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.

Year post-op
So it's been well over a year since my procedure and I have to say that I wish I hadn't gotten it done. I still have some pains mainly on my outer thighs probably from nerve damage. Nothing unbearable but I didn't have that before. Also I have notice significant weight gain in my chest and stomach areas that I hadn't had before. I have gained about 8 lbs since my surgery so I realize that this has a bit to do with that.
The outer part of my legs looks smoother overall but probably not noticable to anyone else besides myself. Unfortunately the back of my leg that meets my butt area now has two creases instead of just the one. This is what bothers me the most since it just looks so unnatural and makes me appear heavier than I am. The Velshape worked a liitle bit to diminish this but did not eliminate it and the change was only temporary. I was told another lipo surgery "might" take care of it but I don't think I want to go thru all this again. Ultimately just a huge disappointment since I'm even less comfortable in a bathing suit than before and I've never had issues with that. =(

So it's now been almost 5 months since my surgery. I'm still iffy about the actual results versus the pain/cost. I had to wear a compression garment 24/7 until just a few weeks ago because of the soreness. I still have some acute (on and off) soreness in areas and definitely some lumps/scarring. I now have 2 lines on the back of my legs where my buttocks hang. Not sure if this is cause by still being swollen or not.
On a side note, I just started Velashape on my outer thighs and back of my legs near my buttocks and have seen significant results in decreasing the extra "fat" in that area causing the double lines. I had my 2nd treatment today and so far so good! Definite improvement overall and it seems to be helping the lumps/scarring as well.

I'm about 3 weeks post-op and still have significant numbness and some pain. I have noticed that sitting for long periods seems to make it worse which sucks for me since I have a desk job. =(
I have noticed that some of the previous lumpy areas on my outer thighs is gone so that's a relief. I am however starting to notice more hard lumps in areas especially my inner thighs. I'm hoping to get back to the gym in another week or so.
