30 Years Old, Liposuction of Abdomen with Yager NYC

ORIGINAL POST

So I've had initial consultations with Yager,...

So I've had initial consultations with Yager, Schulman, and a few others. In the end I've decided to go with Yager. It was difficult choosing between him and Schulman. In fact in my initial consultation with Yager, I found him rushed and not as warm as Schulman. However, his photos and his office just made me feel like he's the right person for the job.

My pre-op is scheduled for April 9th, I'm pretty nervous but so far I feel confident in my decision with my doctor. I'm still unsure if I'm going to do the FG in addition to the liposuction, which was my main reason for coming in. I will be posting more info and pics soon, wish me luck!

Good luck on your procedure. I have consults with both Yager and Schulman as well. Were their costs about the same?

Schulman was more expensive, and to be honest his lipo photos didn't look as good at Yager's…which is my main focus. I've actually opted out of the BBL because I wasn't feeling too comfortable and strongly about it. Thanks!

good luck with you procedures!! dr Yager, in my opinion is 1 of the best PS in NYC when it comes to sculpting…the only reason I didn't choose him was because he was way out of my price range for a tt and lipo. Iam definitely going to follow your bbl journey to see what he can do in the bootay dept.

Thank you! I've actually opted out of the BBL and am only doing the lipo. But best wishes for your bootay, babe!

What type of LIPO? Tumescent

Yes, tumescent. Heard too many bad things about smart lipo

Before pics!

As promised, here are cringe-worthy before pics! I eat pretty healthy and am pretty active but I always have this crazy bloated belly. I do think it's genetic, my father, sister and brother all have a similar shape. I am SUPER nervous and underneath that very excited for this change.

I'm having the normal doubts and concerns I guess. This is serious surgery and you are causing major trauma to your BODY and removing parts of it! I feel that time is on my side because I'm still relatively young and I feel confident my body can bounce back. I'm going to keep pouring through the reviews on here though. It's really nice to hear the variety of experiences.

As far as my doctor goes, Yager seems very professional and skilled. His staff has been up and down, however. The patient coordinator, Lisa seems to have alot on her plate…and she has been pretty bad about returning my calls, following up, etc. This does make me pretty uncomfortable, but I'm going to give her the benefit of a doubt for now. My surgery is scheduled for April 29th, so I'm about two weeks out and did I mention SO NERVOUS!

BTW, I'm taking arnica and bromelain. My surgery papers recommended VIT C, so I'm going to grab some of that tomorrow. Any other recommendations?

Also can anyone recommend a lymphatic massage therapist in the NYC or Brooklyn area?

Hope everything goes great with your surgery! I want to go to Yager instead of Schulman for the same reasons, the price and I liked Yager's results better, what made you opt out of getting the bbl?

It was really an afterthought for me, personally. I realized I was just doing it because it was a cheap add on and I didn't really know much about it. Honestly I'm concerned with that fat turning into cellulite over time and it just doesn't seem like there's as much long term info about that procedure in particular. I didn't want to do something I didn't feel that strongly about to begin with to regret it later on. I'm hoping with the liposuction, my proportions look better and therefore make my butt look better in relation, ha!
