I would like to get rid of my love handles . I'm 5"7 157 lbs & live a healthy lifestyle, working out 3 to 4 x a week. I had a mini tummy tuck , but my upper abs now store fat. I would like to define my waistline & be able to wear crop tops. It took me 10 years to finally decide to do this for myself.

I very happy with the job , I was doing Jenny Criag prior to getting the procedure & working out harder & had lost about 3 lbs . but I'm planning to do the 22- Day Revolution Diet more plant based , so that I can get the full results.

Congratulations! You look amazing! I'm 49 and have pretty much the same issue you had and am about to try something slightly different but that is supposed to have very similar results so let's hope for the best. Again, you look great! Better than a lot of women in their 20's I've seen! You go girl! ;)

Today's the day !! Im quite nervous about the money spent & the recovery time. My husband did not want me to have this procedure ,so it doesn't make me feel great , but I really wanted to do something for myself.

Please update on how your skin responded. Did it leave you with loose skin? I'm considering either a mini tt or smart lipo. Thank you.

I arrived for my procedure & the nurse was very informative about what to expect . I was nervous the night before , because I had read some bad reviews about Son Bello . I researched Doctor Novick. (my assigned ), and found that he had 25 years experience, so I felt very comfortable. He was very nice & professional . I didn't experience much pain at all , About a level 3, there hasn't been much bleeding either, some last night , & none today. I will say that when the pain med. wears off , the pain level goes to about 7. I'm really pleased with how my waist & stomach look after only 1 day & would totally recommend this procedure

I was awake the whole time with a solution that they put into the area's that they do the lipo. It didn't hurt , at times a bit uncomfortable , but totally tolerable .
