Vanquish before Lipo

I hope that everyone here who has Vanquish is happy... But I am not. So I have decided that instead of wasting more time and money I will bite the bullet and go down the Vaser root.

To that ends I have just had an ultra sound and was told that the Vanquish has caused scar tissue, within the fat. This isn't a very big deal, but will make it slightly more difficult to dislodge the fat.

have you had the vaser yet?
July 25, 2015
Hi, yes I did, 3 months ago now. But at the moment don't think I can recommend it. :(
July 26, 2015
That's a shame. Please update if any changes? Has it left any visible marks?

If you click on my name, you should be able to see my Vaser story so far and also more pics. Yes I have visible marks, and wish I had questioned that beforehand. I have actually had keyhole surgery before, and these scars are worse, so I think it was how they were done and a lack of consideration for black skin.

But in general, I am still healing so it may improve. but its not an easy journey, physically or emotionally.

Miserable is an understatement...

So... Vanquish was a waste of time and money and I do not really think it is worth me loading more pics as there is no change. And whats worse... I consulted a doctor with regards to doing Microlipo and was told that it would not be worth it, as I do not have enough fat... and it is actually muscle lacktivity (?). Although I have had abdominal surgery, I do not have any stretch marks and have not had children. I just don't get it and I am really disheartened.

I know I do not want a Tummy tuck as I cannot afford the time off work and I live by myself and the recovery is not acceptable.... especially with no one to take care of me. I do not really want to lose weight all over, as I look gaunt and older when I am skinny, and if what he says is right... this won't help me either as it's not the fat. Knowing that I have to stick with this body and the deterioration for the rest of my life is depressing and really has be down. Any advise ???

this time do skin caliper test, before after Vanquish. Try second set of Vanquish at 200 w, 100% penetrance x 45 min x 4. keep well hydrated before and after.

Not sure what the Caliper test is supposed to do, but I've actually had an ultra sound since. And as I suspected, I definitely have fat on top of the muscles which would be suitable for Vaser Lipo. I won't be throwing bad money and time after good...well unless it was going to be free.

I'm very concerning about your posting. Recently I made an appointment to try the procedures but now are very confused. Do they offer any body contour wraps after each treatment because the wraps helps to flush the fats and contours the body. Some posts stated that if they didn't achieve their ideal look that the Doctor was willing to provide extra treatments at no cost. Did you Doctor offer to assist you in any way and did he/she not know before starting treatment that you had muscle lacktivity , wherever that is. Post back

Treatment is finished and waiting begins

So I had my last (4th) a few days ago now and had another hot spot. I have two areas of tenderness one on each side... I'm hoping the pain will mean extra gain, when I finally see some results. They are sore to the touch and also when I do some movement, but definitely bearable and would not put me off doing it again.

My therapist told me she could see some difference the last time, but I don't know. If nothing else it has improved my water intake... but still hoping for much, much more. Will keep you all posted.
