30F Arm Lipo
Finally I can show my arms! Just be realistic. You can still have loose SKIN afterwards as with any lipo. Please see my before and after, the difference is subtle to others, but for me, the reduction of thickness in the upper arm has made me feel much more confident and feminine.

Dr. Sam Assassa is very professional and caring. He really cares and wants what’s best for you. I’ve been coming here for years and he gives his honest opinion on what looks best on you. He makes you feel comortable and always I’m always happy with the results.
Liposuction Proof is in the pics!!!!
Dr Assassa is so AMAZING! I could cry you guys like yoooooo he took great care of me and my body looks AMAZING! He gives you his personal cell phone because if you're like me you're a worry ward lol I had so many questions after the procedure and he had so much patience! I'm so happy it has been 3 weeks by the way and I am military so I am back to hitting weights, push ups, sit ups all of it! He takes great care of you and I really mean it. I was so scared you guys like....

Best Lipo Doctor Ever!
I had Lipo done in San Diego, 3 hour drive! I had my upper and lower abdomen, hips, love handles and flanks. So thrilled with my results. Way better than I expected. Dr. Assassa took sooooo much time with during my procedure. About 4 hours. Called me the next day from his cell so I had his number if I needed it. Couldn't be happier. I was so scared. Don't be...he's great! I'm about a month out from my procedure date and my body's still changing. Going in next week for another
After working at it hard through diet and exercise I realized I would buy be able to get rid of the love handles or the excess belly fat that I'd accumulated. So after much thought, I decided to go for it. Smart lipo of the flanks and full abdomen (but only one are at a time). Yesterday I had my flanks done. It was a relatively painless experience. The wrap I have to wear is tight and hurts my hips a bit. I did loosen it just about a 1/2 so it's still snug as all, but not painful.
Im choosing to get this for a boost in my journey of weight loss. Im 23 yrs old 5'7 Ive always been about 130 lbs after my daughter i have been bouncing from 150-167. Im very excited but extremely nervous of it not looking natural after! I plan to upload pics and journal my journey on here as often as possible! I just started dieting and working out to help me along. Im hoping to be healed and bikini ready by June 8th! i know its cutting it close. Alot of girls on here

43yr Old when I Got my Procedure Now 45yrs Old Mother of 2 Grandma of 2
Not a smart thing to do for me because I wasn’t aware of what the outcome would be doctor did not tell me either. I’m very sad and with no money to fix it. Doctor did the procedure again but it came out the same ugly disgusting fat hanging stomach ??????????????doctor said he would change me 800 dls to remove my fat fupa but I had no more money. I feel that if the doctor does not tell you how you could look later he should at least not charge you to correct any of the problems
I've been considering getting lipo for a while- after being told I'm overweight by military standards for years- so I did my research and I'm finally taking the plunge. Training trips over the years for work haven't been kind to me- no time to exercise and eat right. I went from maintaining a reasonably healthy (but still overweight for my height) 180 lbs. 4 1/2 years ago to 220 at my highest- 4 years ago after the completion of an extensive and stressful 7 month long school.

After several consultations and reviews on docs. I found Dr.Assassa was well trained in many aspects and techniques whether aesthetics or lipo. He teaches procedures to others and has knowledge of different techniques from all over the world. In addition the pricing was very reasonable. Updated on 17 Feb 2017: Today is day 2. Theres still soreness and tenderness but tolerable. It's hard to move around, Bending is the worse but the difference from yesterday to today is great.
