I have been wanting this surgery since 2008. I have always had problem areas and body shape issues. I lose and gain weight every other year of seems. I finally lost it all the weight in 2008. However I got too skinny. I then looked into butt injections and lipo on my belly and arms. But after realizing how expensive it was It become a hope rather than an actuality. I finally made a decision after many years of going back and forth of researching and etc. I decided to go to Dr. Friedlander for lipo of my abdomen, flanks, back and arms. Long story short after paying a total of 9600 including 2400 of interest fees I ended up with a lumpy belly, painful areas on my abdomen, dark scars from the liposuction cannula and uneven arms. I still have a big belly, back and arms. What a waste of money and time. I wish I would have found Dr. Miami before this year. I am scheduled for a bbl and arm lipo. I would be lieing if I said I'm not scared and nervous but that's to be expected especially after the ordeal I been through. I love reading these reviews. I hate being a before and can't wait to finally be a after!!! I gained 55lbs after my surgery due to depression. I got out of my slump and started working out. I have lost 26lbs this year and 40lbs total since last year. I just paid off my final payment last month. I wish I could get all that money back. What a freaking waste!!!! Almost 10k I just can't believe I spent that much on horrible results. And the only reason I ended going to him was because dr curves didn't keep my consultation date after waiting a year and half. I was so pissed I ended up going elsewhere. Big mistake. Anyway two years later, I made my appointment with Dr Miami for next year(first available date). I paid my 1k deposit a couple of weeks ago to lock in my date. My consultation is in a few weeks! Can't wait! I go to his ig and watch his snaps daily! I can't wait to be the one on the table. Approximately 44 weeks and counting....I'm 5'8 and I'm 198lbs! I want to lose 20 more pounds before my surgery. So I will need to continue to lose approx 2lbs a week(I'm on weight watchers and work out for an hour, 4 days a week). I want to get a rental for the week when I'm down in Miami. My sister is coming with me to take care of me. If there is a woman who will be going around that time, please let me know maybe we can split the cost of a place. I don't want to stay at a hotel but will if I have to. Anyway best of luck to those looking into having this surgery!!!! I am not comfortable posting pics because I'm tatted up. Can't wait to get them all removed! Another mistake(9 total). Gonna save up to get them removed to. One surgery at a time. I had Lasik last year(best decision I ever Made aside from booking with dr Miami) And will be getting Invisalign this summer. #selfimprovement #galore #soexcited

Hi there, so sorry to hear your past experience. Hope this time around will make you and feel bueatiful again. I'm thinking about doing arm Lipo too. But afraid it might gives me a sagging skin and armpit. Do you think it's worth the try?

Yes I'm worried about that too but I'm doing arm exercises daily to try to minimize the bulkiness. I have some marks and I can tell where he liposuctioned so I hate that(and my arms are now uneven). I will see what the dr recommends for me and I will update my review. I pray he can fix my arms. I feel like my arms are greatly disproportionate to the rest of my body. I lose weight but my arms remain the same it seems(so they look even bigger the more weight I lose) But I lost one inch so far. Thanks for your kind words and good luck to you. Btw I read that if you lose weight slowly your skin will snap back unlike when you lose weight too quick. I aim to lose two pounds a week and so far it's been going good.

I completely understand what you've said "more loose weights but arm get bigger" lol,, scare to hear uneven arm too. But I'm much more scare to have saggy batwings kinda arms due to my age and skin elastic issue. I may have to save up some more money to do arm tuck in the future. I'll follow your journey. Can't wait to hear your result on bbl and arm Lipo. And good luck to you as well. ;-)

Posted an arm pic to get an idea about the size of my arms. I see women who weigh at least 100lbs more than me with smaller arms. Ugh! I hate the size of arms. People always comment about my arms especially at work when I'm wearing scrubs. I usually just smile and walk away rather than getting upset or sad. No one knows the shame some women deal with about their bodies. I would never comment on anyone's faults or flaws. But I guess everyone doesn't think that way. My arms are bigger on top but I don't think they can remove fat from the top but I don't know. I will take more pics at a later time to show the scars and marks left from liposuction.

Your arm doesn't seem so bigger. Plus mine is kinda sagging already due to weight loss. Wait till you see mine. I'm planing on put some my journey with before pic as soon as I get time, hopefully soon.

Girl I wish my arms weren't that big but thanks though. My current arm measurement is 17 inch. Normal sized arms for average sized women; usually range from 9-11(usually under 10 inches). So my arms are beyond humongous compared to my peers. When I'm at work people always make comments even today some strange male nurse that I have never met before mind you, said verbatim your arms are so meaty. I was so shocked because it came out of nowhere in mid conversation. Like seriously can you but a filter! *shedsatear

Day 105 of 2015 and 302 days until my surgery. Down four more pounds in the past days been going hard for my Jamaica trip in two more weeks. Total 44lbs since 11/14 and 30 since 1/15!!! I want to be 15 pounds over my ideal weight of 140lbs for my 5'8 frame. So that means I have to lose 39 more pounds which is less than a pound a week until my surgery.
