Not satisfied at all....

Q

So I went in for my month check and expressed my concerns about my upper back and she seemed to not care, didn't offer any touch ups or anything. I was referring about 4 people to her and told them to find someone else because I was mislead. Clearly on my paper it says how much I was paying for each section but she told me that she doesn't charge for the back fat but beside my prices it's 1200 for that area alone. I've decided to go to another doctor to get a touch up, which he's discounted and also to get my stomach done as well. I gained a lot of my weight due to taking prednisone and that was that. My waist is smaller and my arms a little smaller but I'm exercising as well. I learned my lesson and will not refer anyone to them. After you pay the treatment you get seems different. Lesson learned....

HI Queenoflipo, I'm so sorry to hear that you are not please with your procedure. I wish I had read your review sooner. I'm scheduled to get my smartlipo with Rodney Lutz and the only reason I chose them is because they are board certified. I paid the first half and scheduled for my procedure on Feb 27th I'm having my lower, upper abs and hips done and was considering my arms later but thanks to your review I my change my mind. I hope all is well with you now with your recovery!

finally seeing some results!

Q

This has truly been an experience. My body is almost without any soreness and I'm seeing good results in my waist area and still waiting on results of my upper body. I've started to eat healthier and exercise 4 times a week. I feel good.I'm going back in for a check up tomorrow with my Dr because my right arm seems to be bigger than my left arm, initially they thought it was just swelling but I'm actually noticing a difference between the two. I'm kinda starting to feel this smaller waist!

Looking great!  But huh, that is different, with the differently sized arms!  Please do keep us posted on what they say about that.  I assume it could just be differential swelling but it'd be great to know.

Continued happy healing to you :).

Well thankful.... a lot has changed and my results see coming in, especially in my waist and back...after talking to my Dr, it does sometimes take a while for the swelling to go down and the results to come in. I'm actually happy now and can't wait to see what my results will be in a couple of months. I lost inches and I'm now 2 sizes smaller....can't wait to finish seeing the results!
