I waited a while to post about my doctor and his staff, just to be sure all was well until the end. I have nothing but good things to say about Dr.Newall and his entire staff. I am so glad I chose this doctor. it's funny because once I chose Dr.Newall, I never second guessed my decision like I notice some people do. If you read my posts, I looked onto several doctors in several major cities. I could have gone anywhere. If I had to do it all over again...I wouldn't change a thing as far as my doctor and his office is concerned.

LaLa you look totally AMAZING, I hot I get results like you.
Ok this darn phone. I ment hope to get results like you.
thank you!! I am happy with my results I'm now starting to work on these pesky dark scars.
Thank you!
Your legs look great!
thank you
I LOVED your post!! Very informative and HONEST!! Your results look AMAZING!! I'm scheduled for regular lipo on April 10. Getting my stomach/abs, flanks, inner & outer thighs. I'm scared yet ready. I have 2 kids, with the youngest being 15 months, she still is basically carried everywhere, I just hope I can tolerate that pain with holding her.
I'll be honest. I don't think you will be holding a baby. You really won't want anything touching any part of your body for a while and if you are getting work done on your hips you should want them to naturally contour on their own. That will be a problem of you are carrying a baby. I would really work on an alternative for your recovery time. You don't want anything interfering with your recovery process.
Hey Lala, how are the scar treatments going for you?
I have not been as consistent as I should be but I am back on the wagon. LOL I will give an update towards the end of April.
Oh what kind of board did you use?
Board?

I'm not liking these scars

ONE MAJOR thing that I am not happy about is the scaring. I never really had any scars on my body and after the surgery I didn't think they looked so bad. But now they are dark and seem to be EVERYWHERE. Most people say they fade away over time like all other scars but I just hate that they are there. I guess I knew that going in right?! So anyway...I purchased the SkinMedica scar removal kit from my Doctor and I sure hope it produces fast results. It set me back about $300 but the way I feel about these scars, I would have paid anything for something that will get rid of them. I just want them gone. This kit is supposed to be used twice a day with a AM and PM regimen. I'll keep you all posted on the progress. Again, I want to see BIG results by end of April.

Hi there,

Just wondering which part of your body you had done? Was your surgery lengthy?

Still on the positive side of things

These pics are from 5 weeks post op. I really like the way I look and I think my progress is as best as can be expected. I am still in pain in certain areas, mainly my inner thighs, hips, lower back, and the back of my arms. My abs are not really sore anymore but still very numb. I will say that everyday does seem to get better. The massages help a lot. I am now at the point where I can get regular massages and I find that sports massages (stretching techniques) help the most. They also help with the pain I feel in my hips and lower back.
My doctor has cleared me to start working out whenever I feel like it and I AM READY. I am so ready to tone these muscles and create the final look for this new body. I hope to have MY final results by the end of April because that's when I want to be swimsuit/beach ready. I will keep y'all updated on my workout progress.
I'm watching what I eat. No dieting or anything crazy, just small changes like adding more vegetables to my diet. I honestly want to create something that I will be able to work with and not give up on. Overall I feel good and I love the way I look. One thing to note. Because my breast size and my butt size did not change, my actually clothing size has not changed. I tried on a smaller top and they would not button with my D cups however I do look like I need to get my tops taken in at the waist. My legs will fit smaller jeans but since I did not get anything done to my outer thighs and butt, I still wear the same jeans…they just fit a whole lot differently. Meaning they look better and I love that I can wear a crop top if I want.
