I have had 3 kids, all C sections and that pouch that just would never go away. I had two treatments done 4 days ago, diagonally which overlapped at the bottom. Today I put on jeans, happily thinking they fit, even with the swelling. Tonight a few sharp pains, reading reviews I imagine they will get worse before better. I'm traveling in two days, packing something for pain! The pictures were taken immediately after. One side is visibly red and larger, both were the same size though.

I'm a bit disappointed at the results so far, but know it will only get better. I had wanted the lower tummy treated, the pouch that is so hard to get rid of or even make a dent in. I should have asked at the time, but wonder why the two treatments I had, were done diagonal from each side and crossed on the pouch area. I was told I would need more treatments at the time. I'll contact the Dr. office on Monday and ask questions. Maybe seeing the differences in their pictures will change my current thoughts.

I just had the procedure done 1 week ago and this is the way they performed my treatment across the abdomen as well - 2 diagonally meeting just below the belly button, vs. 1 large across my pooch. I am 1 week out, still a little swollen and still numb with some pain here and there. Nothing too bad. Curious what your final results were?

For me they refuse to do one across the pouch, saying there's a natural line down the tummy and it can cause indents in the lower tummy, my guess is if more fat is lost on a particular side. I was disappointed. My 30 day check up was disappointing too. I had really hoped to see a large difference. I like to think at 90 days , I'll be happy, and feel the cost was well spent.

Not what I wanted to hear! My husband was so skeptical and I am hoping I didn't throw money away. I am only 7 days out...

Oh and my consultant said that the new way is to do the two draws in a v shape on lower the abdomen, not one big one straight across. So I trusted her and went with that.

That's what they did on mine as well, two diagonally. I'm feeling a little more confident the past couple weeks. From all the reviews I've seen it only gets better! Let's hold on to that :)

I'm a month and a half in, I see changes and hope they continue until my 90 days and even after. Swelling for me took a while, numbness. I'm excited to see final results at 90 days and know the money was well spent.

I am almost 60 days and no change. wasted money down the drain!

Give it the 90 days, nothing to lose but fat at this point. When I looked at my set of pictures, before, 30 days, 90 days, I was very disappointed, still am. I questioned about it being worth the cost, I was told that's up to me! Of course it was not. Keep your fingers crossed and hopes up for your 90 days :)

I had two large applicators for my treatment and they were placed diagonally meeting in my pelvic area. What I had wanted was the lower abdomen done. The office doing the procedure said they can't do just that area, because it causes indents ,since bodies have a natural line up and down the stomach. Does anyone know if it's suggested not to place applicator directly across the lower abdomen, the pouchy area? Any experiences??

Have you seen any difference at all yet ?? I am 5 days post procedure and I am getting nervous reading your review
May 31, 2016
Don't be nervous, my disappointment was on my own 30 day review. I'm starting to notice changes and it's exciting!

For me it was the numbness that hung around, not much pain. It was suggested to wear something tight, I bought a waist cincher from Walmart.just kept pressure on my tummy/ lower abdomen area. It helped.

I had one large applicator placed horizontally across my lower abs and two smaller applicators placed diagonally on my upper abs. I think I've had the most results from the large applicator. I don't have a ridge, but that may be because I also had the upper abs done. I'm now considering getting my lower abs done one more time with the smaller applicators diagonally placed, just to get maximum results. Check out my pics on my profile and you can see the marker lines of my placement.
