One thing I believe that makes a procedure of this nature successful is TRUST….

You have to feel comfortable with your doctor and have every conviction that his expert hands are going to guide you safely through.  Doctor Gordon Cohen was extremely professional and no less patient, performing a procedure that extended over five hours with a camera crew filming throughout!
There are three main steps to this process of fat removal.  The targeted area is first subjected to tiny multiple acupuncture-like injections that instantly numb your skin. Then a 1mm probe is inserted into the area.  It contains the solution that the laser beam reacts with. The last step involves moving the laser up and down under the skin. Though you can’t actually feel the movement of the probe, you can sense all your fat being melted into oblivion (hooray!). I found this fascinating to watch on the camera monitor provided. As the fat starts to melt, the picture on the screen changes colour, turning a pasty yellow. This 3-step process was applied to each of the four areas I had treated – my upper tummy, lower tummy and side handles.
It has been three days since the procedure.  I am wearing a support brace to reduce the swelling. Those of you who have done an AB class at the gym, will know the slight tenderness I am feeling. You will feel like this for three to four days after.  I do have some bruising but being a fair-skinned redhead that was to be expected. Tomorrow my stitches come out and I look forward to the results of a slimmer, leaner me!
