Lipo Lipo Here I Come! - Leawood, KS

Yes, I have had my consultation with me ps. He has performed this procedure several times and I have met others that have had the same procedure. One thing to keep in mind is that I'm only getting TOUCH UPS on my upper body as those areas have already been done. The fat is leaving my body. I have a nice curvy shape I just want the fat removed. Thanks for asking.

Have you ever had any type of cosmetic surgery or thinking of having any?

I guess i missed that. The way its written, it looked like you were getting lipo on your thighs, knees, inner calves, saddle bags, buttocks, and touch ups on your flanks, arms, pubic mons, and bra fat, including your abdomen. I guess thats really about 10 areas, and i know that the doctors say that the more areas you have lipo at once, the more sore you're be. From what I've seen in photos, the nice curves are the fat, and when the fat is removed, the body isn't so curvy anymore. Ive seen people really bruised from liposuction, it just sounded like you would be bruised all over, and then where would you have fat left on your body? But you sound like you're very confident in your decision, so that must be very exciting. Would you be willing to post photos and the amount that your doctor plans on taking so we can follow your transformation. I'm not having surgery before then, and maybe there are other people besides me who would like to see how recovery goes when up to 10 areas are operated on at once. Congrats on the weight loss, by the way, you look great. from the photo you put up, your curves look great already. Thanks.

Yes. I am studying everything i can about it. I don't love the idea of surgery, I've been really big into fitness and healthy diet, but my body got messed up with weight changes, i was pregnant when i was young... i want to understand the risks and the after affects of liposuction and tummy tuck. Mostly liposuction. The more i read, the more i realize that doctors disagree with each other on so many things. Like, many doctors recommend just a few areas be done at once, but then theres a doctor like yours who will do five new areas and a bunch of touch up areas at the same. I thought that touch up areas are even more difficult because of the scar tissue that has already formed. I just feel that, as women, we need to be confident in what we know about out bodies, and I'm trying to gather information and learn because i know once its done, its done, and you can't change your mind!

Hi chacha, I can understand your concerns regarding your surgery. Your right each doctor has different views and opinions. It's just like buying an american made car vs a foreign car. When it comes to surgery you have to be confident and tell your doctor your expectations. When I met my ps I knew he was the right fit. He was highly recommended to me by my primary care dr. I did research on him and the 2 others that she recommended. My ps did tell me that I would be sore but it would be a piece of cake compared to my 1st procedure. I didn't have but a few bruises from lipo on my 1st procedure. My ps knows that I still want my curves but the fat rolls gone. I will post pictures after my procedure. Eating healthy and working out is how I lost weight 76.5lbs and still counting. Never had any type of weight loss surgery. We all know that diet and exercise can only do so much. Some areas are stubborn and that's where cosmetic surgery comes into play. I hope you find the right surgeon. I would advise finding a few ps and having a face to face consultation with the ps and his/her patients that have had the procedure done that your interested in. That's how you will find the right fit. Real Self is good for support, looking at results etc. but it can drive you crazy and confuse you if your just searching for answers or trying to find the perfect ps. A perfect ps does not exist. Everyone has something to complain about.

I was down for a total of 5 weeks but that's including my tt with mr and lipo to other areas. All in all I would say about a week for recovery should be good enough.
