The liposuction diaries - Inch Loss Island - 21 May 2008

Posted by Felicity 6 comments


Getting there...

So I went for my second Ultrashape treatment on Wednesday at the I Care For My Body clinic in Knightsbridge. Thankfully, this time the treatment was completely painless. Last week I mentioned that I have managed to shed 12lb, well, as of this Monday it was officially a stone (yippee!). What I also discovered when my therapist Melissa measured me prior to the treatment was that I have lost five and a half centimetres off my thighs (double yippee!).

Now this is very heartening, but most of the people I have told about this have countered that because I’ve lost a stone, then surely that’s as a result of the diet and exercise? Well yes of course, but what’s really interesting here is that the saddlebags are indeed much smaller. Back in the day, in that blissfully small four week window around my wedding when I was at my target weight, those saddlebags were much larger, and in some ways more noticeable (hence my bikini anxiety on the beach during my honeymoon). So, it figures that this Ultrashape treatment is actually working.

Great news for all – but I still have a slight problem with the fact that, depending on the size of the areas to be treated, it can cost around £700 per treatment. That’s a lot of lolly. But I suppose if you really hate what you have and have tried everything, then spending that sort of cash to remove what in effect amounts to the personification of low self esteem isn’t such a high price to pay. Or is it? Is this the sort of money you would pay to exorcise your fatty demon?

How much does it cost

Hi Lesley

It can cost anything from £500 - £750 per treatment, depending on the size of the area you are treating. The therapists usually recommend you have at least two if not three or four treatments to get the best results so, £2,000 - £3,000 overall would be a fair estimate. That's in the same league as real liposuction, but with none of the pain, risk or recovery time.

The details of the clinic can be found by clicking on the name in the post above, and they should be able to advise in whether this treatment is ideal for you. Felicity did describe some painful sensations during the first treatment - have a look at her entry called 'Ultrashape road test' for more info

I have recently been looking at this, it's called Mediterranean Weight Loss. Their website is www.mediterraneanweigtloss.co.uk My opinion is that if one wants to loose weight, try and do something that you will enjoy, that way you will stand a better chance of keeping the weight off. Just the location tempted me.
