Excellent. Have been coming her for years for botox and fillers. I just had two rounds of Ultherapy and am extremely pleased with the results. I enjoyed my visit with Dr. T. He told me I was not yet ready for a facelift and encouraged me to do the Ultherapy instead. Very happy that he was honest and didn't recommend the more expensive, invasive procedure. 5 stars for Dr T, his awesome daughter Leslie, and the rest of his staff. Really enjoy seeing them!

Well I've never been big chested to begin with but they always have fit my body now forward yearssssss ahead and now married with two children and with the rewards of motherhood also come the downsides my body was left marked stretched and pretty much left for dead lol ok maybe not that bad. But let's say my confidence was none existent self esteem left the building years ago. So finally talked with my husband and obviously (such a guy) he said whatever would make me happy and if I really was serious to go for it! It was all surreal calling and scheduling consultations finally found one paid in full again I'm just going with the motion doing all this yet having no idea what I'm doing! Days leading up to my procedure were nerve wrecking as I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks yeah I WAS HAVING FULL BLOWN EPISODES I really wanted to back out maybe this was a mistake what if something happens to me all because my vanity got the best of me? NO! I had to stop seeing it that way I had to see if for what is was ... unhappiness I was not happy with who I saw in the mirror I had lost myself I am 33yrs old what's so wrong with wanting to feel sexy and to look it too? So it's DONE! I chose 400CCs and PS decided on 415CCs day if I am 4days post op and yeah it's been a struggle with two children I feel less involved around the house and because of the weather they ended up sick now and my PS specifically said to stay away from sick people because I am more open to getting sick get an infection and it can be bad so now my kids are sick and I feel terrible not being able to hug them and have them near me but I'm trying to stay positive this is temporary right now I may be a little sad but I will heal and I'll be back to normal mommy who smothers then with kisses and love and I'll be a better person because I will no longer secretly envy women on my daily outings I will be more confident and definitely more happy.

So I know it's still early in this but I notice my right is coming down from the swelling more than the left and I don't know if I like how smaller the right looks lol im probably just being impatient because I know they need to drop and fluff before they get the actual size but it is a little noticeable that the right is bigger than the left lol -_-

Updated on 16 Mar 2017:
Well my left is still so much more swollen than my right one and I'm still getting needle like pokes in the left one which isint a excruciating pain but it is uncomfortable and just like alerting OWWW

Updated on 19 Mar 2017:
I'm on day 9 and being my sisters bday I'm wearing a top I've worn before of course with my post surgery bra and I don't know if I'm liking the size anymore. On my consultation I said I wanted a full D so I don't want obnoxious boobs but I do want noticeable one and now that the swelling is subsiding I don't know if I went too small just looks like I use to with a padded bra and if I still have more swelling to lose will they only get smaller from here? If you had 400,415 what was your final size?

Updated on 22 Mar 2017:
12 days today and finally the left of the bandages fell off and from what I can see the incisions look normal and ok to me they still look kinda swollen but a little more like boobs and are getting some bounce to them still hating this tight surgical bra tho

Updated on 23 Mar 2017:
Feels like time is going fast seems like just two weeks ago I was scared nervous and wondering if I would back out from this and now here I am 2 weeks later I do see a lot of swelling gone and I'm hoping they settle good and not go smaller

Updated on 25 Mar 2017:
I'm getting a little worried I feel as if my left is maybe going more slanted I don't want to have a googly eye look still wearing my surgical bra 24/7

Updated on 30 Mar 2017:
So far so good minor pains and aches or pulling feelings have gone away I hope my right comes along because my left seems more natural boob looking than my right

Updated on 6 Apr 2017:
Today I am one month exactly 28 days.I'm 5 days in my set of 25 massages. I feel like they do not look as swollen anymore and I am more comfortable with a tank top on without the frankenboob look I still hope they have more to settle because to me I feel like they do have that sitting on top look still but so far so good since my last checkup 5 days ago I was cleared to wear any bra I want which I'm sticking to stretchy sports bra I went from a 36 flat C to a 38DD so the bra I get is almost resembling the post op bra minus the strap around them which was painful for me lol only thing I still have going on is my right breast is somewhat numb which both on here and my PS said it's normal and should go back to normal. So far I'm happy with my results and can't wait to see more of the changes.

