40 Yo post full tt, Getting saddlebag area treated with Sculpsure

UPDATED FROM julstummy

Hopefully uncropped after photos!

WORTH IT
Trying to post before/after photos and have them not be cropped, I think I finally figured out posting from my computer fixes that issue :) These were taken in November. I have been invited to go back and take more pictures, looking in the mirror I don't see a big change since these were taken. However, because the results aren't super drastic sometimes you need to see photos in the same light to actually notice the change. And I will say there definitely was a change, I think I see more from the back as opposed to the sides which is where it bothers me most. The saddlebag area is definitely a very hard area to treat!

Thanks for the update. All I can say is I think you look great even before your afters. I think I see subtle results. But you never can really tell with pictures. I think probably the most important thing is whether you feel a difference.... and as I said before you looked pretty good before. :-)
Awe thanks! You know we are our own worst critics. I think the saddlebag area is just a tough one overall and I really can’t complain too much :) it’s no good if we nit pick and I probably do that with this particular area of my body. I am going to continue to stay as healthy as I can and just accept I stick out a little ;)
I can see a subtle difference. The side by side photos really help for comparison. Being this was an “off-label” area, was it hard to properly place the paddles against your skin? Thanks for sharing your experience w/us. ❤️
The first treatment there were issues with the paddles staying in place on the right side, the tech figured it out for the left side. When I went back for the second treatment I had the plastic surgeon and the head sculpsure specialist there to make sure the paddles were in the right place. There was no issue with them losing contact the second time. I think if I went back a third time there would be even more of a difference in results since the first time the placement may not have been just right.
It’s a shame they didn’t give you another session or half session to make up for the paddles not properly connecting on the first one.

4 months post first sculpsure treatment!

Sorry for the delayed update!! I keep meaning to get back on here and share an update. About 4 weeks after my second treatment I got a follow up call from Gena and it made me look and massage the treated areas and I discovered I totally could feel fat nodules! I was not as diligent about massage the second time around and sure enough I finally got to feel what it's like to discover nodules. Thankfully massage does help them go down and it's nice to know that even now I will continue to get smaller!
I had my final pics taken this last week and it's exciting to see a difference. I will say for anyone looking for dramatic results this is not a treamtent for you. It's more subtle but definitely sculpsure does something!! I even threw away some underwear that became too loose on my butt. I'm glad I got to experience this treatment and hope my review will shed some light on what to expect for those looking into it!

I don't know why it cropped my pics, I will try again!
So happy to hear that you have experienced a noticeable difference! It is a very subtle change on my flanks, not as drastic as you have on you butt. lol. I agree, that if you’re looking for a dramatic difference, this is not the route to go. This is a procedure for anyone that wants a “pinch” of a inch off of their troubled spots!!
That's a perfect way to describe it! a pinch of an inch!
It looks like it smoothed out your skin too! Happy to hear you are loving your results :)
Hard to tell if the Exilis smoothed the skin or if it's lighting?? Either way I'm just happy there is a difference! :)
Haha! Yes exactly! I’ll take anything that will make me look better as I age lol!
Love your results hun. I can definitely see a difference in your pics!! It’s hard for me to tell on myself but I’m hoping to get my pics taken again soon so I can compare. But I’m like you and can tell with my underwear. I had both hips done and my R flank and my undies are very loose now.
He he, love the way you girlies can tell the difference by your undies. That’s a definite tell tale sign. Hoooooray. Xoxo
Lol!!!
Nobody likes saggy bloomies.
Exactly. I want to feel like my undies are holding my butt up,lol !!!!!!
LOL!
Noooo granny panties.
Big difference

Exilis done today

Just like after the first sculpsure session, three weeks after the second session I received an Exilis treatment. Four minutes per side, idea is laser stimulates collagen growth to tighten skin. And just like the last Exilis treatment the right side felt like a hot stone massage and the left side started out okay and then felt like a hot iron on my skin! Sylvia moved the laser probe faster on my skin to help alleviate the discomfort when I mentioned how hot it felt. This time I had a slight burning feeling on my left upper thigh for about an hour after treatment. Otherwise, normal activities resumed immediately :) here’s to hoping I can change my status to worth it very soon!

Thanks for the update. Can’t wait to see all of our final results
I don't think it's ever going to be a dramatic change like the tummy tuck but there is enough of an improvement that I am leaning towards saying it's all worth it.
That’s how I feel. Nothing drastic at all and mine was almost painless ( as opposed to others experiences) so I would definitely say worth it. Now if I had had to pay for it....not sure it’s worth that much $$ though
Very good point
Ouch... I felt your heat radiating through this message. Lol. It’s seriously an OUCH. FACTOR.
I know!! It makes me want to say bad words! Instead I hold it in and just start sweating until it's over LOL
Yep, that was the same scenario with me. I just wanted to belt out., HOLY SH**!!
YES!!!!!

Are you seeing results from the skin tightening? It’s great that it was included with the sculpsure! I am getting concerned about my treated upper abs area. I don’t think it looks better, just saggier, lol! I look forward to following your progress!
Hi there! I absolutely felt that both sides felt saggy for a few weeks! It kind of freaked me out like oh no what have I done. Now I don't know if it was the exilis or just the healing process but it is definitely firming back up which is a huge relief! And even though I can still grab skin on the sides it doesn't feel as flabby so I think it's working!
Thank you for your diligence on the updates. From all I’ve read the waiting is the hardest part. Fingers crossed for ya.
Yes the waiting can get old but thankfully life is so busy right now the time is passing quickly. I really can't wait to compare the before pics with 12 weeks after. I go back in just a few weeks for final pics. I will be sure to post!
