Good day/night to all. I’ve been contemplating lipo for my chest and flanks for a while now (well over 5 years) but I was always too scared to do it. Well in the past few months I finally grew some balls and started the process of consulting with BCPSs, I visited a total of 5 surgeons I even visited a dermatologist about the Zeltiq procedure. Well after a long debate between two surgeons I finally picked one and I HAD MY PROCEDURE DONE EARLIER THIS MORNING 12-15-10 @1045 EST. I had had UAL under MAC anesthesia and folks let me tell you the experience couldn’t have went any smoother the only bump in the road was the frigid temperature we’re experiencing down here sh*t when I woke up this morning it was about 47 degrees (I know you Northerners are probably thinking that’s swimming poll whether but for a Miamian thats freaking cold). As I said the procedure went well I’m still breathing and in very little pain so that’s pretty good for me for the first night. I had my procedure performed by Dr. S in Aventura and would recommend him to anyone considering cosmetic surgery strictly based off the professionalism and caring nature of him and his staff, I mean from guiding me through pre-op work that they needed, to minutes before I fell asleep (MAC), to the mothering I received from his staff post-op was incredible, the nurse Tammie was absolutely excellent bar none she is the most caring nurse I’ve interacted with. The surgery was performed in his accredited office and to those folks in Miami, FL who are considering a cosmetic procedure and would like that personal touch that a few of the surgeons I visited seem to lack I would definitely give Dr. S a call although his consultations are not free ($100 which is applied to cost of procedure if you book) it was well worth the hundred bucks. God Bless and I wish all the great folks here on RealSelf.com (Doctors and Patients alike) a Happy Holidays and Prosperous New Year. This website RealSelf.com really played a huge role in my conquest to get this procedure done. Thank You to all the site creators, the Doctors and the Patients who have contributed to make this site what it is a staple in the cosmetic procedure decision making process. PEACE & LOVE
