Fat Transfer Story: Lower Belly, Belly Rolls and Saddlebags All Gone, for an Effortlessly Slim Figure

"I love taking photos and want to look great in every one. Every summer I wear a bikini to the beach, but in a swimsuit my saddlebags bulge out and my lower belly clearly sticks out..."

I'm Lulu. All my life I've had slim arms and legs but a body that stores fat around the belly, with no waist and a slightly protruding lower belly that wouldn't slim down no matter what. So I considered liposuction. I'm very much a doer: from first thinking about liposuction to actually having it took less than a month.

Liposuction can be painful afterward or leave large bruises, but I have a high pain tolerance and wasn't worried about a longer recovery. I see it as part of getting beautiful: if a little pain buys a better figure, it's absolutely worth it.

I chose VASER liposuction because it's the best liposuction technique available. If I'm spending that much on liposuction, of course I want the newest, best technique. Also, fat cells harvested with VASER have a survival rate of up to 70%, so they can be used to fill smile lines, the upper chest, buttocks and more, improving my overall figure.

Renuvion made a noticeable difference in firming

After VASER liposuction I only wore the compression garment for two weeks. I had surgery in summer, and my skin is allergy-prone, so the garment rubbing against sweaty skin often made me itchy, and I had to take it off.

Luckily, besides VASER liposuction I'd also added Renuvion. It shortened the time I needed the compression garment, kept swelling down, and kept my skin firm and elastic after surgery. I'm so glad I paid a bit more for Renuvion; it was really worth it!

VASER liposuction flattened my lower belly: goodbye, belly rolls

It's been almost six months since my VASER liposuction and fat transfer, and I give it 7 overall. The main reason is that my ribs are naturally wide, so my waistline improved only so much. The doctor mentioned at the consultation that, given my bone structure, VASER alone couldn't make a big difference there, and only waist reduction surgery removing the floating ribs could fix a naturally straight waist. That's well beyond the surgical risk I'm willing to take, so I'm not considering it for now. Still, VASER really did flatten my lower belly, and belly rolls no longer appear when I sit down, which I'm very happy with.

Reusing fat: fat transfer for a refined figure

For the fat transfer, since I care a lot about how I look in photos, I chose the areas I was least happy with. My upper chest and buttocks were lacking, so fat harvested with VASER was transferred back to make them fuller. I also had my smile lines filled at the same time.

Fat transfer does have a downside. I remember that right after surgery it was like having hyaluronic acid: instant results that I loved. But after recovery, some of the fat is lost. I did fat transfer to the breasts because VASER had already removed the fat, and I didn't want it to go to waste. If you're having fat transfer to the breasts, I'd advise transferring more; don't be as conservative as I was. Allow for some fat loss up front so you don't regret it later.

More confidence after surgery, and more admirers

After VASER liposuction and fat transfer, I see three big changes. First, more confidence. My lower belly doesn't pop out when I sit anymore, I'm no longer afraid of how others see me, and I'm more confident and happier with my photos.

Second, a much wider choice of clothes. With the fat transfer, I can buy more fitted, sexy clothes, even midriff-baring styles, and pull them off easily. In any pants or fitted skirt my belly is flat with nothing squeezing out, and I don't have to dress to hide a protruding belly or saddlebags.

Third, more admirers. When I go out, it's easier to meet new people. Old friends say I've gotten prettier and slimmer, I turn more heads on the street, and men have even approached me a few times. All these changes have made me more confident and more beautiful.

Three reasons I chose NAISS CLINIC

A friend first referred me to NAISS CLINIC, but when I looked it up, I found it's certified by the manufacturers of VASER and Renuvion. That made me feel safe having surgery here, and if anything did go wrong, the clinic would help with follow-up care, which is more reassuring.

I'd also had breast augmentation before with Dr. Hou-Geng Liu, and VASER liposuction and Renuvion happen to be his specialties too. Since I trust his skill, I was very comfortable having him operate again at NAISS CLINIC.

Finally, after surgery, nurses gave me nutrient IV drips and laser scar treatments at every follow-up. You're not left on your own once the surgery's done; NAISS CLINIC has dedicated staff arranging aftercare. It sped up healing, and I'm very happy with the high-quality service.

Before After

To anyone considering VASER liposuction with fat transfer...

As someone who's had VASER liposuction and fat transfer, if you're getting VASER, I highly recommend adding Renuvion. Your skin really doesn't sag afterward, and recovery goes more smoothly. As for fat transfer, some fat is always lost, so transfer extra to still get good results afterward.

"Pain is temporary; beauty lasts a lifetime"

I'm quite lazy and sometimes overindulge, and since I don't like exercise, fat builds up noticeably on my belly, especially in photos or when sitting, where my saddlebags and lower belly are plain to see. VASER liposuction solves stubborn fat fastest and once and for all. With any aesthetic treatment that makes you better, the sooner you do it, the sooner you enjoy it. Take lots of photos while you're young and out having fun, so you look more confident and beautiful in them. When you're older and look back on those precious memories, you'll be glad you decided to invest in aesthetic medicine!
