For All of You Liposuction Horror Story Readers Like Me!
WORTH IT
I had liposuction with Dr. Daniel Farrugia in Chicago and I went into it honestly terrified. I had read every horror story online about medical emergencies, disfigurement and everything in between and walked into the office feeling like I was having a full-on internal anxiety attack.
The staff immediately tried to put me at ease. Everyone was incredibly friendly, understanding about my anxiety, and never made me feel rushed or dismissed. They even let me add on my chin last minute in addition to my abdomen, which was amazing.
The procedure itself was… weird, but completely painless. When they injected the numbing fluid, it felt like a waterbed or rippling water under the skin—hard to describe, but not painful at all. The suction part was also totally painless. There wasn’t a single moment where I felt pain, which surprised me the most. It was actually kind of fascinating watching the tube next to me as everything was being removed.
Right after the procedure was done, I stood up with no problem, no pain, got into the compression suit, and took a medical uber back to my hotel.
That night was the first time I felt anything—a burning sensation. I took the pain meds (they prescribed some strong ones) and that completely knocked me out through the first two days. By day 3, I could feel it, but it wasn’t painful or burning and I was up and walking around just fine. I even flew to Europe on day 4 for work with no issues—just a strange “feeling,” not even really discomfort. It’s hard to explain.
The only lingering thing was some numbness in random areas of my abdomen which fully went away after about a month and a half.
Overall, the entire experience was way easier than I expected, especially considering how anxious I was going into it. The burning sensation the first two days wasn’t anything extreme but if you take the meds, you can just sleep right through it. 10/10 recommend this doctor!!! I’m including a picture of my chin the day of surgery and two months after surgery. Unfortunately I don’t have any befores of my abdomen.
