Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

update: nearly at 3 months
Hey guys
Im so sorry for not updating sooner, [RS bleep] got really stressful and messy when i started running out of money... Like literally, but it was only about 2 weeks of stress and then i was back in NZ to see family. .. so money issues weren't as much of a problem, and by the time i got back i was able to work again.
Whilst in NZ i was on the 'wearing the garment 12 hours a day' plan. Instead of doing this for 3 weeks i did it for 1 and half...which is bad, but i got into a bad habit and just stopped.
I noticed that the side of my stomach is still stolen, and is more raised, whereas the other side is completely flat, and looks great.
For 2 weeks i had a permanent line from sitting down, that stretched across my stomach, but now its pretty much gone... well doesn't happen anymore.
I have days where my stomach looks great, and others where it looks like [RS bleep]. I think thats part of the healing process though.
I went back for a follow up (finally) and had a very apologetic and attentive surgeon (this time around). and i think its because of the email i wrote his assistant about how angry i am about the outcome, the follow up and the treatment that i had during my surgery. I have also spoken to a few people, and they said because of what happened to me, i could sue him for ALOT. But, if he's cooperating with me and willing to help and give me the best outcome then i won't waste my time.. end of day i want what i paid for and to be treated like a patient should be treated.
He gave me cheap botox, apologised, tried to get to know me, and was very happy to go forward with a touch up surgery to fix the parts I'm not happy with. There was no arguing or problems that came with me complaining, which i expected to be honest.
I had some blood injection thing injected into the side that has swelling, which apparently is supposed to have it go down in a month or so. (Theres bad scar tissue built up in that side for some reason)
Overall, I'm happy with results SO FAR but expect it to come through even more. I am more confident and am enjoying wearing what i want.
I am going to make/save enough to money before scheduling the next touch up surgery (in 2 weeks) so i can recover without stress.
Im excited to work out, and have even organised a personal trainer, but will wait until the touch up surgery has been performed before starting exercise.. (because i can't exercise while recovering)
Now I'm only getting my inner thighs touched up. They are uneven and very one has had more fat taken out then the other. Im only doing my legs so therefore only have to wear leggings (this will be a lot easier than a bloody body suit!)
I shall upload some photos soon of days its looked good. And more once november has past so you can see overall results.
To be honest, even though I'm starting to enjoy my body more and more, i still want to work out and get toned, and eat well. (Which I've been doing!)
Although, the recovery for this surgery was [RS bleep] horrible. And i will be speaking to Dr Ajaka about being very clear with patients that it isn't just a 'week recovery' like they advertise.
I was suffering from post surgery depression, i was swollen in every area, i couldn't wear clothes or even try to cover up this bloody bodysuit, oh and Fyi i stopped wearing the black chunky guard that i had to wear over my garment... i wore it for maybe 2 weeks max? didn't really make a difference
i wouldn't tell anyone to do this unless they had a lot of money to spare whilst recovering and were completely honest and upfront with friends that could support them through it... i was stupid enough to try hide this from my brother (that i lived with) along with my friends, so it made everything a lot harder.
Im soooo glad its over and the pain has stopped, i got horrible sharp pains that would make me cry on the spot... sleeping was horrible, i couldn't even get a decent nights sleep without waking up numerous times. The medication made me feel [RS bleep], but was the only thing to help me get through the pain.
The legs were the easiest to recover and caused me the least pain so I'm happy to go through that again. And seeing as its just pants! But i want this to perfect, as i did pay 11k.
Im going overseas in december so lets hope its all great by then!
Again sorry for not being active! I was on a stressful mission for money and when i was able to go back to work it was all that was on my mind.
It all seems like a blur now but I'm glad i went through it, and know for next time how to prepare.

really worried
I am angry about the lack of information that cosmos has given, and how majority of it is the info they want to tell you.
Never mentioned the pain, the big, bulky corset that you have to wear (really hard to cover up), the ridiculous swelling,, and the lack of follow up.
I assumed i would be able to work within 3 weeks, but now not so sure. If i knew the swelling would be this up and down and bad, i wouldnt of done the surgery at all, or wouldve had it for a different date. My 21st birthday is coming up in 3 weeks and im really worried i wont even be able to wear a dress, let alone go out.
Ive had one day where results could be seen, apart from that my stomach ( on one side) is so inflammed, lumpy and swallon. My thighs look like they havent been touched, my calves are really swallon even though they havent been done.
I have booked a massage for tomorrow, at $55 for 30 minutes. Im going to try do a few of these even though im running low on money.
I feel like working out and taking off the garments scheduled for the end of next week is seriously not long enough? My results are looking horrible at the moment. I cant possibly see them getting better within a week!
Im trying to drink alot of water, and massage as much as i can... i was told to stay 5 days after my operation for massages and the clinic bailed on me twice, and both massages i did have were 5 minutes long.... i just feel like client #121.
Any tips to help with recovery? Or speed it up? Im feeling down :( Sitting at the house doing nothing is really getting to me

Provider Review
So far so good, the cosmos clinic has been really attentive. Dr Ajaka has rung me twice to clarify details and answer my questions. The nurse Laura has been great with emailing me and answering all my questions in between
