Going well. Lost a bit of weight and am working on improving the definition of my abs. Left side is still a bit swollen but improves the more ultrasound massage i do. Quite happy so far, but i would say to see optimal results you really need to keep fit and eat well..

Very friendly doctor. Made the whole process as easy as possible. Answered any questions I had and was realistic about my results. The nursing staff and coordinators were great too and made me feel very welcome. The clinics atmosphere is great! Would recommend Dr Vlok and the NU clinic any day :)

Hello everyone so good to hear your experiences. I saw Dr Vlok with NU clinic but I needed more questions answering. I am finding NU a bit slow to respond though. I just need basic answers like what I need to know about aftercare etc. Do I need the MLD. I want the basic vaser and am after sculpting as I'm pretty slim. What should I do? Is it better to see Dr V somewhere else other than at NU? I am travelling anyway so wondered if I should somewhere else. Rae how much is it at Selston and is that also with Dr V? He mentioned Dr Bassi to me when I saw him. Any help appreciated I just hate how my body affects my confidence and want to get going!

Hi Babakins, I had mine done with Nu Cosmetic 2 weeks ago and I am over the moon with the results so far. The aftercare is pretty simple which is with any surgery. Just need to have some MLD and take it easy for few weeks. Hope you decide to go with Nu too.

Hi Lpoollad, had mine done today its very relaxed at the clinic isnt it, Were you very bloated with the liquid still in you? It feels like the whole front of me has been inflated. They took 2ltrs out out me, not in any pain but got some pain, but bearable not took any pain killers as yet. Hope your getting on well.

my recovery i going well thanks mate, stomach is completely flat now! MLD ultrasound is recommended. Glad your procedure went well, feeling a bit bloated is normal it won't last too long.. the leakage will last around 2 days, i used puppy pads to soak this up, will look forward to seeing your after pics! :)

Thanks, yes i look bloated, but thinner than what i was with the compression garment on, the leakage is only coming out of the groin areas. Looking forward to seeing the end results. Upto now im pleased i haf it done. where are you going for your massages? And how soon can you have them
May 25, 2014
Yeah I found the same with the leakage it will pass.. Glad it's going well! Having the massage at the NU clinic, it has definitely smoothed everything out.. Should get the first around the 4th or 5th day I would say..
