34 Year Old Looking to Lose Double Chin

Procedure scheduled for 4/21/17! I chose Dr. Connors given his very high level of education and training, his great focus on me during consultative appointments (gave me all of the information I needed and spent plenty of time discussing my goals with me), and the before and after results of his past patients that have done similar procedures. I also appreciate that he uses a Board Certified Anesthesiologist who I was able to discuss my concerns about anesthesia for the procedure with directly. Finally everyone I have interacted with in the office has been fantastic!

Had my flanks, abdominals and chin liposuction, including abdominal etching, procedure this morning! Got there at 6:30 am and everyone - nurses, doctors, physician assistants were wonderful! Met with the nurse to take vitals, the anesthesiologist, Dr. Drake, to review my medical history one final time and then Dr. Connors, the plastic surgeon, to be marked up for the procedure and discuss desired results and areas of focus. From there I was given a anti-anxiety medication and once that sunk in was led into the operating room. I got on the table which feels like a really nice bed and then I don't remember anything until I was in my car (not driving of course!) on the way home as I was intubated under general anesthesia. I left his office around noon so a little over five hours for the whole procedure with 2.5 hours under the general anesthesia.

Tonight I am just resting, watching TV, taking walks around my home to keep the blood flowing and hitting the Gatorade intensely. Pain is tolerable with medication at this point but the areas of abdominal etching is super super sore as expected.

I woke up in a really nice body and chin wrap which I have to keep on for a week so I haven't seen any results yet but I was informed it was a very successful procedure.

I will update this following my post-op visit on 4/28.

My head wrap got loose while sleeping so I had to take it off this morning to readjust and I got a sneak peek of my chin one day post-op and I am already seeing a big change!
