WORTH IT$10,500
I work out and run all of the time. I could not lose my baby bell. I also have huge thighs. Got to love genetics not! I had Smart Lipo Abdomen, flanks, inner and outer thighs and knees. I'm currently 4months out. If I were to do this over again, I would for sure do it. Went for a size 12 to a size 6. I do work out all of the time and watch what I eat. Once posted I will go through the stages from start to end as well as pictures. Once My place releases my pre pic I'll be able to show you better pre-op pics.

Pre-op Nov 2013
It is very important to pick the right doctor and one who has done it more than a few times. I'd work out multi times a week and I still had a baby bell. Plus good old genetics gave me huge lower legs. I'd run races, Id be small but I'd still have huge legs. It was important to me to do ALL of what I wanted at the same time. Therefore, I got Abs, Flanks from bra line to hips, He did sides of hips, inner & outer thighs, and inner knees. One I go back to doctor in April I hope to grab the pre-op pictures. Looking back I can not believe what I looked like compared to now.

Just been following your review. I wish I could see the before photos you posted in full view but I believe there is something wrong with the site today, it goes black? I notified RS manager. But anyway you look fabulous!!! That is so remarkable to go from a sz 12 to a 6!!!!! I only wish but I am 60, and when you hit menopause everything changes. I am a size 12, I would be very excited to be an 8!! I'm 5'6" I have lost my tiny waste 6 yrs. ago. I am going for tumescent Lipo Feb. 5 2015!! I'm excited but will be nervous because of my age. I'm healthy, I also have always exercised, never did a marathon though ha! I could of before I injured my disk. That was from jogging on pavement..5-6 days a week for 3 mi. a day. I belong to a fitness club, I do my aerobics in the pool, on land it would be trouble. I also do pilates, weights, treadmill is safe, but I don't run on it, I set it on incline to highest and walk it. I stay off the oliptical. I use to use that all the time until the injury. My Dr. also wanted me under General Annestisia. When they do 3 or more parts. I was a little apprehensive on that, because of my age, then all i could think about was the pain I was going to have!! So I will probably be under. He did mention saddleblock and I have had that, when I had my son. I won't know now until the day of surgery because it's up to the annestisioligist !!
I am 2 weeks away! I'm keeping myself realy busy going to gym 6 days a week!! Joining every class there is!!! :) I've got all sorts of projects lined up for being sort of out of commission for the gym for a while. That will be the hard part, being kind of locked in. I have only told one friend and my husband. I'm not even telling my children!!!! Ha!! I'm afraid they will lecture me. But I have or use to have your bone structure. Always had the bigger bone structure on the bottom. I use to be a pear now I'm an apple!!! I enjoyed your review, all the reviews help us prepare!!! Hugs to you, take care of you!!!!

I hope they fix it so you can see them. I have always yo-yo with my weight. I have always had large lower half. I workout 3 xs a week. It was hard to not workout but I'm glad I let myself heal b4 I started working out again. I'm so excited for you. The time will go bye fast. I was in my compression garment for a long while. I had deep tissue massages lined up. Do you have them scheduled yet or does your dr not do that? It helped greatly with the lumps. I haven't really told anyone about mine either. I didn't want the drama lol. Can't wait to see the pics. Best wishes 2 you :) keep me posted

I don't know if my Dr. Has the deep tissue massages for after, I didn't read about it. I know there will be follow ups of course. I'll call tomorrow and find out. If not there is a place nearby I can have it done. But it would be nice to have it included. I did order a hand held massager. Some women have been using thier "rolling pins" on this site to roll out those lumps:) so funny!! Hey I'll try it. Then of course the all say keep wearing your compression garmet!! I made sure my PS got me 2 of them and a binder ( like a corset after your done with the compression garmet, they swear by that..for their abs!! Of course you and myself have (or you had) to wear the garment that goes to the top of the waist to the knees!!! Wow that's gonna be uncomfortable!! I have quite the butt and it doesn't like to be squeezed like a sausage!! Lol. I will keep you posted

I'll get a corset this time. I did not the 1st time. I didn't need it but this time I would like to try it out. I do like wearing my compression garment during winter it keeps me warm lol

Day after & second day. WOW!!!
Day of surgery Friday I was nervous but very excited. My doctor was very sweet. I did have an Anthestiologist. I was advice at my doctor office to be put to sleep during. Now I wish I forgone it and just took meds. It would of saved me $1200. Surgery only took 3 hours. I went in knowing I was going to have Abs, flanks, inner & outer thighs. But came out with more done. Which was good for the price I paid. I woke up with a compression garment with side zippers. It went from bottom of breast to mid leg. Let me tell you sexy. I could not take a shower till day 3. Took pain meds that night. We put towels (soaked in water and drained) in freezer. Put trash bags over them and I would use them as ice pack. What a relive they would form right to my body. The areas that stung or was burning helped. Not an easy procedure. There is discomfort. I have a very high pain tolerance and on Saturday day 2 I cried. I only took pain meds for 2 days. Day 3 shower day. I was bruised, and looked like a mess. I went back to work on Tuesday. I'm on my feet all day. I did ok. I was still very tender. On my side of abdomen I had deep bruising and the good old zipper on the sides made it worse. I HIGHLY recommend deep tissue messages. My lumps went away fast. My doctor changed me over to a body compression garment with no zippers. Zipper = easy to get into. No zipper = lot harder to get into. lol
