I’m officially 2 weeks away from my surgery date with Dr. Salemy in Seattle. This is my first plastic surgery of any kind. I’m more excited than anxious but still I think documenting might help settle any jitters.
My story is a common one after reading many helpful reviews and RS “diaries”. I am 5’2 and weigh 125 lbs (+/- 5 lbs), no kids but planning on it in the next 5 years? I have been relatively the same weight ever since I was a teenager. I am active/athletic and I eat pretty clean. My flanks and thighs have always bothered me though. No matter how much I worked out I could not get rid of my “hip dip” and inner thigh fat. I’m blessed and happy with most of my upper body but that wavy butt silhouette makes me self conscious in bathing suits, body con dresses, jeans and even workout gear.
After years of body complacency, I finally decided to treat my self esteem with plastic surgery. I went to 4 consultations total and knew by my 3rd one with Dr. S he was the best choice. In my consultation and preop appt he has been attentive, kind, patient, and made sure I’m realistic with my expectations. His before and after photos show he has sculpted a number of masterpieces which gives me great confidence in his ability to do the same to my body.
I’m nervous about the general anesthesia, scarring, recovery, and of course the final results. I should mention I have some cellulite on my thighs which also makes me worried about a smooth outcome.

How long was your surgery? That's the part that's scaring me.

About 3 hours. I had lipo on 4 areas and was put under general anesthesia. I was a little worried too going into it but I had a PHENOMENAL team that made me feel at ease and was super professional. I will do a detailed day of surgery update here pretty soon.
