How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Nearly 6 years later, better than ever

Nearly 6 years later, better than ever. I log my food daily via the lose it app, and work out hard at the gym with a trainer now. My abs are 100% flat/solid nice. (flat/no pooch! at any body weight really now)
I'm currently 44 y/o 5'10" 175lbs 19% body fat.

25DEC 2013 photo updates

I weigh 162lbs today, I haven't been working out yet (busy starting a new company). I'm still seeing improvements! My abs are totally flat, loving it. I can't even make a belly shape when I force it out, awesome. This was the best X'mas gift to myself ever.

Week 4, still happy!

It's been 4 weeks and I'm still happy, things are pretty much the same as last week. (slight improvement) I just had my 1 month follow up appointment with Dr Macdonald today actually. He's very pleased, as am I.

In my last post I was mistaken in thinking I could remove the garment all together after week 4. I was provided TWO garments actually.
-One is a pre-fitted full body garment suit you zip up. (takes awhile to get into)
-One is an easy, wrap around/stretch velcro quickly.

I need to wear the easy velcro one if I'm doing any jogging or going to be standing for long periods. I didn't wear any garment at all yesterday, and was on my feet for nearly 11 hours. The next day I noticed two small puffy areas. (nothing to be alarmed about) If I had worn the velcro garment I could have held off that reaction. So again, I'm going to wear the easy to put on/off velcro garment for support the next few weeks. It actually gives me more support than the full body one anyway since I can control the compression better. The idea of the eash velcro garment was so I could wear something while the full body one is in the washing machine. I now realize it's also for post-full body suit needs. (excellent!)

So no photo this week, I'll have some in the near future.

I'm not going to be one of those reviewers that forgets to come back and update their review. :-) I expect to add another few progress photos before Thanksgiving

In mid 2014 I'll do a video with some 6-pack flexing action for some added wow factor.

P.S. Thanks for the compliments, I hope this motivates others on the fence to just go for it. The other non surgical procedures will never be as dramatic as this.

This is my first major plastic surgery experience. Dr. Mcdonald really knows his stuff. He answered all my questions, and surgery was a breeze. He said I didn't need the laser lipo and regular lipo was just fine for my needs. I'll be referring my friend's his way! Nice office, friendly staff, and price is right compared to others.
