Answer Snippet
SculpSure. Would five treatments in the same area be too many?
How much is too much?
Sep 15, 2017
Most patients achieve a 20-25% fat reduction in the area treated with each SculpSure treatment. If the result you wish to achieve can be managed with SculpSure, then it is safe to proceed with multiple SculpSure treatments spaced 6-8 weeks apart. It is best to consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon that offers SculpSure as well as surgical options for body contouring. There are a number of things to consider: Are you willing to undergo a surgical...
About 9 weeks ago I had a Sculpsure treatment on the flanks but I am concerned as I still cannot see
Not Seeing Results
Sep 8, 2017
I would be curious if you or your treatment provider have taken photos before treatment and after. Ideally, your B&A photos should be wearing the same attire. Because the results are gradual, many patients don't immediately see the results until they have viewed their pre-treatment photos with their post-treatment photos. While some patients begin seeing results as early as 6 weeks, optimal results are usually seen around 12 weeks. Perhaps, it's a little too early and your...
Could SculpSure applicators not work as well as others? Didn't feel heat on one side. Could it effec
Completely Normal Experience
Aug 24, 2017
I find with our patients, that many people experience a more intense treatment on one side versus the other. The device is continually delivering energy to the treatment area. How intense the treatment feels is not an indicator of the results that you will achieve. I see many times during the first 4 minutes of the treatment that the nerve endings are confused by the hot/cold cycles and the brain is trying to register is the treatment hot or cold. After that 4 minutes...
I had Sculpsure over a week ago. I'm extremely sore and now have a bruise on the treatment area. Is
Post-SculpSure Soreness
Jun 15, 2017
The soreness that you are describing is very common following a SculpSure treatment. Some patients describe the sensation as just soreness or a feeling like the area is bruised. We inform our patients to expect this type of soreness for up to 2 weeks following the procedure. It will resolve on its own with out any treatment. However some patients have stated that over the counter anti-inflammatory medication like Aleve or ibuprofen has helped.
28 Years Old With Eye Bags - Eyelid Surgery Only Option?
If it were me, I would choose surgery.
Apr 20, 2011
The transconjuctival removal of fat will permanently fix your problem.  The use of injectable fillers sounds easy but sometimes can give a "ground glass" appearance to the tissues lying just superficial to them.  Fillers are not permanent but, in the upper cheek/lower eyelid they tend to stay around for much longer than elsewhere (1-2 years).
