I requested my records from WestHealth Surgery center where it was preformed. He didn't take before pictures. I'm 5'5" and weigh 155 lb now and day of surgery. Areas done muffin top, abdomen and outer thighs. Records report 850 ml of the Tumescent fluid was infused and 1050 removed. Given that what results should I realistically expect? His response, "The infused amount is irrelevant since this is absorbed. The total amount removed should yield great results in most cases." I don't believe him.

With awake liposuction, it is best that you take something for anxiety and pain prior to the procedure so you can better tolerate the numbing. Once the areas are numb, the procedure is much less painful, and you may find yourself sleeping.
The combo of tummy tuck and liposuction is allowing fluid to build up.A suction drain can be placed to remove the excess fluid an help heal the internal healing edges together.
