80% of Spring reviewers said Liposuction was worth it
After more than a year of thinking it over, I have decided to go through with liposuction to remove excess fat around my waist. I am 26 years old and 175 lbs. over the past 2 years my weight has bounced around between 145 and 190. I have always stored my weight around my waist and I hate my stomach too. I took the treatment and I am very happy that my bumps are nearly nonexistent and very... more
Hey Dolls! Well to make a long story short, liposuction has really been on my mind. I have my very first consultation on 3/05 and curious if I can go through with it. I mean I really want it but I've never been through surgery before so I'm nervous of the recovery. I'm 29 and in between 5'6 5'7 and weigh 168 no children. However even at my smallest weight I never had curves and always had that... more
After years of never finding clothes that fit right or that were uncomfortable and pondering whether or not I wanted to do lipo, I finally decided to take the plunge. I only had a small amount removed, saddlebags and love handles, approx. 2.5 lbs worth. What a difference it's made, I look so much better and my pants/skirts fit well. For the first couple of days, I was clearly in the "what... more
I don't remember the last time I wore shorts in public. Over the past 3 years I have gained a considerable amount of weight do to arthritis in my back plus scoliosis. I have gotten frustrated with exercising because after a workout, I would have to recover due to back pain. I figured lipo would give me the boost I needed to help my self esteem and get my health back on track. I've done tons of... more

“Old to Me, New Info to You - Houston, TX”
I Had my procedure done by Dr.Newall in 2008 . I had lipo on my upper and lower abdomen as well as arms and lower back. The results at the time were a bit disappointing. I had to begin research to correct my uneven back and arms, and the lumps in my abdomen. He was polite but he did not spend much time with me. Upon follow up he basically looked and so no infection, and this is what you wanted... more
“What Women do to feel Beautiful!! -...”
I am 25 yrs old, and I struggled losing certain areas of fat my body was so graciously storing for me. I exercise at least 3 times a week, and my 3 boys keep me pretty active. I decided that lipo was the best thing for me to get rid of the areas I did not like. My husband of course told me I was beautiful the way I was, but as a woman, I want to feel good about the way I look in the... more
“Fantastic Doctor, Fantastic Results...”
I am fanatical about working out and eating healthy yet there were certain areas on my body that never responded to my efforts to shape them up. It bothered me a lot to see the rolls of fat that just wouldn't go away no matter the workout systems I used or the modifications made to my diet. more
“Happy! Happy! Happy! - Houston, TX”
This forum helped me so much during my search for the right plastic surgeon, and more importantly, the right type of surgery for me....at the time, I was unsure whether I should attempt smart lipo....or vaser lipo. So now I would like to share my experience, which may help someone else. I initially set my mind on smart lipo because the low cost was so alluring. Went for a free consultation... more
“Best Lipo Doctor in Houston, TX”
My immediate concern is that I am hyper allergic to so many medications---and I have a very low pain threshold. I also suffer from ulcerative colitis so I was worried about any potential complications from the procedure. Truly, honestly, I had no problems w/ the procedure, overall experience and the before and after photos I posted really do not do justice w/ how I look in person. I'm... more

“Had Lipo 10 Days Ago and Can't See...”

I am just really a bit frustrated because I can't see any results...the bruising is almost gone and I don't feel really swollen and the problem zones that i wanted to get rid of are exactly the same...I am pretty petite and didn't do it for wait loss (115 ponds) but is it true that you are swollen even though you don't notice and how long for the... more

“Ankle Swelling After Liposuction on Legs”
I had lipo done to my outer thighs and inner thighs (just at the knee area) I would never have this done again. The risks of damage are just to great. I'm not crazy about the results either. How long should swelling of ankles, feet, and back of knee persist after having lipo on legs? more
“22 Days After Lipo and in Severe Pain”
I am 22 days out from abdominal, arms, and inner/outer thigh lipo. I am coming unglued from the nerve pain that has surfaced since the numbness wore off. By the end of the day, I am in tears because the pain is just wearing me down. Nothing seems to work to dim the pain....does anyone know of something that helps? I am doing epsom salts baths, lymphatic drainage massage and wearing my... more
