Liposuction: Stories

My experience was good. My recovery was not painful. I was sore like I usually get when I have stopped going to the gym for a long period of time and then return. I had no down time. There were somethings I was not happy about but being a novice I did not know to ask.

For example I have no idea how much fat was removed and the doctor only requested to see me once, one week after the procedure. Also I did not know that he charges extra if your not happy with the procedure and feel a touch up is needed.

As for my results I don't have a six pack but I no longer have the tire around my waist caused by menopause and I can wear my clothes without a bludge in the front so I am glad I had the procedure. Doctor was friendly enough. But, after all I have read after the fact if I had to do it over again or decide to go for a touchup, I would go to a certified plastic surgeon.

I have a least 8 different incisions that I believe will be small permanent scars but this could be due to my skin color. Not sure if some many incisions were necessary. I had two large incisions from previous surgeries that he did a good job of smoothing out. I think he was too focused on removing the fat from these two incisions. This was a dermatogolgy surgery and laser center in Manhattan. The doctor did list himself as a MD. Hope this is helpful to anyone thinking of having the procedure.
