Active Mom - 40's - Bra/ Line / Upper Abs - Stubborn Fat Be Gone. Newport Beach, CA

I have always been active / athletic, never struggled with weight until after kids. I started a workout plan to loose 20 lbs, eat leaner, and be very disciplined with TRX, Pilates, Spin and Weight Training. After 6 months, 2 cleanses and the 18- 20 lbs gone, I was not able to loose the upper bra line fat in my traps/ bra line and the fat under bra - upper abs. I also had lost volume in my face, feeling like I was starting to show my age.

I found Dr. Miller via Zendy Health - a cool app that lets you shop around for physicians and he responded to my request immediately. I was so excited when I looked at his reviews. Hundreds of reviews with a 5 star rating, his attention to detail, wonderful patient care and follow up.

I was very nervous about the consult and wasn't sure what to expect. When I arrived, I was greeted by his office staff, who were so nice, professional and very personable. I had many questions about the procedure, risks, healing, and downtime required for recovery. I had read many things online about the difficulty to do lipo on the upper back/ above the bra line because of the anatomy with course muscle tissue and fat. Dr. Miller shared his experience with this area, and answered all of my questions.

My date for the procedure was scheduled quickly and I was provided with all of the prep and post instructions. I arrived very, very ,nervous the day of the procedure. I opted for being awake with adivan, as I don't like to go under general anesthesia. Everyone was very gracious and helpful. The procedure took about 2 1/2 hours. I left the office feeling good, not much pain, wearing a very comfortable vest for compression. Dr Miller was very good about answering my questions during the procedure, as was his assistant.

It has been 6 days post procedure. I have been doing well with minimal discomfort. During my post op appointment, Dr. Miller was pleased with the healing process, answering my questions. The healing process has not been as difficult as I thought. I am still walking 10,000 steps per day and hope to return to my regular program in 2-3 weeks.

The results thus far, are amazing. I have minimal swelling and light discoloration / bruising. I put on my sports bra - where I could always see my upper back fat. Huge Difference - Probably about a 60% - 70% reduction. Abs are super flat.

Now I just need time to pass to get back to the work outs.

I have a few friends who will see Dr Miller also. Great experience and patient care.
