The pictures with garment on was taken just 5 days after surgery, so there's still some swelling but noticeable difference. It's will be 2 weeks Wednesday and I'll take more pictures without the garment on.

Girl, regretfully No!! I was so darn excited about my results that it totally slip my mind. I do know that I'm 10lbs down after surgery. I'm going to ask my doctor to send me all measurements plus before and after pics.

Thank you! Local anesthesia, heavily sedated and yes wide awake, hardly felt a thing. Heck I didn't even remember the ride home. Had lots of drainage the first day but hardly any on day two. I returned back to work within two weeks, but was up and moving around pretty good the 5th day.

$10,000 for everything and I'm wearing a Isavela Compression Garment ($95) and I love it! It fits tight but comfortable, with no seams. I spent a lot of unnecessary money, trying to prepare for the actual procedure that I ended up not needing at all. Such as poise pads, coverings for bedding, first aid tape, etc.... Only to discover I really only needed some of this stuff just for the first day post op

See this is my problem. I go for Surgery tomorrow but I'm not wanting to buy everything on that list. I have already spent money on things that i dont think i will use. Can you help me out with a list of what you feel is really needed

Just a few poise pads, first aid tape, bed covering, extra strength tylonol (unless you rely on narcotics provided, I didn't). I suggest you purchase small amounts of each.

After stressing myself out and the anxiety of even thinking of going thru with this procedure, my entire experience was very comforting, from start to finish! It's now exactly one week post op and the pain has been very tolerable, incisions are barely noticeable and there's no drainage tubes necessary. Staff was very professional and kind! Dr. Parasi was extremely informative and patient! This is just week one and I'm very pleased with my results thus far and looking forward to an even better outcome as I recover. I have absolutely no regrets!! Thanks to the entire Sono Bello Team!!

Congrats on a successful experience! What areas of the body were targeted? Also, if you're comfortable sharing, the community would love to see before-and-after photos :)

Thank you so much for providing your results and outcome. I am having lipo done on my legs and I read all the bad reviews after signing and paying for my lipo so I was very skeptical.
