Why give up gaining a more flattering figure after a certain age? Was liposuction hard on me? I keep up with Pilates, control my diet and looked forward to getting rid of the areas that would not come off with diet and exercise. I'd tried Cool Sculpting and found it not accomplishing what I needed or expected.
The areas that had liposuction were: inner thighs, knees, upper arms, under arms, and buttock flanks. The results are fantastic! I now fit in slender jeans and don't have the knees bulging out on the inside of the leg. The boxy look of the buttock due to a pocket of fat on each side of the buttock being removed gives a sleeker look. The upper arms is a collection point for gaining fat even at a young age. A word of wisdom...if you are collecting fat in your upper arm (the under arm area that will wiggle as you lift your arm to wave), it will only get saggier and worse as you age. Lose the body weight before you hit menopause when the fat sticks like cement and is even harder to lose. The arm change was 1" in the beginning but still changing. The skin is slowly pulling back up and toning the arms with exercise helps tremendously after the liposuction. Fat was removed near the underarm by the breast to fit better in my sports bra instead of spilling over the bra cup.
It's been awesome to fit into the slender jeans, have smooth hips and no knees that bulge out to meet each other between my legs. Dr. Wortham sculpted my legs, knees, buttocks and arms beautifully. I can wear hemlines above the knee, sleeveless tops, and well fitted pants and jeans. The compression garments were for the upper and lower body which I wore for 10 weeks. You can wear them under loose clothing if you're going out. I pulled on the leotards for Pilates about 6 weeks after the procedure and am loving the 'new look'.
Dr. Donald Wortham is attentive to your needs, confers with your doctor if necessary for the best outcome for you, is highly skilled in his profession, and he has a professional and courteous staff. He has followup visits that keep a close watch on your progress. Everyone in his office supports your goals, encouraging you every step of the way. Their responsiveness to emails, phone calls and wait time in the office is consistent at being timely.
Dr. Wortham is also an excellent botox and filler injector. I've used Botox for years, but recently started using 1 syringe of filler for both my upper cheeks, under the eyes and WOW! was I happy with the look! He was fast, did not cause bruising and he hand manipulated the filler to be smooth and where he wanted it to have the most impact. I've been seeing him for a few years now and he genuinely cares about his patients and their goals. If you have any concerns, he's very good at communicating and doing all that is possible to meet your needs. I highly recommend him for your cosmetic surgery!
