  • Posted to BA - Going from Small 34A to 34B/C - Beverly Hills, CA on 30 Dec 2010

    Thanks for posting your experience. I'm interested in a BA with this PS too. Do you mind sharing the impant size? Did Dr. G help you select the impant? Has the pain improved? It might be too early to tell, but do they feel "real" or weird? Sorry for all the questions...you're day after photos look really nice, he did a good job, congrats!

    Wow, amazing and congratulations! I had a question about your scars. At 3 mo the 2 on your abdomen are fairly apparent, and then at 16 mo they are completely gone...perhaps it was the lovely tan...Anyway, did you do anything to help them fade or did it just resolve itself with time? Thanks
  • Posted to 3 Months Post Smartlipo (Abs, Flanks, Inner Thighs) with Pics on 27 Aug 2009

    Great post, and absolutely on point about results and about posters. I had my flanks / outer thighs done in March, and maybe "lost" 3-5lbs overall and maybe went down 2 sizes max (more likely due to better eating habits than the procedure)...also nowhere near other claims. BUT I feel fantastic with my new shape and those sections that were so resistant to diet/exercise. I didn't tell anyone about my smart lipo since I had it on a Fri and went back to work the following Mon, but people I knew have noticed something different. I regret not taking before pictures and posting 3mo post op, 6mo post op pics because it is important to be truthful about what to expect in terms of weight loss, size reduction, which are minimal and SCARS, which are such a pain to get rid of. I'm thinking about doing my abs / inner thighs next year, and if I do, I'll definately post with the aforementioned in mind. Thanks again for your post! Great idea :)
  • Posted to Post Op Blues After BA - is This Related to Anesthesia? on 12 Aug 2009

    congrats on being postop. sorry i can't help with answering your question since i've never had a BA, but i wanted to ask you: did it really cost $60K?

    definately. As I remember, the third and fourth weeks were my worst (felt so swollen / bigger than the first week postop) and to top it off I had to travel for work. The flying added to the swelling. I couldn't find endermologists readily in the cities I was flying into, so I did book some total body and swedish massages while on my trips. Just remember to drink lots of water, wear your compression garments (I alternated with spanx as well) and make friends with your Arnica Montana pills and Arnica cream. You might ask your masseur / masseuse to use arnica cream during your treatments.
