The staff at NuBody Concepts are fantastic. They made me feel very comfortable and excited about the process.

-The shots were a paint level to be expected...they're shots.
-The most painful part for me was the numbing spray. I made sure to breathe deeply which helped but was still a little intense. However, the doctor worked fast when she saw how uncomfortable I was.
-They gave me the incisions which was a very quick pain.
-The best part was the "loopy" medicine. Once that kicked in I didn't know what was happening lol. I slept, laughed and talked the whole time (about what I don't know). It made me so much more comfortable and less anxious!
-I went in at 8:30am and my mom picked me up between 11:30-11:45am. So it was fairly quick.

I am kind of scared that they couldn't get a lot of fat off BUT I was reminded BEFORE my procedure that everyone is different and results would vary. I decided to take that risk. I felt as if they could get anything off that would help my confidence and put me in the right direction to continue with my body goals on my own.

I'm not in very much pain, just sore. Yesterday, I took a really long nap and when I got up I was fine. Even started to do some chores and play with my dog.

So far, I'm okay. I do not have before pictures because I forgot to take them before I left home for the procedure. I will continue to update.

Hey congrats! Question: why you didn't just get regular lipo it would have been around the same price right?
March 16, 2017
That's a great question! I honestly never looked into doing a more invasive procedure because I've never even had surgery on anything before, not even medical. I've never even had a tattoo so going "under the knife" made me feel uneasy. I also went on a recommendation from one of my closest friends when she did it so I just went with that. I also was a little afraid of the down time. I'm still very active socially and professionally so I didn't want to be stuck at home with no one available to take care of me. On the other hand, regular lipo results look amazing. Anything that makes you feel better go for it!

Aqualipo- Day 4

Getting2MyGoal
I've stopped draining but the pain had been getting more intense from the swelling. It could be from the salt that I am eating in my food so I need to readjust my diet. I will be starting back on my supplements today and I am still taking the pain medication that I was prescribed. I am still remaining positive of my results.

I'm so glad the tenderness has gone DOWN! I must say, what you eat after the procedure means A LOT to how you recover. I haven't had any issues today.
