Worth It
Spent: $4,000 in Miami, FL

I always had a lot of fat around my belly! I hated it soo much because I could never wear something without the fat hanging over!I finally decided to go with my Dr. after browsing around. I am too happy with my results and as of today Im only 3 days post op!

I had traditional lipo wit the wet technique done to my entire abdomen and upper back! Listen to me when I say I saw immediate results after surgey and I was still swollen.

The pain was mild after surgey. Although they perscibed pain medication I only need needed Tylenol extra strength and I even went to class the next day.

It was a great experience. I wasnt in a lot of pain at all. In fact I took Tylenol only.I am truly happy with my results.

 I stop wearin that darn garnment a longtime ago. I just got sick of it! So maybe thats y im still a lil swollen at 2 weeks! All I know is that im happy with my results!

I had traditional Lipo done last week. I am amazed with the results and I feel that I see my final results but my surgeon keeps telling me that my waist is goig to go in and I wont see the final results for atleast 5-6 months. Is this true because I have always been a ruler shape and thats why i think i see my final results. Is this my final result?

My Doctor:

He is so down to earth. Easy to talk to. When it comes to surgery though he is very serious. You will love your new look!!

so you were put under general anesthia? do you have any scars or lumpy areas?
SexxiChocolate (27 posts) 25 Oct 2009
yes I was put under general anesthesia. I dont have any scars. I have incisions that are healing up. really small some i actually have to look for!
SexxiChocolate (27 posts) 25 Oct 2009
No lumpy areas everything pretty much even. it feels hard but my doc told me to massage the area. It works!
flawed beauty (34 posts) 26 Oct 2009
can I ask why you opted for general anesthesia instead of local?
flawed beauty (34 posts) 26 Oct 2009
do you know how many hours your procedure took and how much fat the doc took from you?
SexxiChocolate (27 posts) 26 Oct 2009
I wanted general anesthesia because I didnt want to be awake during the procedure and because you are asleep it extends the amount of time they can work on you. I dont know how much fat was taken out but I know it took 3 hours!

Great result! I'm happy for you!!
SexxiChocolate (27 posts) 27 Oct 2009
Thanks soo much!!! Did you ever go back to pre-op size? I hope so because it looked sooo good!
kimwhite (49 posts) 28 Oct 2009
The picture of me smaller wasnt preop it was just after the surgery. I was swollen so I guess thats why my results looked so different then now. Unfortunately, I need a revision! Horrible results! You, on the other hand, look great. I wish you the best of luck with healing! Keep sharing, it really helps.

Definitely don't go buy an entire new wardrobe just yet. I definitely had a shape change from 4 weeks to 11 weeks, so be patient because it is likely to get even better. glad things went well for you. I know it was the best decision for me.

I would think one week out you still have swelling! Looking good and congrats! :-)

I'm impressed. Very good results.. I sort of have a similar body and Im planning to get a procedure just like yours. But there is one thing that is scaring me ,scaring.. Because i have heard that black ethnic scarred badly. Please post more pics..
SexxiChocolate (27 posts) 23 Nov 2009
I didnt scar bad at all. Ite the equivalent of get nicked by a wire. mine have healed up quickly. some i have to even search for because they are hard to find.

Amazing.

This patient has amazing results. Her doctor is a true talent...
shestarr (26 posts) 25 Nov 2009
wow, girly! I am PRAYING my results turn out as good as yours! I had my upper/lower abs done last week and could see immediate change, but I am expecting much more. Your 4 wks pic is unbelievably amazing! I'm going to Miami at the end of this year (thus why I rushed to get my lipo 6wks out). But now I'm wondering if I should've just waited and hired YOUR Doc? lol. Your pics give me hope. I will hopefully post my pics/story on here tomorow.

ps: Where are your pics of your upper back??? (I had my back done as well)
