Thumbs Down For QWO

First of all the provider that I chose is a great doctor and the staff as well but I cannot recommend the procedure due to the results. During the consultation I was clear with the dr and staff that I was not expecting the procedure to remove all cellulite entirely but I did however, went in with the expectation of at least 50% improvement. I was told I would get that and maybe more. The procedure is very expensive and with only a 10% improvement, not worth it IMO. It may work for others but it was not worth the cost. The procedure is not painful but it is uncomfortable. You cannot hold a casual conversation while sipping on a margarita. The staff was very empathetic throughout the entire procedure, before, during and after. I have no complaints regarding their professionalism. All I can say is that it did not deliver the level of results to justify the cost. I am now a full month after the third procedure. I will post the most recent pics tomorrow. Please note that some of these pics are misleading, especially right after the procedure because the injections fill in the dimples but as the filler distributes and vanishes, the dimples came back. I got super excited after the first procedure because it also gave my bottom firmness due to the swelling and some lumps as well but again, it goes away. Good luck to you all. Hope you all do get better results.

Im not a doctor or expert but it almost seems like he must not have done it right. I mean... your bruising is very minimal compared to literally every other picture ive seen as well as my own experience with the injections. My entire buttcheek was a solid deep burgundy color after the first round, but your bruises look small as opposed to having all pooled together. I read one of the doctors comments about qwo suggesting that the bruising is a sign of the fibers dissolving. Out of curiosity, did he spend a great deal of time mixing the product together before he got started? Cause it took my practicioner 10-15 minuted to prepare all the injections before we got started.

The injections were ready when I walked in the room. So I didn't get to see how long it took them to prepare them. The second and third treatments were even less bruised. Maybe he didn't use enough on me idk. What a waste of money, time and hope.

He said I was the first patient that didn't have significant results and was unhappy with the treatment. He said didn't know why it didn't work and had no other explanation.

Sorry you aren't happy. I was gonna have it done a couple of months ago. But wanted to see more b & a pix. One thing my Dr. said was to get massages afterwards. But that would seem dreadful as the bruising and tenderness would make it unbearable. Did you at any point get massages or caviation treatments. The Dr. said combining those two would be best. 2 - 3 days a week for best results. Maybe try that. If caviation isn't an option financially (which could be pricey) I've used the Fascia Blaster and have seen great results. I'm sure the bands have dissolved and maybe need to be massaged. Also, not sitting down was recommended. And getting a butt pillow to sitting on was also suggested.

Dr. Burns strongly suggested a roller which I did religiously starting the day after treatment, after each treatment. I have a high tolerance for pain so it didn't bother me much. I think it even helped with the stiffness, soreness and swelling. But here I am almost 2 months past the third treatment and I cry every time I look at myself. My clothes don't fit the same, I've lost so much vume that I have even worse dumpling. I can't even sleep. I'm up crying my eyes out over this. I wish I had never done it. I feel hopeless and don't wven know what steps to take to fix the damage. I can't recommend the procedure to anyone.

I feel you girl! I spent all summer with a bruised backside and light wallet thanks to QWO. If anything, my butt and thighs look worse! Total rip-off. However I highly encourage you to talk to your provider about your disappointing outcome. Mine ended up giving me a credit for the full amount that I spent that I can use for it whatever I would like. Even they agree the results were pitiful and they will not be offering it in their practice anymore. If that doesn’t work, I wonder if you can dispute it with your credit card company? I know it’s a stretch but that’s a lot of money to pay for some thing with zero results. Wishing you the best of luck. Please keep us updated!

One month after third treatment

limitless03
If I see major improvements in the coming months, I will post pics but I should have seen most of the improvement by now. So that 10% improvement I mentioned is generous. It's depressing to see that I invested so much of my hard earned money for this. I hope the rest get better results.

I’m comparing your before and after photos and I see a drastic improvement in the dimpling- I think you look fantastic!
July 17, 2021
Lol no. It's a minimal, hardly noticeable improvement. Now I'm just more upset because I have lost volume in my butt. My butt is starting to look smaller. I am seriously starting to get depressed over this. What a horrible mistake.
July 18, 2021

I see major improvements but give it time. You may want another treatment. Also, I notice some droopiness in your buttocks as if you’re wearing a saggy diaper.. I’m wondering if that’s a side effect?

July 18, 2021
The pic that says “day after second pic” is the pic I’m referring too. The droopiness is what I see. Please tell me if this is a side effect or your genetics? Because that area of the buttocks should be round.
July 19, 2021
I've lost a lot of weight and this was the first step in my improvement journey. It has nothing to do with results from QWO so I'm not sure why you point that out. But it has gotten worse bcuz now I'm losing volume. My butt is getting smaller and I feel awful. Very depressed over this. I hope other do get better results. I did the full 3 treatments. A fourth will make no difference and I cannot risk losing more volume.

Dr pics

limitless03
So these are the pictures taken by the doctor. I still have a little bit of bruising that has not completely faded but you can clearly see that there has been no significant Improvement. If anything I think I look worse. And I have lost volume in my butt. My butt is getting smaller. This is horrific. I never thought that I would come out looking worse after spending so much money. This is extremely depressing.

Girl! That's exactly how I feel. I did the tx and it looks worse. It's going to be about one month after and I don't see any improvements. If anything it looks worse.
July 19, 2021
Yeah same here. You can clearly see in the pics taken by the dr that there is little to no improvemnt. I am very deoressed over this. Now I'm losing my butt volume. It was suppose to redistribute fat, not reduce volume. I hope you have better results.
July 20, 2021
Im so sorry this is the outcome for you. Thank you for sharing your experience... despite your kind review of the practice that gave you the injections hopefully you are able to spare someone else the misfortune of going to the same place. Not only did they charge you more than average but they feel obligated to do nothing about the fact that he delivered no improvement? Good thing to for people to know. Thats truly just unacceptable. All the time and pain and money just to feel worse.
My heart goes out to you
July 20, 2021
Thank you for your kind words. I'm still in disbelief at my results and the fact that I'm losing volume in my butt just makes it worse. QWO is supposed to redistributes fat not remove it. It's just awful. Good luck to you.
July 20, 2021
I truly feel that your doctor should have the decency to figure outvwhat went wrong and correct this for you. Its not like you just have a varisble outcome... your results indicate that something went wrong either with his supply or technique but either way to have no improvement at all... its just not okay. Thats practically fraud. Anyone can inject you with saline and cause some slight bruising and swelling for a while and charge you 4500 for it. If hes not a fraud he should make this right. Imho
July 21, 2021
Omg I feel like it is worse too. I even said that at my last visit.
I'm almost 2 weeks from my 3rd shots and I feel like my dimpling is deeper and I've lost volume!
July 21, 2021
Oh no, I'm so sorry. I noticed that losing volume makes the dimpling even worse. I'm just praying to God that I don't keep losing volume. I feel depressed and hopeless.
July 22, 2021
I've noticed I'm losing volume too. I feel so depressed. I felt like this was finally going to be something that would help. I was so excited and hopeful.
I go back Aug 13th for my final pictures. I'm hoping they are willing to do something to help improve the outcome. Has you Dr. offered to do anything for you?
July 22, 2021
Same I'm lossing volume. My cellulite wasn't noticed when using leggings now its is. They need to stop this it makes cellulite look worse
July 27, 2021
Same! I put on my leggings today to go to the gym and I look awful! On top of losing volume!! I hate how I look and I'm super depressed over it. Crying my eyes out!!
