Sculpsure was no freaking joke!!

ORIGINAL POST

Sculpsure was no joke!!

Gut2butt
Today I went to DeRosa Plastic Surgery in Bloomfield Hills Michigan. Tim did my sculpsure procedure. He is funny, informative and honest. Dr DeRosa and Tim both told me I’d get better results from smart lipo but that I’d get some results with sculpsure. He warned me about potential lumps after procedure and told me drinking [RS bleep] tons of water and massaging 2 times a day for at least 6 mins would help with this. I wasn’t prepared for how painful it would be. Lol I have a high tolerance for pain but I def cussed Tim out for 30 minutes straight during procedure. He talked me thru and kept my mind off the pain as much as possible. It gets very hot and feels like cramping. After the sculpsure is over my stomach feels pretty sore! I will post some pics and measurements soon. I’m 40 years old. No kids. 152lbs and 5’7”. Any questions....please ask away!! I’m scheduled for another treatment in 6 weeks. So here goes hoping the pain is worth ittttttt!!
I received this complimentary treatment through the RealFriends program.

OUCH! Sounds like you had a considerable amount of discomfort! Uhhgggg... I'm worried I might too! When you say a ton of water before hand, how much? I drink approx 64 oz per day. Is that enough?! I'm excited for you! Looking forward to following your review!

U don’t have to drink water before...only after and that should be plenty girl! It gets the lymphatic system moving so the fat comes out

I didn’t know about the water before!!!! :(( I went only thinking it was a consult and I ended up doing it that day!

You sound like you are a seasoned Sculptsure recipient. Did you get good results from your procedure?
August 21, 2018
My pain tolerance is very high. I’ve had bonding on my teeth with no numbing, biopsy on my thyroid, many piercings,a tattoo and breast implants 2 times. so I know I my tolerance and it’s high. . He told me when I was done that I was a trooper. The machine was on very high without many cool shots. I was told the more fat u have the more it hurts and I have quit a bit. I have lumps still 6 weeks after my first treatment. My second treatment will prob not be done on such a high setting.

You are so nice to take time out and give your educated theory on Sculptsure. I agree with you that every person is different with pain tolerance and there’s no need to soldier through the pain for the sake of being a trailblazer. Like you mentioned, turning up the level will not turn up your results. I’m just so excited about what is in store for my flanks....will they be flank-less or flank- full-less? lol

Day of treatment

Swollen and sore.

So I’ve read the more fat u have the worse sculpsure hurts. I have a significant amount of fat. More than the ideal candidate. I’m swollen and sore. I went for a walk and drank about 4 waters, hoping I speed things along.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Just curious did you have your lower or upper abdomen done? And if you had both lower and upper did you get four or eight plates? The water and massage should really help move things along. I had a small lump in my lower abdomen my very first day; but it was gone by the next day after massaging a few times. I also have a review here. Feel free to stop by if you’d like to compare notes. I look forward to following your progress. :-)

I only had my lower belly done. From the side it def sticks out more than the upper. I’m pretty swollen rn.

Same here! That’s the area (i.e. lower abdomen) I did. “Swollen” is a good thing from what I’ve heard.... :-)
July 5, 2018
I can feel liquid moving when I walk sometimes!
August 15, 2018
I had my inner thighs done and I definitely agree with the pain. It was more than I expected. I was pretty sore and a little swollen for a few days after!
August 16, 2018
Did u see any results on your thighs?
August 16, 2018
It’s still pretty early. I think any results I’ve seen are the swelling going away! Haha
August 16, 2018
Right that’s how I felt

How long does the swelling lassstttt!?

I’m still swollen. Like very bloated. I’m having a hard time hiding it. My high waisted jeans killed me today. And I’m still sore when I bend or touch the area.

I was also quite swollen two days post treatment. In fact this is probably the day I felt the most swollen. Everyone’s different but it should subside within the next several days. Are you doing the massage and drinking the water (i.e. 6 to 8 glasses per day) per most post treatment instructions? This should help. And especially be sure to drink enough water. I know it seems counterintuitive to drink water especially if you’re already feeling bloated; however if your body doesn’t get as much water as it needs, it tries to retain fluid, which can make you look and feel even more swollen and bloated. Google for details. Good luck. :-)

I am drinking a lot of water. The problem is I don’t drink much at work so I wonder if that’s a problem. I drink 1 bottle before work 1 at work and about 4/5 after work. I’m feeling some hard lumps today and still swollen and feel the jiggle in my stomach lol

Does it hurt to wear jeans?! Do we need to rethink our wardrobes and wear loose fitting clothing until the swelling and discomforts subsides!? If you take Tlenolndoes the discomfort and pain subside?

I wear high waisted jeans and they have been pretty uncomfortable. Today is Day 4 and I’m feeling pretty good but still swollen.