So I'm two months from my 415CC BA so far it's been good no pains and been able to sleep on my side no problem just minor little pinches here and there and I've been going to the gym to get in shape. My only thing is I feel maybe they are too small that how I saw on sizers and I'm pretty sure most of the swelling went down and I really wish I went with a 500CC they seem big when I push them together and to me look average naked

Updated on 9 Jun 2017:
So I've been having issues w my left seems to be firmer and slightly bigger than my right so hopefully it'll settle w the right soon
First pic is preop I've been working out bf developed an infection in my cleavage so that's what those bumps are I'm taking an anti fungal cream preop I was a small C now I'm measuring at 38DD

Updated on 8 Jul 2017:
4 months today downside to them is i got an infection in my cleavage from sweat I've been going to the gym and sauna so I had to take medicated cream and powder but I'm scared my discoloration skin won't go away.
Aside from this no pains just minor pokes when I sleep a certain way sometimes I feel as if 415CCs is too small then sometimes they look huge so it's a love hate at the moment last picture is them pushed together I feel that's the only way they look big being pushed in

Wish I was giving more information on lipo and fat transfer sales rep was awful gave me wrong quotes but i still went through because had request days off already and paid deposit. I'm not happy with result lipo looks like nothing was taken out and not aware it was only one area I told doctor my expection he made me feel and agree we were on same page I was going look fanastic and my but transfer doesn't even look that great sad I had to pull 401 k loan to be dispointed and I address issues with doctor he really just said I took a lot ok fat out and put it in your butt offer no solution when I believe the amount I paid we should of work out some post care solution

I had liposuction with Dr T twice due to bad result from first one . With second procedure , I was very unhappy because my left side was uneven since he suctioned more fat and left me with whole on my buttock . I tried to make an appointment with him but every time I called his secretary said he was not available and I finally gave up ! Now that I am older and gained a bit weight, is very noticeable . I am looking for a dedicated plastic surgeon to fix it now if I am lucky !

Picking the right surgeon for the job- I am 32 y/o female 5'4 167lbs no children
I have a butt, but I want an ASS (you ladies know what I am talking about). I am a 37 in the waist and 39" in the butt. I have been looking around playing with the idea for a a few years and finally,, finally, finally I have my first consult with Dr. Memar Feb. 4th 2017. The receptionist was nice over the phone, she answered my questions and even gave me the quote. She let me know about 2 consults: 1 is the initial with my meet and greet, expectations, etc. etc and the second is for my deposit, labwork, garment fitting, and scheduling my surgery. I looked into Dr. Tinsley in Orland Park, Dr Shifrin on Lake Shore, and even Dr curves in Georgia (the problem with GA is I do not have the time or true finances to travel that far and miss work). Dr. Memar office has finance companies he works with, but I am paying out of pocket and bringing my butt back home-I have nurse friends that is excited to see the process and help me recover (for free). I will keep everyone updated on the process and I will do the before and after pics, I may possibly do a youtube page (that's debatable because people on youtube are so harsh and do not understand your reasoning for surgery and getting a buttlift) if I could upload videos here I will, but if not photos with commentary will suffice. If you have any questions inbox me and I will try my best to give an honest opinion and a truthful answer. I AM NOT SPONOSERED SO ALL OF MY WORDS ARE FROM MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES AND MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES ALONE.

His helper was an [RS bleep] and very rude.
He spent most of the time lecturing, he's kind of cocky. I will not go to him AT ALL

Even at my lowest weight my belly was still there. Gained 20 lbs when I had a kid. It been losing and gaining the same 20 lbs since I had a kid. After a long discussion with hubby we agreed to get lipo done. We are not having any more kids and I want to look HOT. I want to feel good about myself. I am active, I run 10ks all the time. I do weights with hubby.

Okay the boss man approved my time off. (Friday, Monday, Tuesday)

Some people on this page are scaring the [RS bleep] out of me saying I need to take weeks off. Im only getting vasor. I sit at a desk all day. I'm still new at this job I don't have a lot of vacation time.
I can handle pain, I had my kid with no meds, I had my gallbladder removed I was okay afterwards.
I got this!!


