The first few are befores and afters that I feel look like me, and the results she got is what I'm wanting for myself. The rest are pictures of me. I am 142 lbs and 5'3. My surgeon says he will remove the fat from my lower back and sides and abdominals. And he only wants to do 500cc each cheek. Do you think these first two results are attainable for me (on 500cc each cheek)?? If not, how much do you think I need? Help! I've got such anxiety over all of this. Thank you!
