Love His Work ~ Had Lipo on Thighs and Flanks

Dr Mele is an excellent surgeon with 24 yrs experience and very grounded and friendly. I am absolutely thrilled with his work and highly recommend him. I had decided to have lipo after gaining considerable weight during covid. Despite my working out 5 days a week and switching to a plant based diet once the local economy opened, it was frustrating to see that I wasn't getting any traction or changes in my body despite the hard work. I'm guessing it has to do with being in my 50's and lower metabolism? I researched several surgeons & met with Dr. Mele and booked my procedure that was a months ahead. I was nervous to be under general anesthesia but it all worked out fine and once I got through the first three days which was the most difficult (felt like a bus hit me), and every day thereafter got better and better. The picture enclosed is just two weeks after the procedure & I'm pretty much back to my daily routine without the heavy duty exercise for another few weeks, preferring to be low key and just walk a few miles daily. I am so very pleased with my final result and I have read that the final actual outcome still will be a month or two away so if it looks this good two weeks post op, I can't imagine what a month or two will be like? (if no changes, I would be completely happy). You will be in good hands with Dr. Mele and his very efficient, friendly staff.
