l was so surprised today, I recieved a personal call today from Dr. Johnson. He wanted to know how my leg was feeling. He said since smooth sculpting made my leg feel better, I could have more done without any charge. I am thankful that Dr. Johnson called me, inquired on how I was feeling and offered treatment for no charge.

Dr. never spent any time with me, no post instructions from him that I can recall. Always in a hurry, well see at my two week appointment. Nurses are wonderful! Especially the nurse that assisted Dr. during procedure. The more I read on other reviews, It makes me more aware of what my Dr. didn't tell me. I have no idea on what vitamins I should take, any creams or oils on my skin, ice, heat, etc. etc.???

I am glad the Dr. called you today (Nov 8th). Who knows, maybe he read RealSelf, and felt bad that you were not pleased!! I am sure that no doctor wants to have a dissatisfied patient - the dissatisfaction is just as stressful for them. Hopefully the SmoothSculpting will continue to improve your results and, I will keep my fingers crossed that in 6-12 months time you will have a positive result! Maybe this will be a positive review after all :) Best wishes.

Hi wwjcdo! How are you doing now that you are 7 months out? I just had my cellulaze procedure 10 days ago and am noticing that walking at least one mile has really made a big difference for the swelling and the bruising. When I first began the walk, it was really uncomfortable and I was very careful; but by about one mile, I noticed a return of sensation and more engaged use of all my muscles. I also tried Bikram yoga today (hot yoga) and noticed that the heat and increased circulation also helped a great deal. Thinking of the persistent swelling that you have had, I thought to write and suggest that you try gentle longer distance walking. Have you done much exercise since the procedure? I know you said that massage and smooth sculpting helped, has anything else helped your symptoms?

I'm very surprised that you had a negative experience with Dr. Johnson. I have seen him also (for Smartlipo and Dysport) and he has always been caring, informative, and patient on every occasion that I've seen him. I also love Lisa and Kayla and the other there who work there! Could you post some after pictures? It's hard to get an idea of the results with the bruising...

I was angered while writing my last post. I was having alot of pain in my leg and I hate the lump. Maybe one of these days I will post a picture. The Dr. did offer to give me a numbing shot, but I declined because it was temp. He also offered smooth sculpting, which I did not pay for, which was heat, suction and message, which helped. Ii am blessed my daughter is a message therapist. She has given me two messages on my legs which has helped enormously! The pain is caused from scar tissue which my daughter is working out. I am feeling so much better.

i see where it was dr johnson! he is advertising like crazy!! i had 3rd degree burns from his IPL machine and am scarred from his machine!

I am sorry to hear that you was burned from his IPL machine. How are you feeling? I'm not sure what you had done. I do not know if Dr. Owsley does cellulaze. I was so anxious to get it done, and I was told that Dr. Johnson trains other Dr. in the cellulaze procedure so I did not go anywhere else. I should have gone to Dr. Owsley, I knew and trusted him. He will not tell you he can help you if he can't. I have all the trust in Dr. Owsley and I am so upset w/ myself that I did not go to him. I had a procedure from him 10 or so yrs. ago, a family member had a procedure from him also, followups and all the expierence I have had w/ him he is wonderful.
