Wish I Did It Sooner!

WORTH IT$4,800
No matter how fit I get, I’ve always struggled with big fat pockets on my flanks/love handle area. I have a short torso, so the extra bulk at my waist made me have a shape I never loved. Always felt uncomfortable in ANYTHING form fitting, even at my thinnest.
I chose Dr Kong based on a friends review, and that I wanted an option that was permanent/effective, but did not want to be put under.
Dr Kong was great. Kept me informed and comfortable the whole time!

Wanted to share an update about the recovery process and what I learned:
- recovery is pretty intense, pain peaked from days 3-8 and then started to reduce
- sleeping is really tough if you get your flanks done; there’s no good position to get comfortable
- heat is your enemy; we spent the weekend in 90 degree weather 5 days after and I had crazy swelling, discomfort and generally felt terrible
- I’m starting to notice fibrosis forming under my skin, so have been doing 20-30 mins of self massage every day to try and break up the tissue
Still happy with results. They aren’t super drastic but helped me achieve a better shape :)

would love to know how you're feeling now, with time for the swelling to go down more? how's the fibrosis situation?
I live in SF and have the same issues you did.

Fibrosis seemed to totally resolve itself. Swelling took literally 6 months to really go down and I will still get some swelling in the area if I'm retaining water. It takes a full year apparently for 100% of the swelling to go away
