I had this procedure done with the impression I would be flat or close to it. I was told I needed to do my entire section all the way around to achieve the results I was looking for. I was also was told I was a good candidate until I was unhappy with the result. Throughout my healing process I was told I was still swollen I was most recently told "the fat is now under the muscle". The doctor who performed my procedure requested I try another diet for $500 per month after the $5600 spent. When I expressed my lack of happiness with the procedure and sent her the after pic which was never taken by her staff she said she does see a difference. My waste was never measured by her or her staff. I to,d her my waist went down one inch she said impossible.... How would she know? I feel very cheated because this meant so much to me.it should be against the law to do this to people seeking help. I feel like I was giving false hope and I got burned. My self esteem is far worst now that I'm am $5600 in the negatives.

The doctor was very professional and convincing her staff was extremely nice. I just feel like I was deceived because my results consist of one inch off my waist which I would have never paid $5600 for. I was truly excited about boosting my self esteem with this procedure but all this did was ruin it.

Thanks for your comment but not sure much could be done here. The doctor I used is requesting another $1,000 to go back in and remove more fat.

Let us know what you decide to do.

It happened to me too! These plastic surgeons lie all the time and don't believe their before and after pictures. I had breast augmentation with a little donut lift and ended up with no nipples; they're flat as ever now. Plus the doctor decided on his own to put a small size in instead of the most fuller size that I had requested. One breast bigger than the other, Omg!

Oh wow, was it a reduction? I am inquiring now about the breast Lipo of course not with the same doctor.

I see a difference but certainly not $5600 worth. I'm sorry you spent so much and got so little in return. Did the dr. say how many cc's of fat were removed?
September 8, 2015
I believe it was 1200.
September 9, 2015
I confirmed its was 2600cc removed.
September 9, 2015
2600cc is a good amount; perhaps you are just a very slow healer and suddenly big results will show up---let's hope so. Hang in there.
September 9, 2015
Hope so, thanks
