Each day I wake up and look in the mirror I am amazed, not only about how good I look now, but more importantly how great I feel. From the time I was a kid my belly looked out of proportion to the rest of my body. It was a problem buying and looking good in clothes, and as far as how I looked out of clothes, let’s just not go there! The negative self-image I had took a grasp of my mind and it prevented me from enjoying life. Though my friends and parents said I looked great the way I was, I knew otherwise.
I am a very active person who knows the importance of diet and exercise and despite all efforts, the bulge of my midsection wouldn’t budge. I was told it was in my genes, well I wanted it out of my ‘jeans’. I considered having traditional liposuction but I was scared off by the thought of being put to sleep with and didn’t have sufficient time to recuperate from the procedure due to work demands.
My research then led me to laser liposuction, which I understood to be a more timid form of liposuction. I became excited when I found out it could be performed under local anesthesia while I was awake and the time required to recuperate was minimal. This seemed to good to be true. All the information pointed to Slimlipo being the latest and greatest technology for laser liposuction. I carefully scrutinized each doctor’s reputation that performed the procedure in New Jersey and New York. Every post and review that I came upon that mentioned Dr. Chasin and Reflections was incredibly positive. They spoke not only about the wonderful results but also about the caring elicited by each of the members of the reflections team and how organized and detailed the process was.
The reviews were all true! I felt very comfortable every step along the way, from the day of my consult, to the time spent getting prepared for my treatment, to the procedure itself.
Treatment day went so well, in part because the wonderful staff prepared me so well as to what to expect. Dr. Chasin was so kind and gentle and let me know what he was doing every step along the way. His confidence, experience and know-how was obvious! I was in the best of hands. The center where the procedure was done was beautiful, spotless and high tech. Other than a few little pinches here and there, I felt almost nothing. I actually watched a movie during the treatment.
After the treatment was done, I looked at my belly and couldn’t believe it was me. It was the body I always dreamed of. Dr. Chasin told me that it would only get better with time and he was right. Week after week, month after month, it actually continued to improve. I didn’t think that was possible. I bought new clothes, I actually now wear a two piece bathing suit for the first time. I am for the first time excited with the reflection I see in the mirror. My family and friends are so excited for me too (and jealous).
My confidence level is soaring, with guys, with work, with life. I owe so much to Dr. Chasin and Reflections. They gave me the gift of happiness. They are my friends for life.*
