from surgery and feeling terrific! I saw Dr. Nemeth a few days ago and she was very pleased with my results and progress. She said I could stop wearing the strap around my chin (THANK GOD - this was my least favorite part of the entire experience) but that I should move into a second-stage garment for the rest of my body and wear it for another 4-5 weeks, until my next appointment. I was REALLY looking forward to sleeping without compression but I'll live ;). I took photos and measurements today and I really can't believe how great things are already looking and feeling. My thigh chub rub is virtually gone and the bra and belly overhang is vastly improved. Dr. Nemeth said there is still a lot of swelling to go down so I think I am going to be over the moon when it's all said and done!!!!

Forgot to mention, I am down 6 lbs from my previous weight. Not sure how much of this is attributable to the surgery and how much is due to improvements in diet over the past month.

The FDA states the device/technology has been recalled. See the information below which can also be found on https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfRes/res.cfm?ID181308.

Thank you for the update! Your results look great. I love your curvy contoured shape! Do you know if your tummy will get flatter than it is now? It's definitely much improved- my tummy is similar to your pre-surgery size- and I am hoping to get it as flat as possible. My waist is - 40 over my navel and 36 a few inches above. Would love to see a loss of 4 inches in both but hoping I am not being to greedy or unrealistic.
Did you do your inner thighs? They look much improved too.

Thank you! I did do my inner thighs and I am SO thrilled with the results there. I had several other surgeons tell me that they wouldn't do lipo there unless I was going to do a thigh lift, because my skin was already too crepey and they didn't want to make it worse. The Renuvion REALLY helped - no more chub rub! As for the belly, Dr. Nemeth said I can expect it to continue to shrink and flatten. There are still quite a few hard/lumpy bits under the skin, which she said will soften and get smaller, and in general she said that the lower tummy (below the belly button) will be the last place to reach its full potential, so I am just going to be patient with that!

Awesome- I've seen about 6 surgeons and they all said the same about the inner thigh- thigh lift is the only solution. I definitely didn't want a scar there since the whole reason why I want that area fixed is to wear a bathing suit without a cover up!
I am also so happy that Dr. Nemeth said she could flatten my tummy without a tuck as I was worried about the scar and recovery. Please keep posting pics of your progress!

I’m so happy that you posted this review and had great results. I’m in my mid 20’s and hoping to contour my body with lipo and fat transfer. I too used to be an obese kid and have lost over 60 lbs. I’ve been persistently told I’d need a tummy tuck if I got lipo, but I’m willing to give this a go first bc I hate the ugly scar and brutal recovery.

Procedure done!
namenloseblondeNovember 18, 2020
I survived the procedure and everything seems to have gone well! I'm very bruised and sore, though not as much so as I was anticipating. My chin actually doesn't hurt at all, although the head wrap I am wearing is incredibly annoying. Arms and legs aren't too painful either - back/torso is definitely the worst. I took percocet for the first 24 hours afterwards but I don't think I will need it today. Going in tomorrow for my first post-op!