Updated on 3 Feb 2017:
So what to do before hand, pick out a day of outfit: button down shirt & baggy pants the day of. Ugh I feel like I should be doing something? Prepping?

So glad I have a very supportive Hubby!!! I sent him this today.

Updated on 10 Feb 2017:
I have really high expectations. Only because I have a very short torso and I know once this belly is smaller aka gone it will make a HUGE difference in my small frame. I'm so short the smallest weight gain or lose shows a lot on me.

Updated on 17 Feb 2017:
I'm so glad I recorded the conversation with my nurse. Cause I had to replay everything she said. And write it all down.

I have to do this colon cleanse a week before. (I got pills for that) I have to follow this strict ass zero carb diet afterwards for 6-8 weeks.

It will be worth it, I'm so damn excited I couldn't even sleep last night.

Updated on 22 Feb 2017:
I still can't believe this is happening! It's like a dream come true. Why did I wait so long for this?? Oh wait I didn't have the $. Hahahha

All my rx have been filled, my bag is packed.

Meds: antibiotics, pain killers, Valium
Comfy pants
Button down shirt
Zipper hoodies
Warm fuzzy socks
Book to read
Portable battery charger (for my phone)
Deodorant (cause I can't put it on before hand and I'm paranoid of being stinky)
Lotion
Chapstick
Phone
Wireless Headphones

I hope I'm not missing anything

Maybe I'm a type A person but I needed to make a timeline checklist to make sure I don't forget anything to do or forget anything to bring.

Everything happened so fast the whole surgery. Trying so sleep was a pain in the butt. So I end up sleeping in the recliner. No drains so i had gauze dripping in blood. Had to use a tarp to the bathroom. Sleep on top of 2 towels.

Updated on 25 Feb 2017:
My lipo pkg that I have includes 6 aftercare ultrasounds these ultrasounds will help break away any pockets of liquid, remove any hard parts. The nurses used very warm wash clothes to warm up the skin then used the gel with the ultrasound wand. It was getting a warm massage. There was slight pressure pain but okay.
She gave me an extra binder with bone (aka hard plastic strips) in it, (think like an corset).

I finally saw my stomach at the nurses and I'm so pleased. Cause I know it will look better after the swelling is down. I peeked at my records they took 2800cc = 2.5 liters
1000cc = 2.2 lbs: so if you do the math almost 6.6lbs

Also did my 1mile walk per dr as part of my after care. The pain is totally manageable. It's not that bad. Sleeping on my back is hard but I know it will be WORTH IT!

Just wanted to post before pics before posting after pics.

These were taken the next day at my follow up appt. Where the did an ultrasound with QRS treatments.

I have a desk job and sitting all day with this compression garment is difficult. It becomes uncomfortable and I need to stand and walk. Wearing a jacket over my clothes so people can't see my ripples from the compression garment. Wearing a fitted sweater dress today.

Updated on 2 Mar 2017:
So I wear a compression top with my binder over it and a sweater over that. I'm glad I did this over the winter time. So no one can see the bulges of my compression garment. The binder is making it hard to button my size 8 petite pants but that's okay. I'm getting sharp pains very randomly all over my stomach & hips. I think it's b/c of the sitting I do at work. So my consultant said I can take Tylenol. My other rx pain meds make me sooo drowsy. I cannot take that at work.

Updated on 4 Mar 2017:
Starting to get sharp random pains, they feel like contractions. Dr confirmed it's muscle spasms and he says it's normal. I can't stand the binder garment I got from the dr. So I went to Kohls. I got a waist trimmer. I got and XL and a L, I can squeeze into a L. With my short torso these cover my hips too!

Updated on 5 Mar 2017:
So it's been a week and now I have to up my walking to 3 miles a days.
I used to be a runner so this is frustrating for me. What took me a little over an hr I used to do a 10K (6.2 miles) in that time now all I can do is 3 miles.

Updated on 11 Mar 2017:
I'm feeling a lot better. Bending over is sometimes painful. I was getting random sharp pains they felt like contractions. Dr said they are muscle spasms and they are normal. They are going away. Drinking about 100oz of lemon water a day. Which helps with swelling and the walking an hr a day.

