I was hoping to get a more feminine look
3 month update
6 week post op and emsculpt
I’m practically pain free at the moment, other then I noticed I’m a bit tender when I try to do tree pose in yoga with my foot pressing against the top of my thigh. Which I can see why, the pose is about pressing your foot as much into your thigh as you can while pressing your thigh back against your foot with that same force to find stability in the center. I just choose to do that pose with my foot on my calf instead and it’s all good. Pretty much everything else I can do, like lifting weights and jumping around doing cardio, stretching, hula hooping, etc. Nearly all of the numbness has gone away as well!
As always, Dr. Ringler and his staff were amazing at my post op. All of my questions were answered and I couldn’t be happier with my decision to come here!
The staff was extremely happy for me and friendly as I was checking out of my post op appointment and setting up my emsculpt ones. They remembered me and made time to say hi, complement me, and ask how I was doing! They reassured me I would love emsculpt and that they are super excited to see my results as well!
I decided to go ahead with a series of four emsculpt sessions on my abdominals to enhance the results even more. This morning was my first session and it was quite the experience. I know it’s super earlier to see results, especially after just one session, but I felt stronger during my yoga class tonight! I’m so excited what the other three session will bring and in a few months what I’ll see!! I even felt more energy after the treatment and was a nice wake up for the morning.
During my 30 minute session it was made sure that I felt comfortable at all times, which I really appreciate. I talked with the PA and also scrolled Facebook during this time which was really nice. The treatment wasn’t painful, but it was a very intense feeling. In the beginning it felt very ticklish, which I am very ticklish to begin with and kind of strange, but about half way through I was able to tune it out and it wasn’t bad at all. Overall I found it pretty tolerable.
Everything was explained to me on how it would work and the different series it would go through. We slowly worked the intensity up and by the time I got to 100 I was fully comfortable and knew what to expect.
Both surgical and non surgical, Dr. Ringler and his staff get a 5 out of 5 stars from me!!! They are so knowledgeable and kind!
I attached some videos/picture of the emsculpt session and also some updated photos of my results

A 5 Star Experience!
Today begins week three post Lipo of my back, abdominal, and thighs and I am so incredibly happy so far! I feel far more like myself and confident as well. I’m able to go out in clothes that I want to wear and not feel overwhelming self-conscious/depressed like before. I can’t say thank you enough and I know these aren’t even the final results yet. Most of my bruising is gone along with the pain. I was able to do obstacle courses/climbing in the trees and zip lining at an event with my work all day yesterday without much pain. I have the slightest feeling of soreness at times and some tightness in my legs, but it’s nothing that I notice very often or stops me from doing things. It’s more so when I try to do semi demanding things, such as modified vinyasa yoga flows or zip-lining/walking at work for long hours at a time.
I’m so excited for the next couple of months as swelling continues to go down and the final results start to set in more. I also couldn’t be more pleased with Dr. Ringler and his staff. They were incredibly polite, professional, and reassuring. I have never had surgery before and was extremely nervous, but despite that, I stuck with my inner feelings of having this done and tried to focus on trusting all those who were involved to get me through it all. I am so glad I did because this was not only one of the biggest decisions of my life but one of the more impactful ones as well! Dr. Ringler and his staff answered my many questions, which really helped ease my anxiety and made me feel more comfortable, which I appreciate so very much.
I was hoping to get a more feminine look as I’ve always been on the muscular side and have had issues that caused my body to hold onto fat despite exercise and diet in the past. From the day I came home from the hospital, my expectations were already far exceeded and I am more than happy with my decision to have Dr. Ringler as my surgeon!
