Seven weeks ago Campbell Live brought you the story of Dave Pratt, the
man without the six-pack who wanted one so badly he went under the knife to get
it.
Mr Pratt wasn't fat - he goes to the gym and eats
well, but nothing would burn the fat away to reveal abs of
steel.
He put himself through up to eight hours of
exercise every week. He looked good, but wasn't completely
satisfied.
So he employed the help of Dr Mark Gray and his
high-definition lipo-selection process. There were photos, drawings, and then it
was off to surgery.
Mr Pratt's fat was liquefied with an
ultrasonic probe and sucked out. Seven weeks on it was time for the big
reveal.
Post-surgery, Mr Pratt had a week off work and
spent time in a compression suit. Now things are back to normal. From the top
down, the pecs, the rectus abdominis and the external obliques are all easily
visible to the naked eye.
"I feel a lot more confident
about getting my shirt off," says Mr Pratt. "I wasn't too confident about that
beforehand, but yeah, definitely a lot more confident about my
body."
In total, Dr Gray sucked out a litre of fat - less
than 1kg. Mr Pratt's handful of fat has now been reduced to a just a pinch.
Getting a body this way does not come cheap, and it does
not mean Mr Pratt will look like this forever.
But this
gives him a jump start, if you like.
Mr Pratt is
continuing to go to the gym, keeping it off, and looking forward to
summer.
