I am a 30 year old healthy female, I weight 120...

I am a 30 year old healthy female, I weight 120 lbs height is 5’-5” I have a very lean body. I eat healthy and exercise on a regular basis. I do spinning, running, yoga, Pilates and when on vacation I ski or swim. I have always thought that liposuction was for the lazy, and people that just lacked self control to eat. That all changed when I hired a personal trainer to help me get rid of my sattle bags and the bumps and lumps on my legs and nothing absolutely nothing worked! I paid a pretty penny over the years on personal training and nothing got rid of the cottage cheese on my butt and legs.

Last Tuesday I had my outer thighs and back of the legs done with Cellulaze, Dr. Pakeman explained in detail the procedure and expectations, it’s been 7 days from my Cellulaze treatment and I can see my skin being smooth and tighter. I do have some bruising, but Dr. Pakeman had explained it to me before hand. I only took 2 days of work, and I was fine, well, I was soar but then again doing squats and all sort of leg exercise I’m used to being soar. I am wearing the compression garment so I wearing long skirts and maxi dresses until the bruising fades away, but from what I can see it looks sooooo much better, I can honestly say my legs look better now then when I was in my teens and 20’s. Thank you, Dr. Pakeman for having so much patience with me. I know I’m a tuff cookie but then again when you take care of your body only the very best will do, and that’s why I chose Dr. P for my Cellulaze treatment, after 4 consultations my husband and I decided that he wasTHE BEST ! My neighbor will be coming with me on my next visit for her consultation.

I was taken care of from A to Z . Dr. P. called me the evening after the procedure to make sure I was comfortable and to remind me to take my medicines,the following morning I went to see him. On friday one of his office staff called me to check up on me and to remind me the importance of staying active, but not to work out yet ! They realized I'm a "gymaholic". It's been a week after my treatment and my legs already look really good ! Very very happy !
