Hi! I want to thank you for your in depth recount. You answered so many of my questions!....Like what do you wear during the surgery! I also live in the Dallas Metroplex and have been looking into lipo for about a year and a half now. Last year I even got quotes from about 4 or 5 plastic surgeons. Anyway, I am thinking about going to see a couple more to get updated quotes bec mine were for traditional lipo and ranged between $3500-6500 for my flanks and stomach. So I am 26 and about 5'6 and 128-132 pounds and I was wondering if you could tell me how they broke down the cost to you? Was it by body area, time, amount? And what made you decide to pick him?

Hi! First, let me say that you look SO great! And I hope that you are feeling well now. I have been reading through this site like a crazy woman the past few days and I really like your posts and appreciate your answers and honesty. I also live in the Dallas area, am also 26 and am also in good shape. I weigh about 128-132 depending on when you catch me. Anyway, I have been researching lipo for about over a year now and last October I saw about 4 or 5 plastic surgeons concerning the same areas that you had done but using traditional lipo. My quotes ranged from about $3500-$6500. But I didn't go through with it because of nerves and money. But now I am ready to give it another go and go see a few more doctors. Can you tell me (1) How you felt about seeing your Dr. and why you chose him? Did you meet with him on your consultation or just an office staff member? (2) How did you feel about the $8000 dollar cost? Did you think it was high? How was the price broken down? By hour, by area, by surgeon fees (I hope that's not to rude to ask)? Did you get a 2nd opinion? (3) Was it weird not seeing a female plastic surgeon? I only ask bec I am kinda shy. (4) Was the operation done in a hospital? How long did it take? (5) How much did they take out of you?..1 pound,2? In your before pictures you look tiny already! Ok, so I know that was a lot but I really hope that you can help. I am so excited you are in the same area!
