Age 45, 3 Kids, Liposuction Left Me with Bumps but It's Still Worth It

we must have done this at the same time. mine was june 4th. my skin is gettin better, my dr asst said the lumps will go away and alot of it has. im talking bout the hard lumps under the skin and the bruising, slow healing process..i read we are supposed to see final results in 6-9 months.. so i think we both need to give it some time.. how was your skin after the first surgery? you can have your figure back at 45... i do

Thanks for asking... 6 and a half months Post op, lumps have gone down quite a bit, I can still see scaring under skin surface, i am told it takes a good 9 months for all to be healed but this was major surgery and all surgeries take time to heal. I do have some uneven places on my lower abdomen area. I think he missed some places. hopefully with diet and excersize that fat will disapate. Im still slightly tender to the touch on the sides. like if someone grabs me on the side i make a face a ohhh sound.. other than that my lipo went well.but the recovery is a you what a big B.. very very VERY uncomfortable.. Breasts.. just so you know which i was NOT informed of at my consult . Dr Salas ONLY does on top of the muscle and high profile smooth round inplants. something i did not want. my fault for not asking but more his for not informing. they tend to think more for most women rather than individual. and im NOT most women. i wanted more natural (which i said) over and over again. I assumed i was getting under the muscle (more safe) and Low profile (more natural look).. I found after the fact and just cried!!!. The healing time for over the muscle is less my boobs were a breeze. he didi not take his time on my lift im slightly off on the nipples. any thing else feel free to ask me.. i will gladly update my experiance with this preceedure~ Tamara~

Hi Tamara, I am so glad I read your review, because I was seriously considering Dr. Salas. The only setback I am having is that he told me that he only uses silicone inplants and I wanted Saline. I am also glad that you mentioned your BA experience because I definetly want under the muscle inplants. As to the lipo...he stated that I would benefit more from a tummy tuck vs. lipo. I have had two c-sections and I think I have good skin elasticity. I am 34 y/o, been physically active since my late teens with the exception of this last year (I had a high risk pregnancy). I just want the fat from the pouch on my tummy and the upper ab to be minimized if not completely gone but I don't expect perfection. I would opt to keep my lovely pouch than having to have a tummy tuck....which would be similar to the recuperation from a c-section. How long did it take you to recup..from BA? By the time I want to get my BA, my baby will be 10 months and I would need to start caring for him about 1 week after the surgery....my mom will help me the first week...I'll be off for 4 weeks....my husband works out of town and won't be able to take time off... Any feedback is helpful. Thanks in advance Tamara :) Selenia

P.S. You paid $2300 for the lipo and BA? Wow...

I paid 6000.00 $3800.-was BA with a lift.. I went from a B to a D.... $2200. for the Lipo just the stomach sec was 18 then an extra $400. for the ypper back lower shoulder area(Lats) He drops the Price for adding more preceedures..Then you will pay about 300$ for garments and MEds I went to 2 Dr's near me just for Consultations to get an Idea of cost and what they had to say. So when Dr Salas said i need a lift I just went with it, Im ok with all that, Have you had any consutlations ? you should do a couple near you and just see if they mention if you need a tummy T. If I was you knowing what i know Now after the Fact I might Opt for surgery here in the god ole usa.(ESPECIALLY if you do a tummy tuck. BA with salas if fine but not TT.. There are Drs that will keep you overnight for a Tummy tuck in Usa...Where are you located? THe reason i went to Salas. My Best friend(s) and thier Aunt ans Daughter in law and another friend had allready gon to see him so i allready trusted him. But now It scares me to Death to think about it. He also did Lipo on my 70 yr old Mom.. they took out 8 litres (OMG i said after are you kidding me?? isn'e that Dangerous.. lol dangerous.. like the plastic surgery in another counrty is not bad enough..

thank you !! they are just firm cant really squeeze them . yes silicon over the muscle . I dont remember the ccs . I am a 36 D 5'7 145 pounds

lower belly area around belly button . a little on the sides and yes lumpy not smooth and can see the underlying scars , after 4 and a half years nope has not gone away..scars dont .. I would NOT do lipo if I hat it to do over again . eat right and do cardio exercises . its not easy but there is no magic fix !

I have done the lymphatic messages, self message, hot compresses, swim 45 minutes each day, and CG 24/7. I have tried eating well. I see several people do revisions but I do not think I will do so. I will just have to live with the end results since my waist looks way better with clothes on but my jeans still fit just the same minus the muffin top. Thanks for your honest report on your experience.
