How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

11 MONTHS AFTER CS: VERY PLEASED WITH THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE
So It's been 11 months since I had CS on my abdomen (big applicator) and side flanks. I am still super happy with the results, nothing I had tried before ae me such results. I tried Endermology 3 times (it sort of worked, I just felt my skin had better elasticity but no reduction in measurements whatsoever). I tried some laser-massage thingy (which I understood as a type of endermology with heat) which did not work at all for me.
As I had posted some time ago, I want to space out my CS sessions (even if I want to treat different areas now), a few reasons why:
* Skin sagginess: depending on your skin tone, it can be a CS side effect, so I think patience and spacing treatments over time is always a wise thing when it comes to letting your body and skin recuperate.
* Appreciate results: I don't think I could truly appreciate my results if I did treatments to often. THis allows my to evaluate & appreicate my investment.
* Financial cost: it allows me time to save up and not go overboard, I only treat myself to CS if I can pay it cash. I am afraid of monthly payments, if I cannot afford it now, I will wait to do it.
That said, I want to do CS on my back-flanks (I guess its my lower back area right before my bum), right where the jeans hit me, as now that the front and front flanks have decreased in volume, the back looks bigger in comparison. My skin there has the same fatty-quality that my stomach had (when I pinch it I cannot pinch just a bit of skin, I can touch a thick layer of fat under the skin), so I am hoping for the same results as I had in my abdomen.
I will post once I have booked my CS appointment.

Exercise and Green Juices are paying off
I wondered during my 7 week mark what how my results would be affected if I exercised and dieted...
So for the past 2 weeks I have been doing a high intensity interval training (most popular as teh "insanity workout") BUT I have been doing it only 3 times per week (so 6 classes so far). I must say it was difficult to get back to any routine but I enrolled my friends and we are motivating each other. I can feel my jeans a little looser on my bottom and saddlebaggs.
As my diet is concerned, I have been incorporating GREEN JUICES in the morning which consist of any raw green leaf (spinach, kale, etc.) mixed with a fruit such as mandarin wedges (in water or juice, not syrup) which taste awesome, otherwise I use pineapple or any other juicy fruit at hand. I drain the juice and remove the foam, so I get a clear dark green juice which to my surprise tastes so good that even my 7 year old nephew who refused categorically to try it, loved it when he did. So give it a try. Other than the juices I keep eating normally, eating out 2-3 times a week max.
I cannot say if my diet has helped me but maybe the exercise has? In any case, I wanted to exercise again to make sure my skin did not become saggy.

14 weeks Photos! Couldn't be happier
To think that before taking these pictures I was unsure if I had continued to have results, is crazy. The change is so progressive that I couldn't notice it on a day to day basis. SO glad I did it, so worth it.
Provider Review
Dermatologic Surgeon, Board Certified in Dermatology
3659 S. Miami Ave., Miami, Florida
I did not meet with Dr Bowes. The procedure was done by Nurse Specialist Maylen, she was very professionnal and responded to all my questions, checked up on me numerous times during the procedures and was kind. Maylen has called me to check up on me, she a few times before she got a hold of me, so I appreciated her insistence as it is an international call after all. She asked me numerous questions and wanted to hear how I was doing, if I had had pain or other symptons. So am pleased, will have to go see them in October for my after procedure consultation and take my after pictures.
