Going for a shapelier midsection through SmartLipo and will get a fat transfer to my butt in the process! - Austin, TX
I'm 32 years old and have been chubby or...
I'm 32 years old and have been chubby or overweight most of my life. I am very active in social sports and keep a relatively healthy lifestyle, but could do better. A few months ago, I set the intention to change my eating habits (and drinking habits!), to become more healthy and finally lose this weight I've been carrying around! I'm hoping these procedures give me the confidence that I need to have a good, solid platform to live out my healthy lifestyle.
I just spoke to my consultant at Westlake...

I have a whole list of questions that I want to...
How many smart lipo procedures (in the areas I'm interested in) have you done? How many fat transfers to the buttocks have you done?
Do you recommend taking Arnica Montana or Bromelain before/after the procedure?
What about my existing medications?
Do I need to stop skincare regimens?
Do you take before and after pics? If so, do you send me a copy?
After assessing my body, how much do you think you'll be taking out (in terms of pounds)? How much will you be using for the fat transfer?
Will I need drainage tubes?
How many incisions and where will they be located?
Will the fat transfer smooth out the "cellulite" look that I've got going on with my butt?
What type of garment will I be wearing (I'm doing smart lipo on lower/upper abdomen, flanks and waist, then having the fat transferred to my butt).
Would you recommend I take a stool softener? (I remember being very constipated after my breast reduction).
Are massages included in the price? If not, what type of massage is recommended and how often should I go/when do I start them?
What (if any) are the additional costs that I should expect?
Does drinking alcohol affect the results?
How long before I can play sports?
How long will the results of each procedure last?
I also plan on taking in some "wish list" type pics so that he can see what my perfect end result looks like...and can let me know whether it's realistic or not. I also want to take some pics of what I DONT want as far as shape, so he has something to work with between my "wish" list and my "don't wish" list (couldn't think of a better name for it!)

Hi there, welcome and thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Congrats on setting your date! Good luck with your procedure, I hope everything goes well for you. Please do come back and let us know how you're progressing!
Awesome, I look forward to seeing the before/after pics!
I'm sure everything will go great for you.
Just to add to your lst of questions, you may want to ask what type of services they have for aftercare. E.G. if you need to speak to them about anything after the procedure, or you have any concerns/complications, will someone be available all of the time. If not, is there an out of hours number, etc.
