How is everyone? Hope everyone is doing as well as I am these days!
So on saturday I had my 4 week check at Selston and safe to say Dr Bassi was as impressed with the results so far as I am!!! He thought it was looking fantastic, and it really is. I cant explain how wonderful it all looks right now. I am going to get my partner to take some proper photos this weekend of me.

I went swimming after my appt and for the first time in my life wore a bikini and felt a million bucks. No holding in or sucking the belly in, wonderful feeling.

I am allowed to exercise now and on monday i started one hour of HIIT again and did the second set today and can barely walk. Taking it easy on ab movements though, and i have to wear foam during workout so its very tough but im so glad to be back working out again and ever improving the whole result.

I am still swollen, which is crazy as I cant even imagine in 2 months time where I will be if im so pleased with it now.

No pain apart from nerves knitting back together, odd sharp scratches internally. Only pain i get if if garments are off for more than 15 mintes and pouches of fluid start forming and it gets very heavy and painful but as soon as foam strapped on again im great.

The one thing i would recommend to everyone having such a sculpting procedure Hi def like me is to persevere with the garments and follow all after care put in place to a tee. My results have been so good due to all of this. If you have paid for a treatment why ruin it, pay the extra for decent garments, get a bat vest from macom and PLEASEEE ultrasound. And you need minimum 10 massages. I have had 11 and finished my last one today with Maureen who im going to miss massively as she became such a part of my life during all of this.

Now onwards its just a case of keeping on track with diet, fitness and wearing all foam and garments for the next 2 months.. 1/3 of the way there!

Mine isn't flat yet but because my vaser was so harsh and very drastic I am still massively swollen. Like really big with swelling which dr b said could Be there for Up To 6 months. I'm hoping by end of August when I'm on holiday to wear a bikini it's a lot better. But I can see it's gonna be incredible. Looking at your before pics you've amazing skin laxity so you are gonna look insane trust me!! Seriously wow. [RS bleep]

babe m jus stressed cuz im not gettin my flanks done wil it still look good :/ cuz u kno dr bassi doesnt do more den 2 areas :/
July 21, 2014
When you're coming to the end of your procedure you will be thankful and understand why he won't do more than 2!!! It's impossible you need to be as comfortable as possible and near the end of upper lower it does get painful so couldn't imagine then moving on to flanks it's just too much on the body trust me. Have it done - wait the 4 months and then review it - if you're not happy book in for flanks too xxxx

Hi Rachel, I'm due to have my surgery with Dr Bassi on the 3rd September, I am just going through the process of getting everything prepared. Can I ask you which Boots Stay Dry Pads did you buy? I have looked and there appears to be different absorbency ratings - there are 4 teardrops, 5 teardrops and 7 teardrops - can you confirm which ones you bought? Also, how far before surgery did you start taking Arnica tablets? And did you use the arnica gel? If so, did you put it on your skin and then put your garment straight on again? Sorry for all the questions, just trying to get everything sorted well in advance! Thanks

Finally some photos

Mrsgiven
Been very ill since last satirday with a cold and kidney infection and my kidneys are quite bad right now so not been able to come on here much but I promised photos for ages so here are a few. Still swollen and still a long way to go but for 4 weeks I'm insanely pleased from where I came from :)

Sometimes it's hard with things like this as you actually become adjusted to how you currently look and forget where you came from. I constantly need to look back at old photos to remember the incredible difference and job dr bassi has done. So hats off to the man - he is the best without a doubt.

No pain at all anymore just discomfort when garment off - nobody understands that horrible feeling of swelling popping up under your skin when the garment is off until you have it done. It's a strange sensation but not a nice one too. Followed his post op plan to the letter literally. So I hope when I see him next week he will be pleased. I definitely need the garment and foam on for 3 months but I've become so adjusted to it watcging how it slowly is tightening and flattening my skin that I don't find it an issue in te slightest.

Definition comes and goes. One morning I wake and do ultrasound and I'm like wow look at those lines. And then some mornings it's podgy and wobbly flabby. So it's a waiting game right now but I know what's hiding underneath :)

Hope everyone is well.

I think your results are amazing. Please post more pictures. It would be nice to see your results as the time goes by up until a year. Being on the right weight was crucial, right? Your post has been the best I have come across. It has been so well detailed and helpful. Thank you.
June 22, 2014
That was my aim entirely to help others as I've read lots of reviews the past two years and still had some questions I wanted answered so I wanted to make sure everyone thinking of doing this knew exactly what was ahead of them. I would definitely say being the right weight was crucial. It really isn't that difficult to lose weight you just have to be in the right mental state to want it bad enough, I knew I'd always have this belly as it was my hardest and most stubborn area to shift so even once weight was gone I'd always be wearing spanx or tights! So this for me was to just even out my whole body. I hope you continue following, I'll always update don't worry!! [RS bleep]

July 3, 2014

Im so excited belly fat is jus so hard to lose u look pretty great even ur side seems flattened out [RS bleep]
June 22, 2014
Glad you starting to see proper results now Rae! My swelling is still there too but almost 5 weeks on I'm starting to see it going down. Ultrasound definitely helps as you say! The difference from you before pics is great now so just think when it has all flattens out properly! It was definitely worth it! :)

Hi there,
Been few years after your procedure. How did things get after all these years? I’m wondering as the years went by, do you think it was still worth it?

Hey! Thanks so much for all your posts. Been following religiously. I am now 10 days post op and feel great-I am just super paranoid of food I put into my body because I'm scared of gaining weight especially since I can't work out for another few weeks. Do you feel this way too?
June 20, 2014
Definitely. Everytime I'm eating a bad meal I think ugh maybe it's fat coming back not my swelling. It's a battle. But I'm just dying to get back working out as I've lost so much definition from arms and legs! Desperate to tone again. I have my 4 week check next satirday at the clinic so I'm going to ask them then if they think it's ok for me to start working out again! [RS bleep]

Hi could you please tell me how much did your procedure cost ?
July 2, 2014
£3000 for procedure but this did not include garments or after care eg massages. £670 for my MLD massages. All in all adding garments, ultrasound, MLD, tablets etc i would say it has cost £4500.
July 3, 2014
Thank you, so to clarify, did you have Mid Def, Hi Def or 4D sculpt Vaser? I think £4.5K is still very reasonable.

oh ...

I paid for Mid Def but he took it further to a more Hi Def look hence needing 10 massages.
