Smart Lipo Post Babies - Atlanta, GA

ORIGINAL POST

I have my consultation scheduled tomorrow morning....

WORTH IT$6,773

I have my consultation scheduled tomorrow morning. I did more research than I'll admit to in order to find just the right surgeon with the right experience at the best price. And I think I did! I'm pretty sure I want five areas done, lower abdomen, flanks, inner and outer thigh and banana roll (roll on upper leg right under butt). I'll see if the doctor thinks what I want is five different areas. I'm 5'2 130 lbs after having two babies really close together. They're 16 months apart! My pre baby number one weight was 110 lbs whereas my pre baby number 2 weight was 123 lbs. I'm running now and losing weight at a pretty steady pace so I'm hoping to be close to my pre baby number 2 weight by my procedure date which will hopefully be April 3rd. Even with the working out and losing weight I have pockets of fat in places I never did before and they are super resilient to boot. I'm curious to see how much skin tightening occurs, especially on my stomach, with the smart lipo laser. I'll be posting pictures through out my process. I can't say how much reviews and especially pictures helped me finally decide to have this procedure. So in order to return the favor my plan is to pay it forward so to speak and post my own reviews, pictures, and findings. I'm super excited about the whole process and can't wait to get started!

My consultation went well. I am having more areas done then I thought I need for instance I went in thinking I wanted my lower abd and possible my upper but according the the doc I need upper, lower and waistline which means I'm paying more than I originally thought I would too. He'll do my hips with all that April 5! My inner and outer thighs will be a different procedure a week later. He told me he wanted to really be able to focus on smaller areas so he can take his time to be very particular and so I get numb everywhere and can have a good experience. I really liked Dr. Okoro and am so happy I decided to go with an actual plastic surgeon. There are many doctors in the area that use different advertising techniques to get people in the door but when it comes right down to it, it isn't the machine that will give you the results you want its the person you have chosen to man that machine. In my opinion only a plastic surgeon should be doing any kind of body contouring. So all in all I feel confident and excited about my procedure day! I'll post more after!!!

I'm almost a week post op abd/hips now and I'm still really swollen and sore. The soreness is mostly like a sore muscle pain but every now and then its a stabbing sharp pain when I turn or bend the wrong way. I do have two kids under the age of two though so the pain isn't by any means incapacitating! My hips are the most sore and are still very numb whereas my abdomen is only sort of numb now. I'm posting pictures of before and updated after. I really need/want to see skin tightening and possibly stretch mark improvement so I've added an up close shot to compare to my after. My next procedure is Monday the 16th on my inner/outer thighs. Not really looking forward to the recovery now that I know what's involved but I am looking forward to the results! My experience during the procedure was good what I can remember of it. I was given two percocet, and two xanax before the procedure and I don't remember much after that! I'll update in another couple weeks.

Your doctor did a great job!!

Thanks! I have some questions about some bumps here and there but I know its early. One or two places I know I'm the only person who really notices the asymmetry but again that's probably swelling! He took great care of me and guarantees his work all the way to 3 years post so I'm not concerned about the possibility of being unhappy with my results at all!

Do you have scarring from this? Are you doing your normal activity? I've thought about having this done!

Well I'm only a week post op now so I have seven little incisions that have all healed up and seem like they'll disappear entirely. I had stretch marks on my hips that you can barely see now and like I said I'm early in the healing process so I'm optimistic! If you do decide to have some work done absolutely go see a plastic surgeon who's been trained in laser lipo. Do your research and you'll love your results! I do so far!
