4 weeks out and I love the new me - So let me start off by saying I'm 5'6" and at the time of my procedure, weighed 203 lbs. I consulted with Dr Carreon and decided to get upper abs, lower abs, love handles, pubis, waist and bra line.The day of the procedure, I barely remember a thing. I was well sedated and remember very little of the procedure. I remember my abdomen and back feeling very heavy. Dr Carreon and staff were amazing and I left feeling as if I was well educated on exactly what to expect.It took some time but I'm very pleased with my results. The swelling was worse than I had imagined for the first 3 weeks. I'm not going to lie, there were times when I wondered why I spent the money. But sometimes around week 4, things really changed. The pics I am posting are from the night before vs. Week 4.The difference is amazing and my waist is to die for! All I wanted was to look good in jeans and I do. I still have some pockets of swelling on my lower abdomen so I wouldn't be surprised if my body continues to become more shapely. Thanks Dr Carreon More
3 Weeks In & Loving It - So I’m three weeks post Smart Lipo and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The doctor mentions that you should go in with the menatlity/idea that you should expect at least 50% resulys but it definitely feels/looks closer to 70-80%. If you can be happy with that type if results then definitely DO IT.Initially I was skeptical as to how much the doctor could do with a males body but she definitely targeted those areas that were of high concern for me and she did them SO WELL.A would without a doubt do it again.

Great Experience with Dr. Carreon & Staff - - Initial meeting :My fiancé did a lot of research on Lipo and new minimal invasive treatments similar to Lipo and he landed on Dr. Carreon for his procedure ( which is still a couple weeks away). He convinced me to also get a consultation and was very confident Dr. Carreon could deliver the results we were looking for. As soon as I met Dr. Carreon she made me few comforted and confident in this journey. Her staff is amazing especially priscilla , she has answered every question and is so nice ! Procedure:A Key to prepping for the procedure , knowing the procedure process and how to take care of yourself post op - read all the paperwork ! My fiancé read it to me so many times that when I went in the day of my procedure I knew which boxes we were checking off . I slept through 95% of my procedure. I just remember being cold at times and flipping over . It was easy - I would do it again. Post op :I am writing this on day 10 and I feel great, might workout today! The first three days I had more bruising and then just tender areas after that. The worst part is wearing both garments day and night. Sleeping has been difficult because it's so uncomfortable and I wake up a lot to just walk a bit and adjust myself . My advice :This journey is about you which requires a lot of self love. Dr Carreon does her job the day of the procedure but it's your job to eat well, follow her advice , do additional research, take your vitamins , create a plan that will help you reach your body goals because it's not going to happen over night. My current concern:I do have a hard lumpy area around my tummy. I've been massaging it but I'm hoping Dr. C can provide more direction and feedback this week when I meet with her for my first post op appointment. More
Dr. Carreon and her staff are amazing - I have to say Dr. Carreon and her staff are amazing. They did all the procedural safeguards and made me feel comfortable. I’m only a few days post op but I already see fantastic results. She was honest about what to expect. I’m still swollen with some pain. I'm following all her recommendations far as keeping my garment on . I can’t wait until most swelling go down because I’m already ecstatic. More
Smart lipo - I cannot believe my results - She is amazing! I got smart lipo in my lower/upper abs pubic sides and my bra roll. My results do far have been amazing it's do crazy how small my stomach is. I'm 10 days post op and went for my first lymphatic massage (wish I went sooner) as I was starting to get fibrosis in some areas. I highly recommend them as they will make you feel so much better.I should have went 24-48 hours after my surgery. The swelling is there especially in my pubic area at times it was really scary but completely normal. But so far so good I cannot believe my results. The doctors assistance are amazing as well and always available for any questions I have. There bedside manner is so nice and they walk you thru every step of the process. If I could do it again I would with the same doctor no questions asked. More
I can already see my figure coming in - So far on day 4 post op (surgery done 02/05/20) but I can already see my figure coming in! It's been uncomfortable, but worth it so far! I got my upper/lower abdomen, waist, pubic, and bra rolls done for round one. I go back 03/04/2020 for my arms and upset back. More
Outstanding 360 Smartlipo Triplex - I'm a 52 yr old format at 240lbs. I'm 2wks in and I'm still swollen but I can see a huge difference already. If you wear your garments like she tells you and diet/exercise. Then you will be very pleased with her services. The doctor is honest and straight forward with what she can do for you. She will give you a new dream body within reason without taking you to the cleaners. She has low affordable prices. More

Loving my new body - Dr.Carreon has really changed my life. I had lipo with her a couple of weeks ago and my body has never looked so small. Dr. Carreon really does all she can to give the best results. Her office is very knowledgeable. They really show how much they care for their patients from the call the day before the procedure to the call the day after. I have recommended Dr. Carreon to all my friends and... More
28, No Children and Wanted to Have a Beautiful Body While I’m Still Young - Dr. Carreon and her staff have been very friendly and helpful thus far and also one of the most affordable in this area. You don’t have much interaction with the doctor, except when it’s time to have the procedure done. I do wish we had more facetime together. However, when we met she was very kind and welcomed me with hug. The other downside is I could feel what was happening during the procedure for about 10 minutes, it was horrible pain. I should have been given more medicine. More
OMG!! - OMG!!! I owe everything to Dr. Carreon! She changed my body and life for the better. I actually don't dread clothes shopping now. She was honest and realistic with what she told me and the results speak for themselves. My results are beyond what I expected. The staff was so sweet and treated me like family. They were very helpful for the whole process from the moment I called to my last... More
I had an amazing experience - Dr. Melanie Carreon is an excellent doctor. She was my primary care physician before moving over to the cosmetics side. Had some cosmetic work done (liposuction) and the results came out great. She is a very smart and talented doctor. Highly recommend her. Her staff is awesome, too!! Very nice and cordial and will guide you through the process. More
Best doctor and best staff - I had smartlipo with Dr. Carreon and had such a great experience. The staff made the consultation and booking really smooth.

Professional and courteous staff. - Dr. Carreon and her staff were amazing. I received royalty treatment from day 1 of my initial consultation. I had smart lipo triplex with the doctor on my upper and lower abdomen and flanks. The procedure took less time then I thought. The staff was very helpful and caring. Final results vary and actually took a little longer than expected but overall I am very satisfied with my results. I... More
