Not Worth It
Spent: $11,000 in New York City, New York

Hello,

Before I had liposuction done I read a few of these posts and it really helped me...So I thought now that I have done it, twice, I should write one if it helps anyone else...

Liposuction does and does not change you. Yes, I feel more confident, and wear things that I did not wear before...But you should really know that it is not magic, and when you look down at your body that youve lived in your whole life, it is still going to be your body and look the same...

Meaning the character of your body is still there...Which is a good thing I guess...I just think I got so carried away with this big idea how I will be after, and how different I am going to look...And the truth is, it is not super drastic, and most likely no one will even notice a change...

So I would look at it as a personal thing, something for yourself...And I must say, yes, personally I feel better and am very glad I did it....You just have to know it wont solve everything...

Hope this helps...best of luck...

Oh and if any ones cares ( because I didnt when I read these posts )
I had the following areas liposuctioned :
-Inner / outer thighs
-"Bannana roll" - which is the area right under your butt cheeks
-Under chin
-Arms

One more thing, I had it done twice on all areas, I think you should expect the same, nothing is perfect the first time, and a good doctor will do it again no charge.....

And p.s - It is sooo much easier to recover the second time.....

I had smart lipo on the abdomen, flanks and under the chin 3 days ago under general anesthia. The physician I used was a plastic surgeon and would not consider doing any type of lipo under local. I am still very sore today and wearing a chin strap and compression garment. My areas were not big at all, so I am curious as to what I will see when I remove the garment on Tuesday. So far, definately more than I expected, but no pain, no gain. Will let you know more on Tuesday!

Thanks, this is a great review as I am considering lipo but have been thinking a lot about not wanting to lose everything about my shape. I don“t want a new body, just a better version of my own.
