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.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Can you post the name of the doctor who performed your lipo? What kind of anesetic did you have?

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.

Edited by Sharon: We've added your provider information to the review. Thanks!

The pain from lipo is not that bad, like some people say. Yes u feel pain of course, any surgery is painful, but I can say that the treated spots only feel like if I have a real bad bruise.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 106 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,  but nothing much,the pain after the surgery is painful too, but nothing really bad.This picture is from my 3rd day after the surgery.

Wow...you look great, especially only after 18 days. Can't imagine the final results...keep us posted. I might get mine in June....want to lose more weight to allow dr to determine if lipo or tummy tuck is more suitable.
Thanks! I am anxious to see the final results too!!! Yes u need to be thin, you need to be at "YOUR HAPPY WEIGHT" which means, the way u like your body,except for few areas u need to have removed. My problem was the love handles that made me look like a peanut or a square, lol!!! I didnt want tummy tuck cuz it leaves a scar from hipbone to hipbone, and I just didnt want that scar. I am thinking about gettin my stretch marks removed with FRAXEL LASER, most people say it works, just a few say it does not....
I had a set of twins 3 years ago, my belly looked like a road map- aweful. I have used the fraxel laser twice on my stomach and my results are amazing!!! I figure 2 more times and they should be darn near gone. I am also a certified laser technician in Canada. The fraxel is the older laser, the newer laser "ProFactional" and I have personally seen amazing results. For more info search you tube to see some videos. Im in love with Pro fractional results, not just for my belly but also for my face and melasma
Have notice any changes on the arms too?
You know honestly I have not seen much changes in the arms, they look the same to me, but I am hoping that it's just a matter of time, if within 2 months after the surgery I dont see any difference, I will ask the Dr. But I am giving it time to heal. The inner thighs I see a very small change, that I can barely tell, but again I am gonna give it time to heal up, since it has not even been a month yet.
I cant believe how good you look after 18 days! I am 4 weeks post abs/hips lipo and I am still "thick" around the waist! I see a change in 'shape' but I am still sore and no loss in inches. I am told this is because I am still swollen underneath and should shrink in the new 'shape' over time. I sure hope so. Did you or are you still having any swelling? Did you or do you still wear the garment?
U know as of today it has been 9 weeks since I got my surgery done, and yes I still wear my garment, the Dr. told me he wants to wear it all winter. To keep the skin tight. But he said mandatory at least 2 months.
Looks beautiful. Wish I had gone to a different doctor.
Wow U look great too!!!! i know youre happy!
