Dr. Nathan Newman was excellent with polished skill and compassionate bedside manner. I love the results of fat graft under my eyes. It has probably been 3 years, and it still looks great. People used to ask if I was tired because of my sunken undereyes, well..nobody is asking that anymore. I also enjoyed the side benefit of fat liposuction from my abs. Money well spent.
It's been a year since I had a baby and I gained few pounds during pregnancy that I just can't loose. No matter what I did trying Pilates, diet, corsets, nothing helped. I noticed my body changed a lot and even before a baby I never really had a small waist. After research and few friends who were happy with lipo results I scheduled a consultation with dr. Newman. I went to few other doctors but nobody made me feel like he did. We both decided on doing only flanks area cause that easy to heal and fasted recovery. Day of the surgery I don't remember much. I don't remember having pain or discomfort. I came in at 8 am and his stuff (amazing girls) took some pictures and gave me medication that made me feel sleepy and comfortable. Around 9am doctor started after making sure I was sleepy and whole process may be took like 4,5 hours. My husband picked me up and I went home and slept more. There was no pain after and I just had little drainage after which is normal. Today was a day post op and I already see a great results. I have a waist now and I am still swollen. Girls did some post op treatments helping me with swelling and I feel good. It was easy for me and I would do it again.will keep in touch with more photos and post ops Updated on 15 Nov 2016: Today is one week after surgery and I feel sore and swollen.I still wear compression garment 24/7 and take my arnica ( helps a lot with bruising) Updated on 22 Nov 2016: It's been 2 weeks since my liposuction and I feel much better now,no pain, just more swelling specially after I walk a lot or being active. I love the results and already see it wearing cloth. I am still in garment 24/7 and still taking arnica. Bruising almost gone. Updated on 27 Dec 2016: here is one month and half post op from my Lipo on flanks.I am very happy with results. I can see huge difference specially when i wear my old cloth and i also lost few pounds.I don't wear spanx anymore and my soreness is almost gone Updated on 10 Feb 2017: today is exactly 3 month after Liposuction and i want to show my results, I am so very happy how it came out. My waist look smaller and i dont have any muffin top anymore!
Dont believe your doctor when they say "nothing can go wrong." or "it's rare" i went to a doctor (high profile in beverly hills---writes articles for journals etc etc) he did juvaderm first--very little. i liked it so trusted him. i asked about the horizontal lines on my forehead--they weren't bad so iasked it doing them would efect my eyes or make my frown lines worse. he answered no--nothing to worry about. four days later my eye lids were fleshy--again he assured me --nothing was wrong. six days later i woke up and one eye had NO LID--i went to see him--he said it was all in my head--HEY I HAVE NO LID ON ONE EYE---he said the problem was my skin. it was too fleshy--he's a dermatologist--how come he didn't know this could happen? he said the answer was more botox in my frows because he thinks they are ugly---course i didn't have them BEFORE HE SHOT ME WITH BOTOX. he had this attitiude that i was to blame because i have extra skin--yes, it's called an eye lid. don't believe any doctors. they just want your money. i would say if you are only talking about a few lines it is NOT WORTH THE RISKS before i look really nice --guys fifteen years my juniior were asking me out---now i am in hiding til the BOTOX makes it way out. this is horrible BOTOX IS FROM HELL. Updated on 1 Apr 2011: Don't believe your doctor when they say "nothing can go wrong" or "it's rare." I had a few brow lines. Didn't inject anywhere close to eye. Droopy eye lid. Painful headaches. Yes it wore off. My eye lid has been a little droopy every since. If you are talking about a few lines. It's not worth the risk.
Number of syringes varies from patient to patient but in our office and experience, the majority of patients doing lip injections only need 1 syringe to achieve the results they are looking for. We keep their purchased syringe for them for touch ups up to two weeks after just in case they need a little more! It is best to talk to the doctor or nurse prior to any injections to know what you will need.
