5th year update!
Well, I can't believe it's already 5 years since I took the plunge and had vaser!
As you can see from the pic the procedure was a total success and 5 years on the fat has stayed off and there are no visible scars from the incisions.
I returned to see Dr B in Selston to show off the "end result" ... he was impressed enough to post the pics on Facebook :-)
I cannot praise Dr B and the Selston clinic enough. If you're thinking about this procedure you MUST see Dr B. Absolute gent and top notch doctor.

Final therapy session and a bye bye to the compression garment!.....woop woop!!
Cant believe 8 weeks gone already!
Today I had my final ultrasound and massage session with my therapist Heather and wore my garment (hopefully) for the last time......kinda feel 'naked' without it now!
Today i also went swimming and showed by body in public for the first time! Had a few stares......and even a phone number! Lol
I swam my mile (48 lenths @33m) in 56mins - normally it takes me 45mins so i need to work a little harder to get 'back to normal'. Dr Bassi had advised not to push it too hard initially.
I'm really chuffed with the result of the procedure.....gone has gone my middle-age abdo and flank spread and now i look much more defined and lean without the fat. As Ive said before i have never been muscular - the effects of this surgery have merely defined and enhanced the hidden muscularture which in turn has taken years off me and have boosted my confidence no end.
Vaser is not a 'walk in the park' procedure like many clinics and adverts say. It hurts, is sore is uncomfortable and leaves you swollen & bruised. You are subjected to a regimented routine of compression garment and foam (pain in the arse!) for 24/7 in the the first month....looking and feeling like the MichelinMan. The pain killers leave you constipated (i was resurrected by a glycerine suppository on more than one occasion lol). That said, it has been worth it for me :-)
I have had several private messages about the cost. This site caters in US dollars only.
My hi-def abs and flank vaser cost £5500 (GBP not USD)......this was £10500 cheaper than the most expensive London based quote).
My care at Selston Cosmetic Clinic has been exceptional and i have no reservations in recommending Dr Bassi Dr Vlok and Mags
My next follow appointment is in March and i will update this blog again then
Thank you for reading :-)

6 weeks post abs and 5 weeks post flanks!
I'm now wearing the compression garment and foam only for 12-15hrs per day. They go on after my morning shower and come off before my night time soak in the bath! After a full 5weeks of 24/7 this is an absolute doddle!! Plus it means i can sleep better. Each time i undress i always sneak a peak in the mirror and often do a double take.....'is this really me???' Lol
Many years ago i was diagnosed with psoriasis but this hadnt shown itself for over 5years. However, in the past 2weeks i had a flare up and needed to see my GP. He felt that it had been aggravated by the stress procedure on my body (not as a psychololigical stress). He prescribed the usual paraffin based cream with steroid plus an emolient for my bath (Dermol) and a cream to nourish and keep my skin hydrated and subtle (Doublebase). My skin has never felt so soft and has a constant healthy sheen. Both these can be bought over the counter. I wish i had had them in the first few weeks as my skin felt very dry wearing the garment and foam.
I'm still having 2x therapy sessions per week and always feel so much invigorated, relaxed with super smooth contours afterwards. Reading on here some people only take between 7 and 10 sessions which is the bare minimum i was told during my initial consultations. If youre reading this (i understand if you lost the will to live and probably gave up at my week 2 entry! Lol), and are planning on having this procedure - i would strongly advise you get as many sessions as possible. I did 3 per week for the first 2 weeks and then 2 per week.
Next week (into week 7 post abs) i reduce to just 1 session.

Today i drove up to Selston, Nottinghamshire for a review from Dr Bassi. He was very pleased with the result. I didnt wear the foam for the journey just the garment and had a some red marks. I massaged a little and they soon cleared and he took some photos. We discussed my regime and progress to date. He was pleased with the quality of my therapist and said she had done a good job. He said he would happily able to recommend her to clients from essex who wished to have vaser.
Dr Bassi advised i can start swimming (gently) now and in earnest in the new year. Cant wait!!
(I will post the pics taken at the clinic as soon as they are emailed to me).
As all is progressing splendidly i will return in 3months for my next follow up
Here is an update pic taken this evening after my bath and application of the 'doublebase' which i think you'll agree is much better than my 'before' pics!

Provider Review
Dr Bassi & Dr Vlok
I can recommend Selston Cosmetic Clinic. The entire team were wonderful and I am delighted with the results. I was quoted £10,000 more for the same procedure in London! The results speak for themselves