Updated on 15 Mar 2017:
Wearing a size large waist trainer now when at work then I wear the XL when I sleep. The garment I was sent home it getting stretched out and not comfy anymore. I wear that one when I'm on the treadmill.

Updated on 19 Mar 2017:
Mobility is almost 100% back. Bending over is doable. Twisting at the waist I still do very slowly. I want to attempt running again but I little scared. I hope this upper abs swelling goes down. TMI: I noticed that "down there" is extra puffy: like all the fluid rested there. I'm a little concerned I feel like it looks like the same (upper abs)

Updated on 21 Mar 2017:
Sometimes you need to do a side by side to make yourself feel better. Yeah I'm massaging the hard lumps twice a day. Side note: my size 8 work pants feel sooo LOOSE!!????

Updated on 28 Mar 2017:
5 weeks later I can still grab this belly.

Updated on 1 Apr 2017:
Went to massage envy and got a 30 mins ABS massage for the scar tissue and 30 mins on my back. Felt amazing!

Updated on 13 Apr 2017:
7 weeks later and I finally ran yesterday during lunch which is my norm. I still can't do it with our wearing some type of compression garment. The jiggling of the belly still hurts and feels like it's detaches. ????

Updated on 14 Apr 2017:
I came in for the 7 week check up. Dr said my incisions healed great but said I was still too puffy. Then he asked how much I lost. Right before surgery I was 162.0 and thenI was 167 right after the surgery (fluids) I'm down to 157.5 now. And he got so mad. He told me to get on the scale, he was not happy. He said I should be down 20lbs by now. (Really?!? 20lbs in 7 weeks?!) I was not told he had this expectation of me. Then he said he wants me on a detox diet asap. And then he walked out. I just stood there in shock. I got dressed and this nurse told me to do this detox and Dr wants me come back in a week. Dr wants me to lose 5lbs by next week. So this Detox Program includes five 8oz shakes a day. Lots of veggies. They even gave me a MIC shot to help with my metabolism. Also got some pills I have to take to help curb my hunger. The bedside manner was very rude. I felt so rushed. I didn't have a chance to ask any questions. I got home 1st and as soon as I saw my hubby I just lost it and cried all night. Every Dr that I've had in mg life has been so mean/nasty to me about my weight. I felt like a disappointment to him, to me and to my hubby who paid for the Lipo. Cost of 1week detox with MIC shot: $124.00

Updated on 20 Apr 2017:
It's been 6 days and I've been on point with this "detox". I have lost 3.5 so far. I see the dr tonight. I hope he is nicer to me. I hope he notices I really did do this detox. No I didn't lose the 5lbs he wanted me too.

Updated on 21 Apr 2017:
This whole thing is so [RS bleep] ass backwards to me. They push lipo on me then they are like you should lose more weight after the procedure??? Why ?? Prolly cause I don't look good enough for your "after photos"yet. When I remember my husband asking "shouldn't she lose more weight before the procedure." They said why, all of it was in my belly basically. I think back and oh man I drank the "koolaide". I should have done more research on this dr. 1 WEEK AFTER DETOX: Spoke most of the appt with the nurse. She said she did this shake replacements for 6 weeks and lost 30 lbs for her wedding. (I don't think she ate any food at all). They want me on this too for 6 weeks! Which I'm pretty sure I can do. Barley saw Dr. T, he just said good job that I lost 3.5 lbs. I refused the MIC shot which is basically a high dosage of B-12 for energy cause they know lowering your calorie count this low will make you weak. And that shot is $35.00. I don't know if it really works or not. Today I opt for 2 boxes of the shake. (Before they only gave me the pkgs) Now that I know where the shake comes from I can order it online. Thank you Amazon. I love the shakes, I don't get those dreaded protein farts, I don't feel bloated and they actually taste good. I like to make it as a pudding. I have it 4 times a day then eat a sensible dinner: protein, sweet potatoes, and veggies. And I'm full. It makes it simple in the morning to grab 4 packages and off to work. I take it at 7:00am, 10:00am, 1:00pm and 4;00pm. Dinner at 6:00pm. And I pound lots of lemon water.

Updated on 28 Apr 2017:
I have to wear high waisted compression shorts so that it doesn't hurt when the belly jiggles when running. But I'm slowly getting back to running.
