This liposuction journey started 34 years ago ,...
WORTH IT$3,999
This liposuction journey started 34 years ago , when I was in a car accident( broke my neck and lost the front of my right thigh from burns ). So finally the technology has gotten to the point that reconstruction can be done to help the appearance of my leg.So,where does lipo fit in ? I decided if the PS thought it was a good idea I would take the plunge and get lipo on my abdomen ,hips and thighs along with the reconstruction.He said yes we could do it but he needed to do the first part of the revision before the lipo.So in October we did that and I was to have the lipo done in Feb. but I was involved in a hit and run,broke my fingers in 4 places and had to have pins put in So now the lipo will be done April 14th. If the girl that hit me only new the trouble it has caused me! I am so excited! I am especially excited because I am now single and Zi am doing this just for me! I will let everyone know how everything goes when I get closer to the time. I do so appreciate this site and everyone that has posted. I hope in April I can also help others to decide. Oh by the way my PS in Baton Rouge,La. Is Wonderful!!!!

8 Weeks Until Me Time!
Well I thought I would post the scariest part of all this... The before pictures.. Yikes,It takes guts at 54 trust me! But 8 weeks from right now I will hopefully be on my way to better looking tummy,hips and thighs. I have also asked about lipo on my arms bug I am not sure that at 54 it is a good idea because of the skin may or may not form back to the muscle. I do not want to have another long scar because as you can see I have long scares on my tummy going both ways from previous surgery's for gastric ulcer disease. Anyway, like everyone else even at my old age I love coming to this site and reading how everyone is feeling and looking. It helps me stay positive!!!!

I think one of the reasons I have so much hardness is because of a large appendix scar. Since I am about your age I can say it does appear that I will have some loose skin but not as much as I thought. I do think between the lymphatic messages and starting to swim it does appear that the hardness is lessening just a little. I am hopeful. I agree it is not about bikinis it is about looking sleeker and better in my clothes. Good luck with your surgery.

Hi Cakebythepound! I had someone mention that as we get older we might not respond well to lipo. I thought--what the heck! It should be made for us-the ones who battle hormones, baby bodies and ailments from active lives!! I've seen some ladies in their 60s who have had it done and they look great! Keep me posted-I'm excited for you! I'm working on facial stuff right now. Nothing much just yet. Better skincare. A friend did the Lasorlift and vampire facial. I'm waiting to see her results. Lasorlift was on dr oz by Dr Bassin. Not sure about it just yet! Ok-hope all goes well for you:)

I had rhino, eyelid, and a breast reduction with him and he did a bad job on all 3. My advice is go somewhere else. I went back and he does not care at all afterwards. My friend is a surgical nurse and recommends dr cox in the same practice.

Oh Dear Regret65,I am so sorry you had that experience with Dr. Dean! He has already done one surgery on my leg that the entire thigh was burned 30 years ago and he did an AMAZING JOB!!! I am going back on the 14th for him to complete it plus have the lipo. I have had 5 surges in the past year due to various illnesses and truly he is one of my favorite surgeons. I am so so sorry that you had a bad time!!!

I'm glad you had a good experience with him. I was told he's better on the body than the face, but I am not gonna give him another chance with me. Good luck! I hope all goes well

How exciting, you are getting closer! My big advice is to go ahead and cut your sodium intake and increase you water intake now. It has definitely helped me in my recovery! Are you prepared? Garments, first aid stuff, healing aids?

Hi everyone yes I am getting so very excited. I feel like everyone else that I read this site now much more than anything I used to read online!! I have looked at so many boobs,hips and tummies I think I could be an artist. I have already ordered my garment to wear while the one they give me is in the wash. I t turns out that I would have had to have worn a "thigh girdle"with just the surgery on my thigh so why not make the rest of me skinny also:)I will post pictures as soon as I can stand without falling over!
