I suppose i thought it was normal to be in so much...

I suppose i thought it was normal to be in so much pain after getting smart lipo. So i thought it was fine. However, after getting a BBL from a certified Dr. I came to realized that there is a BIG DIFFERENCE. Even when it comes to getting lipo sculpture you should get it done from a Dr. with Certified credentials. I'm recovering 100 times better from my BBL than the lipo sculpture i got on my stomach from Rod Davis. Don't make the same mistake as me, all for the sake of not wanting to spend so much money. These procedures are serious and one should only get it done by certified surgeons. Make sure to double check if they offer general anesthesia with certified anesthesiologists. The reason why it's so cheap at Pacific Lipo San Diego is because this person, Rod Davis conducting the smart lipo is not certified. Just look at his resume on his website. I got smart lipo on my upper and lower stomach. He injects anesthesia on your stomach but that does not at all prevent any pain. It was severely painful having to literally watch him inject this large needle in me and suck fat out. I knew what i was getting into because of the price of the procedure and i've learned my lesson again to never settle for anything cheap. You literally get what you pay for with Pacific Lipo and Rod Davis. The recovery was terrible I was numb for almost 6 months. My lower stomach's bulge of fat was removed but there was lumps all over my stomach. I thought that was normal but after getting this bbl done and seeing the results that Dr. Hughes gave me I now know that Rod davis is just not skilled at sculpting. He's just good at removing fat for a low cost. Other than that his staff is great. Super nice and helpful. I suppose that's what made me feel comfortable to get the procedure done. I met Rod Davis on the day of the procedure and I didn't like his vibe and energy but decided to go through it because i had my mind set on removing the excess fat that i couldn't get rid of from exercising. Don't rush, do research, and ask plenty of questions.

He was distant and sarcastic in a way that wasn't charming but arrogant. I decided to go through it because i had my mind set on removing the excess fat that i couldn't get rid of from exercising. Don't rush, do research, and ask plenty of questions.
