Just Did Liposonix And not worth it no results, scam!..- Baumann research Institute Miami, FL

I just did Liposonix 2 days ago on my stomach area. I am not over weight just had one inch of fat that wanted to smooth out. Ok so the procedure is extremely painful! I don't cry often but Liposonix had me crying of pain. It was like laser hair removal multiplied 10 times worse. They do give you a Xanax and a pain pill to take before hand but that really didn't help me. I suggest take those pills at least one hour before so they kick in asap. Again the pain was traumatizing. You feel the burn every second of it. They don't administer anesthesia because it would make the price of the procedure too expensive.

They want to market this thing like if its quick, no down time, non invasive. But anesthesia should be administered. Horrible pain!!! cant tell you enough. As of today (2days later) I don't see any difference. its like I did nothing. Not the slightest difference and this is making me nervous. I did not bruise that much because I took Arnica four days in advance and still taking it. I called the office today and asked them how long does it take for the results to show and they told me 3-6 months! I will keep you guys posted.

I also had Liposonix done on my arms and "bra fat" in back and certainly had more than an inch to smooth out. While I did not find the pain as excruciating as you did, I waited all summer (May 30-September 11) before going back to the doctor's office to show them it had not worked one iota. It was very disappointing, to say the least. I ended up getting SmartLipo a couple of weeks ago and have to wear a compression garment for six weeks, but I think the results are going to be worth the extra expense.

I'm 3 months post and have had no change. Like you, not overweight just had a stubborn area. Can't believe they advertise this scam

I heard you don't lose weight only the fat!? Right?....

It has been 12 days since I did liposonix and I see no results. I can't help think this was a scam and I fell for it. I have had lipo and smart lipo before and you instantly see the difference and as time goes by the results get better and better. With Liposonix you don't see results! It is a waste of money and time and so painful. I am not over weight. I didnt even have enough fat to be a candidate for lipo on my stomach and still liposonix did NOT work! Can't believe I wasted 1,000$!!! So upset so disappointed. My advice to any one considering this is to NOT do Liposonix, do lipo or smart lipo where the fat is actually extracted out of your body.

Hi Nina, I'm sorry that you had a bad experience. I have the treatment done twice and also work for the Doctor who performs the treatment. I had great results and the patients that have come back have also. I had a patient that came in yesterday and its been 7 weeks since her treatment and she lost 3 inches in her abdomen and 3 1/2 in her flanks. It is way too soon for you to see results it takes 8-12 weeks for full results. Please be patient depending on the settings they used you should have great results.

Thank Hope I sure hope you are right and I am wrong. They used 60 Joules the highest possible and it hurt like hell. I really want it to work.

I had the treatment done, and coul not really tell either way. I think the initial measurements were not consistently done with the end measurements, so it could be that I might have lost that inch, BUT 3 to 31/2 inches that is a gross exageration...not even the manufacturer or any doctor claim more than 1 inch loss

December 9, 2012
if they used that much you with through total hell when they done it .......the google the low and high which means low pain and high pain
December 9, 2012
i know a person who went through this with DR Beautiful in tn and when through pure hell. Watch how they say min pain pure BS.......
October 4, 2012
Hi there, Everything I've read and research and even the doctor has told me that it takes a minimum of 8 weeks. I'm just at eight weeks and i've noticed almost an inch on my waist.
October 6, 2012
I think this is a scammer. You either HAD LIPO OR YOU DIDN'T! But it can't be both......12 Days is not even close to 12 Weeks....If you only paid $1000, well, yeah, you might have got a "lemon".... Yur bad..
October 6, 2012
btw no need to be rude. What is wrong with people these days? They are in a bad mood and hide behind their computers to bully others.. Wow... Please stop it I am being real and true and trying to help others no need to attack me

First and foremost Debater, of course you can have both lipo and liposonix. Lipo was done on a different area two years ago, my hips and I had smart lipo one year ago on my lower pelvic ares. Liposonix was done on the area of my UPPER stomach where I DIDN'T ever do any lipo or smart lipo, I paid 1000 for a small area and it was a special because they wanted to complete a long study. This was a study price. I am still waiting for the results. So far don't see the difference at all.. I'm told I should wait. We will see what happens. I want more than anyone for this to work, I went thru a lot of pain for it not to work. Let's see if in 3 months there's a difference
December 28, 2012
Actually Nina u r the one who is rude, aggressive and generally not very forthcoming with details. Please understand that people need facts not feelings on the procedure. This isn't a forum for trolling. Keep it classy and self controlled
September 23, 2013
I got a bad one also. No lost but $1900.00.
October 23, 2012
Hi there, any updates? Do you still feel the procedure was a scam?
November 12, 2012
So still I cant see any difference. I don't recommend. I would also be careful on believing all these great reviews because they can be written by bias people whom either work at the clinics or want to fool people. Liposonix didn't work for me. Traditional Liposuction where the fat is actually removed and not left "for your own body to remove" is the surest way to get best results. I wasted my money and time and went through horrible pain for NOTHING. And all that having to wait 6 months to see any results is a bunch of B.S. Even the ppl who performed the procedure for me told me that Liposonix doesn't for for everyone that they didn't see results in most people.
November 12, 2012
Nina, Have you gone back to have your measurements done yet?
November 12, 2012
From what I know it can take 12 weeks for you to see the results. It seems as though you have been very negative from the beginning. Why would you do something you were unsure of? Maybe you should have researched it BEFORE! Perhaps stop bad mouthing it and give it time to work, and then give a correct review.
November 12, 2012
@jch fuuny how you think your psychic and assume that I did not research this lol! OF COURSE I researched this before I did it but guess what? there was not a lot of info or testimonies about Liposonix when I was researching and thus why I am writing a detailed review, step by step month by month so people can get a REAL HONEST review. Furthermore if you did read my reviews you can clearly see that I have been hopeful and went in with the highest hopes. There is difference BETWEEN BEING NEGATIVE AND BEING REAL, I am BEING REAL. It has not worked foe me period. I am writing my experience. This is my review and so stop telling me what to do and what not to do. get a life
November 12, 2012
I did go back to get some measurements and they weren't sufficient. My upper right stomach was a micro inch smaller but i believe that was due to my working out. I have one more measurement to go.. thanx : )
November 13, 2012
First, No I am not psychic just responding to your comment. Second, there are over 50 reviews on this site and many on other sites. You are right ,this is your review, and I would not tell you what to do. Hopefully in time you will see good results.
November 15, 2012
Thanks for the update, Nina923. Sharing your experience is really helpful!
November 26, 2012
Amen sister! I had mine done August 1st and haven't seen squat. I unfortunately was not part of a study so I wasted $5500. I tried to do research upfront but being a new procedure there was not much available so I relied heavily on the physician recommendation. People hold on to your money...its not worth it if you expect to see changes
September 28, 2013
That is great so they just take our money, our time and the pain. They should not get away with this. Even the doctor knew it did not work.
September 28, 2013
Did not work for me should bad this is not wright.
September 12, 2014
I agree about the great reviews. It's been 12 weeks for me and - nothing. A total rip-off. Too bad I didn't pay closer attention to all the negative reviews before I shelled out the money.
