Sue's Own Fat Removal Story

When we got our lovely new Vaser in the clinic, I went along to see the surgeons training with their visiting surgeon trainer who had come from the U.S.

Guess what? The last 'model' for the day got delayed, and couldn't make it on time. The surgeons needed one last case to do, otherwise the course wouldn't be finished, and they wouldn't get their Certificates of Completion that day. The training surgeon was going back to the U.S. that evening, so this wasn't looking too good.

I heard myself say "That's o.k. guys, you can work on me". There was a sigh of relief from the surgeons, and I was whisked into the next room to be photographed, and to have my medical history taken. It was only when I was sitting down that what I'd said hit me. What had I gone and done this time?

I reminded myself that although my weight and height were in proportion, my tummy really annoyed me, and had done for a long time. Over the past few years, I had aquired a pouch of stubborn fat around my middle, and I had the dreaded 'love handles' thing going on.
No turning back now, so in I went to the procedure room, only this time I was the patient!

I'd seen this procedure done several times before, but it was rather odd to be on the table myself. "Never mind", I thought to myself, "when I'm asked what it feels like, I can say exactly what my experience was".

I have to say, besides the occasional 'scratching' sensation, I was perfectly comfortable. Then I remembered, I was supposed to pick up my friend Carla from work! Our nurse offered to make the call for me, so Carla could make other arrangements. Carla didn't believe it when she heard what I was up to, so the nurse handed me the 'phone.
Here I am, talking to Carla on the 'phone, while two surgeons are reducing my fat!



The next day I was uncomfortable when I got up in the morning, but after downing some painkillers, I felt fine. Mind you, I wasn't really up for anything too energetic for a couple of days...

Here's my before and after pictures. Some difference, don't you think?
I had 3 areas done, and you can clearly see that not only has my tummy reduced in size, my side is slimmer and smoother, but that ugly fold of fat on my back was sorted out too.



I'm not sure if you can make it out from my 'after' 'photo, but I was so pleased with my new silhouette, I went and had my belly button pierced. I've always wanted to do that....
