I agree with you Tigger and thanks for sharing your story with us. I am sure a lot of people will think different after reading the truh behind lipos.
When I came across this website I was looking for reviews, but I was certantly not expecting to read such an eye opening stories.
I personally believe we should ask ourselves what are the real motifs behind our need to become more and more pecfect. If one of those motifs have to do with something like poor selfsteem, need of attention , lack of love etc. I think we should deviate our focus from the body and instead try to deal with the REAL issues that keep us apart from really accepting and loving ourselves the way we really are.
I am just so tired of punishing myself in so many different ways for not being the woman I think I should and want so bad to win over this self pressure.
It's also good to know i am not alone with these feelings.
Pitsy I wish I had the right words to tell you... Eventhough I did not have the lipo done I kind of understand your frustration a little since after my pregnancy my body changed a lot even being at the same pre pregnancy weight, and ofcourse because of my mom's experience. Like you said we are victims of the false hollywood beauty standars. It seems like you believe in God, I do too, and you know what I constantly ask him? To please let me win over the pressure media and consecuently men puts over women looks. Its very sad for me to see myself and other plp depressed and mad because we feel so far away from such an irrealistic beauty concept. More and more teens are becoming anorexic n worse ending their lives due to the same pressure. Join my prayer and lets be happy with who we are and accept the way we look without thinking much of the mistakes from the past. I know very heavy women that feel so good about themselves, so confident that I envy them for that.we have to put out there the best of ourselves, by accepting ourselves with our flaws and start paying more attention on becoming more and more beautiful within us. It might not be easy to free ourselves from the wrong idea of beauty but once we do I am sure it will be so worth it! :)
Thank You so much for sharing your story Pitsy and i am sorry you had to go trough something like that. Its terrible!
My mom had her lipo done more than 4 years ago. She used to have a proportioned curve body, she was not slim but she had nice curves and great legs. She decided to have a full body lipo and breast lift. The day she came from the hospital she was in a lot of pain which it was normal for the type of procedure she got done. We went back to the clinic ( which it was supposed to be one of the best clinics in the city and the doctor was supposed to be one of the best and most reliable ones) to finish up her breast precedure. I hear my mom screaming like never before, she fainted multiple times and she bled a lot. she was in excrutiating pain. They didn't use anesthesia on her for some reason. Few weeks after her lipo the doctor killed himself. The police had a lot of charges against him after he killed different women with the lipo. Again, he was a licensed surgeont, condiser to be one of the best in the city and yet a murder ( this happened in one of the most popular and trusted places for lipos) my mom's breast are full of scar. She gained so much weight you can never imagine she had a lipo or anything. her legs is what scares me the most. She has such a big upper body, huge stomach, big arms... and skinny legs!!!! she still have the waist though, that's the only good thing she have left after such a horrible experience. Before the surgery she used to gain the weight everywhere on her body , but now it seems to be everywhere except her legs. My mom got into a very bad depression after she realized what she did to her body, she is not the same person anymore. The worst thing is that after seeing what happened to my mom i still think sometimes about getting the lipo done, and when i think about the reasons why, all it comes to my mind is because i want to be closer to the false image of beauty and perfection the media sells. Almost all my counsins had it done and most of them are unhappy with the results. maybe i just need to realize that beauty can be less traumatic for the body and accept myself the way i am.

I don't know... that's again my humble opinion.
