Post hip area procedure

I had my 2nd area done for the 1st time today. You can see from the pictures it was my "muffin top" area. I sat in one of the chairs you would rest in for an upper back/neck massage with a pillow under my head. They have 2 machines, so she had one at each hip. The suction was a little harder on my left side than my right, and she told me that was because the areas were a little asymetrical so the left side was a bit lower and closer to the bone.
Massaging the lump 'o fat was not NEAR as painful on my hips as it was on my stomach, although all of it was over quickly and not too terrible.
I put my skirt and top back on and was back at my office by 2:20! No one is any the wiser!

Treatment #2 today
Erin74803June 5, 2013
Good morning! Not much to update on treatment #1 from earlier in the week. A few slight twinges of pain, but nothing too much different from a strenuous workout.
I did a complete leg workout on Monday with abs, and I was completely fine, no pain, no tenderness and still lifted heavy.
The top layer of skin still feels numb and most tender around my belly button. My skin does itch a little, but thats really it! I have been VERY diligent to rub in arnica multiple times a day and I have worn spanx every day as well.
Today I go in to have the hip area done. My med-spa has 2 machines so i can do both at the same time and not take more than 1 1/2 hours for lunch. Still contemplating on the 3rd area, if I am going to do it. I am leaning towards my upper back area, or the bra fat roll. Whenever I have been able to get lean that area is always the slowest to react, along with my tummy pooch. Still trying to decide tho....I will post following todays treatment!

Erin74803 I think you are going to have amazing results, especially in that frozen fat roll! I have made my appointment for July 13th, so excited!
Please keep us updated with your pictures. What hurt the most love handles or stomach?

Thank you!! I sure hope so! I set my 2nd appts to be on July 18th, the week after we get back from vacation. That will be 6 weeks post 1st procedures and 8 weeks before a beach trip with my college best friends and 20th year HS reunion!! I would definitely say that my stomach was worse. Nothing too terrible, really, and the massaging after was worse than procedure! Really the only sensitive area I have now is around my belly button!

I am no expert but I can understand why your stomach hurt much more than your sides. I have always had sensitivity in my fatty areas like my under arms, inner tighs, stomach. I hate when friends pinch my arms right where the fat is, I find it painful, whereas I have no sensitivity in my toned areas. This is why I said earlier that your stomach was going to be dramatic, like they said they had had a good harvest of fatty cells. We women collect fat around our midsection for preparing our bodies for pregnancy, that's just how we are designed. So I think it is nomal if we have to undergo a little discomfort for great results without the risks of anesthesia or invasive treatments. Keep posting and I have read that ironically ice helps if you were to feel pain.
