I am a 20 year old female from Seattle Washington. I got liposuction on my flanks (love handles), my full abdomen (top and bottom), arms and neck. So for starters, about a year ago I was 150 pounds and about 5'6. I worked out regularly and was eating a healthy diet. Over the past year, I've gained almost 50 pounds. My body has completely changed. I switched jobs, causing tremendous sleep loss and eradicating fitness all together. So I looked for a quick way to lose my weight and bought Lipo.
So the problem I see with the place I went to was that they don't really care about the patients. The doctor didn't ask me many questions and was not personable. He wasn't mean or unfriendly, I just felt like he didn't really care either. I had looked him up and saw he had good reviews though so I was very confident all would be good.
Another problem I had with the facility doing my surgery was they hardly tell you anything, unless you ask. Prior to this, I had a surgery done and the doctor was clear and told me everything to be cautious of. This place, did not. I went in for a consultation, they examined me briefly and I paid in cash. Very bad customer service.
Now for the actual liposuction, I can see a difference. I wish the doctor had asked me better questions about my physique and what I wanted. He did a good job although I was expecting something more impressive. It is only 5 days after surgery so we Will see how I feel after I'm "fully healed". I have a feeling it will not change much since I did not bruise much and hardly had pain.

After 7 months post liposuction, I can say I see a small difference in most areas. My lower back looks the best- very dramatic difference. However, the chin, arms, abbs, and flanks look subtle.
To have a safe procedure, a doctor is not supposed to take more than 4-5 liters of fat out of the body.
I believe this is why I saw subtle results- because I had so many areas done.
If you have multiple areas you want done it recommend doing it in multiple surgeries so the doctor can take out more fat at a time.
As of April 3rd, 2018 dr.P will be removing more fat out of my full abdominals for free, I will be paying for a lipo of my mons and bra roll as well as a fat transfer to my ass and hips.
