$3,900Smart Lipo

nic0309

Want to Love my Thighs!!

Wow. Can't believe I'm a little over a week away. I've been on this site for ages and it's great. I consulted with my plastic surgeon who I've gone to for Botox, filler and IPL. I wanted to do my inner knees. That alone was $5200. He wanted to use general anesthesia and use a surgery center. I absolutely did not want to be knocked out and from everything I've read this could be an in office procedure. Once I was talking to him I asked about my inner thighs as well. Price went up to $7200. The whole thing wasn't feeling right. I don't have a lot of fat to remove BTW. This plastic surgeon as well another I used to see were very anti smart lipo. Called it gimmicky and a marketing "thing". I went to see another doctor that performs smart lipo in office. I immediately liked him and his assistant. The whole energy was different. Cost to do both inner knees and inner thighs was $3900. OMG. I couldn't believe I was making the appointment. But it felt right. Fingers crossed my intuition is spot on! I posed the question on RS and the responses confirmed my feeling the smart lipo was the way to go. Less bruising/ swelling and minimal down time. Updated on 24 Mar 2017: Well. We're here. Can't really believe. Excited and nervous. Going to take pictures in the morning. Wish me luck! Updated on 27 Mar 2017: Quite an adventure. Dr. Satchi and Rachel were amazing. Very relaxed and caring. Since I was having my inner knees and thighs done I had to lay in a frog position. That was probably the hardest part of the whole procedure. From beginning to end was about 4 hours. Honestly, there was next to no pain except my lower back and legs from staying in the same position. I felt a tiny bit of pain a few times and Dr. Satchi stopped and added more anesthesia. Very sore right after procedure, just moved very slowly. Not as much drainage as I was expecting. Slept from early evening to the next day. Stayed in bed most of the next day, napping, etc. But felt less sore. Woke up Monday morning, what a difference a day makes! I'm walking like I did a really hard workout. Still sore, but at work! Haven't really checked out the results. I don't want to have any unnecessary anxiety right now :) BUT, i did put a pair of SMALL leggings on in place of the compression suit and they went on pretty smoothly!! And, if memory serves, I couldn't really even get them on last time I checked!
