Amazing doctor and his entire team. I go to him pretty much for everything. He is triple certified, experienced, great bedside manner. I would say if you need to do any procedure just go to him with out any hesitation.

Can I get this done without the Liposuction part, just drainages instead and let my body reabsorb the rest of the fat?
August 24, 2018
Doesn't work that way honey. Lol

You look so natural. I like you didn't have it over did it. How many pounds the doctor took out?

He took 1500cc. 1000 from the stomach and 250 from each side on the back

So it took me almost 2years to work up the courage and do it. If I knew it would be so easy I would do it much sooner. The procedure was not bad at all. I have done upper and lower abdomen and back with bra rolls. I went to the same surgeon who did my mini face lift 4years ago and I’m still so happy with it.
So anyway I took 2 pills of Valium and was dr. Rachel did the markings and I was taken into the op room. It took about 15minutes to get the numbing solution into me. Deb is an amazing nurse and I didn’t feel a thing. After that dr. Rachel started with procedure. They all make you feel very relaxed and comfortable.
I had no pain and the only time I feel some discomfort when it was the ribs area on the back. He quickly added more solution and that was it. All n all it too about 2 hours. I had 1000ml taken off my stomach and about 250 ml off each side of the back.
I’m 5’6 132lb active,not much far all around.
After the procedure Alicia and Deb got me all wrapped up and I went home. I still had no pain and wasn’t taking any pain medication.
After getting home I just ate a little veggie soup and went to bed. I did take 2extra strength Tylenol but not because of pain but rather to prevent it.
I slept til 8pm, and then got up to wash up. Getting up and laying down is the hardest part. Still no pain, just a lot of discomfort on the back. I walk around the room for about 15 minutes and then got to bed. Slept till 6:30am.
Today I will be taking the wrap off and showering. I will post pics later tonight.
