I need to correct my earlier review. I had the timing confused. I am at 5 weeks and have not noticed any difference but I am not yet at 12 weeks. So that is why I haven't noticed a difference. They did 30 jules 5 times in each area so if we do it again they may bump it up and reduce the number of passes but I still have a while to go.

After liposuction I realized I needed some non-invasive liposonix on my upper back area by where my bra is (very little fat but drives me nuts) and that sides of my ab area towards the back. I don't have a muffin top but it wasn't quite as trim as the abdominal front area where I had lipo. I had the procedure March 3, 2014 and honestly it is painful in the areas where you have very little to remove. The side abs/lower back of hip area I felt nothing but the top of the back - yikes. I was on 2 vicodin and 2 valium lol and felt it. It was not unbearable just uncomfortable but not pain free.

Thanks for sharing.  So I know you said you haven't seen results yet- but can you tell that you had this treatment at all?  Any small changes?

I can't see any difference and it's been 93 days. I'm having photos taken next week but truthfully it did nothing.

I'm sorry- that is so disappointing.  Have you talked to the doctor's office about it at all?
May 22, 2014
Yes and they corrected me. I guess I was only a month a week in not 90 days but I had had another procedure done lol and got the timing confused. So at July 12 I will know the full results. I am not noticing any shedding or shrinking at all yet but I'm 5 weeks not 12 weeks again. I couldn't remove my comment - sorry! They did 30 jules with 5 passes rather than 50 jules a pass because I could feel it big time due to the fact I'm doing it in very slightly padded areas and am not seriously overweight. If we do it again they will bump it up but hopefully it isn't necessary...we shall see. Not every procedure works on every body type. If Lyposonix does not work I will try Laser Lipo as cool sculpting tends to come with a bit more residual pain....if I could pay just to have liposcution i would but Dr. Turk and I agree suction is really for major sucking out not very slight sculpting.

That is good news- I hope you see more results these next few weeks.  It must be a relief to know you still have some time before you will see your final results.
