“Lipo (Belly, Arms, Inner Thighs, Love Handles) Not Painful - Mexico”
Lipoat25
Worth It
Spent: $2,300 in Mexico
Spent: $2,300 in Mexico
Im 25 yrs old, Im 5'3" and about 130 lbs. for a short person like me I can't afford to gain 5 pounds cuz it is very noticeble. So about a year ago I was 110 pounds very slim, did not even have a belly. Now Im about 130 pounds n my belly, love handles, inner thighs, and arms show very fat, cuz Im such a short person.
I went to Mexico had it done. Today is my 4th day, and my belly looks like a raisin, looks nasty, since I have few stretch marks on my lower abs. But the Dr. says it's normal, within 2 months, my belly will be flat. So we just have to wait and see, the pain during the surgery was normal, yes a little painful, but nothing much,the pain after the surgery is painful too, but nothing really bad, it feels like a real bad bruise. I think the pain is not that bad since the results will be worth the pain I feel now....
This picture is from my 3rd day after the surgery.

Yes I can, his name is {edited}, if u need this phone number, and address, I can give u that too. He used local anesthesia, I was awake the whole time. Yesterday I was there for a check up, he said everything is going well. The incision are completely healed, just have to wait for the scars to go away. It's only been 10 days as of today, and my belly has shrunk. The pain is completely gone by now, I still have a few bruises on my lower back. I am back to normal, I can actually work out now, except for sit ups, not yet, he said, to wait a month for that type of work out. I noticed when I bend over, my skin does not hang like it used to, now it's looking tighter so far. I am very happy with my results, and it's been 10 days barely, I can just imagine when I show final results, I am gonna post a pic here.
