For years, I have been trying to lose resistant fat in my abdominal areas for a long time, years to be exact. I tried every diet and boot camp program out there. So I decided just to "cut" it off. I saw a few commercials about Aqualipo® and NuBody Concepts and decided to go for a consultation. Lindsey was my consultant and she told me that I was a perfect candidate for the procedure because my fat was on top of my muscles and she also told me that they were running a special. The prices were really reasonable and I decided to give it a chance. I mean what did I have to lose?
I decided to have the upper and lower abdominals, bra rolls, and love handles treated. My procedures were performed in two separate appointments, one week apart.
Abs procedure
I had three incisions for this procedure. I honestly can't remember how long the procedure took because I was alert, but not really. They removed approximately 4000ml of fat from my abs. Once they were done, my incisions were bandaged and I was put into my compression garment. They drained for a day. There was a lot of swelling and I was in a fair amount of pain. I was told my procedure was a little different because they removed a whole lot of fat. The pain didn't last long. I was able to go to work within a couple of days.
Love handles and Bra Rolls
I had more incisions with this procedure and it was a little for painful because I was still sore and swollen from the previous procedure and I had a lot more to remove from these areas. In both procedures, some of my fat cells didn't loosen up until the Smartlipo® (laser) was performed, and the doctor had to repeat liposuction in some areas. It looks like 9700 ml of fat were remove this time. Needless to say, I was in a lot more pain that the first one, but it was managed with pain medications. I was able to go to work in 3 or 4 days.
6 Weeks Later
I will say that I have seen amazing results. I still have some swelling, soreness and bruising and ITCHING. I was told because there was so much fat removed that it was going to take longer than six weeks to heal. So far I am very happy with my results. I am down one pants size so far.

I too when to NuBody in Memphis for the AquaLipo March 2014. It has been a little over a year, I have continued with my exercise 3-4 days a week of spin class, blast class, zumba, and/or weight training trying to mix it up. Yet my results from the procedure seem to be short lived. Last summer, I was soo pleased! I really could see and feel the difference. My clothes fit better, I was fitting back into some of my size 10's. I had my bra fat and side love handles done but not the front, but it has always been flat. But not any more, not only did my front begin to protrude in January, but now my love handles and bra fat seem to be back( using my clothes as a measure). Not sure why. I can see and feel my improved muscle tone, my calorie count is the same or even a little less than it was this time last year, I haven't smoked tobacco in over a year, my exercise regiment has gotten better, but my stomach is worse. Has any one else experience similar issues a year after AquaLipo? I wore my compression garment well passed the 6 weeks. I wore it about 13 weeks. I continue to wear a compression garment when I work out especially around my stomach. I just don't know what happened...
We'd love to see some pics!
