Plastic surgery or that new ice fat removal

[boccob81 244]

Here is what might be a weird question? Has any one tried the ice sculpting fat removal over plastic surgery ?

And did you have to pay out of pocket ?

Did any one change insurances before they had the plastic surgery ?

boccob81,

I have had Venus freeze on my neck and arms. I am currently getting it on my legs. I am planning to have it on my stomach last. It costs me $1,000.00 per area. It worked very well on my neck. I have a friend who had the lap band and had it done on her neck but she wasn't as pleased with the results. She wasn't in a steady loss of weight though. The Venus freeze works better if you are still losing weight. If you gain and then lose, gain and then lose--it won't work as well. She was told this before the procedure but I don't think she was actively listening.

I also use firming moisturizer EVERY DAY. I'm doing everything I can to avoid the expense of plastic surgery. I don't want to go through the pain either.

I'm in no way denigrating plastic surgery. If you have that option---more power to you.

My insurance will not cover Venus freeze or plastic surgery because I do not have skin issues, such as a rash from loose skin.

Blessings,

Kathleen

Which firming lotion are you using?

I wasn't using a firming lotion until recently. I just started using Jergins firming lotion on my neck, arms and legs.

What does that stuff do

[Katcloudshepherd 630]

Hi boccob81,

The firming lotion was recommended by the technician who is performing my Venus freeze treatments. It is supposed to firm the skin if you use it every day. I'm willing to try it. I got it in the Post eXchange, (PX-store on military post). It was around 7 or 8 dollars for a large bottle. I use it religiously once a day.

Blessings,

Full body or just on selective area

boccob81,

I use it only on the areas I have had the Venus Freeze on. My neck, arms and right now I'm getting the treatments on my legs so I apply it to my legs as well.

My skin seems to be firming on my legs--don't know if it's the Venus Freeze or lotion or both.

Blessings,

Kathleen
