I have been thinking about lipo for awhile but was afraid to do it. Recently my cousin, who is a couple years younger that me, had Smart Lipo and is thrilled with her results! She shared the details of her journey with me and for her it was a piece of cake. I chose a different doctor than she did because of my medical background.

Scheduled with board certified plastic surgeon to have lipo of abs and flanks under general anesthesia. I only consulted with board certified plastic surgeons and they did not want to do it under local anesthesia. I was told that they want to concentrate on the procedure not your comfort level for the best results.

I am trim, fit and do both cardio and weight training faithfully and try to follow health eating habits but hate my "muffin top". I am both excited and nervous! Most of the posts are from younger women, I am 61 and hope to provide result information for older women, like myself, who stay in shape.

I had my pre-op appointment yesteday and asked a couple of final questions and my "before pictures" were taken. I had a CBC drawn (complete blood count), was given my prescriptions and all pre and post-op instructions. We discussed, again, exactly what areas would be done and what to expect.

I was initally very nervous but I feel comfortable with the doctor and all my many questions have been addressed. Next Monday is the big day and I will share my results, post-op journey, and my before and after pictures as time goes on.

Tomorrow is the "big day"! I have my prescriptions and everything ready to go. It seems like recovery varies so much for everyone, I decided to take a week off work. I am posting my before pictures.

Dr.Gupta took all the time needed to answer all the questions I have had at each visit. Never at any time did anyone pressure me in any way to schedule. He is board certified in both surgery and plastic surgery. On an average he performs this particular procedure 25-30 times a month. Everyone was very kind, friendly and reassuring yet professional. I was hesitent to rate Dr. Gupta so early after my procedure but the excellent results were already so obvious at my post-op check day 3. See my pics. My recovery has gone excellent so far and can't wait to see my results continue to improve with time as the swelling and bruising subside. I was quite sore day 1 and 2 post op but not in pain. Day 3 was a remarkable improvement and day 4 even better. I took a week off to allow my body to heal, remember this is surgery. The man is a genius, an artist and did way above and beyond what I ever expected!! I can not even find the scars from the procedure, they were covered with steri-strips which he removed yesterday at my 2 week visit. Everything is healing so perfect! MAJOR BONUS, I had an vertical keloid scar from my belly button into my pubic mound from about 12 years ago. The lower it was on my tummy the wider and more knarly it got. He released all the scar tissue underneath when he did my lipo and didn't tell me!! It looks amazing now and when I asked him about it his comment was "oh, I guess I didn't tell you. I released the scar tissue underneath so your scar would lay flat." I think he didn't want me to get my hopes up about how much difference it would make. What a wonderful surprise!! My husband and I are so blown away by how fantastic everything Dr. Gupta did for me looks!! A great big THANK YOU Dr. Gupta!!! You get 10 stars and yes it was more than worth it!!
