WORTH IT$16,000
Hi...I'll be 45 this fall.. I have always been a tiny girl..size 0-1 at most..until about 2 years ago.. I don't know if it's hormones or what, because I eat like a bunny rabbit, but I have gained 10 ugly pounds and most of it landed around my middle... I'll admit, I'm no big fan of "working out", however I am a very active person and I work hard landscaping in the yard etc.. I don't eat gluten, or sweets, or anything that isn't totally "clean" and I haven't for years. I don't get it...but I do know..i hate looking at myself in the mirror now. Bad enough becoming middle aged having to dye grey roots, and get botox a few times a year...now this? lol... So, I have decided to go down swinging. I'm completely terrified. So many questions. Will this hurt like the dickens while they are doing it? Will I be miserable after? Will the flight home 3 days later be torturous? Will the results be all I had hoped for? I chose Elite Bodysculpture in Beverly Hills, Ca. w/ Dr Aaron Rollins. I have seen him in the media quite a bit, and feel I can't go wrong with him. His office manager, Kara has been wonderful as far as scheduling and attempting to ease my mind. I will keep you all posted on how everything is going.. I really appreciate this community... I'm including some of the photos I sent to the Dr's office via email for a long distance consult with them. Let's hope it all goes well. Any info you all have would help me tremendously. Thanks

I can't say enough good things about everyone at the Beverly Hills office of Elite Bodysculpture... They are so friendly and fun. Dr Rollins is simply the BEST! He is funny and talkative...It was like being at happy hour with your crazy friends. Surgery was a breeze, and recovery has been easy also....not a single painkiller needed at all... Kara, the patient coordinator is a doll. The staff at Elite makes you feel like family rather than the cattle we all feel like at almost any physician's office these days. I urge you to call Kara for a consultation/estimate. She can do this via email and phone. Also..Dr Justin Yovino works in this Beverly Hills office and is an amazing surgeon and artist. He has wonderful reviews here on RS.

Thanks for sharing on RealSelf.  So how does it work since you haven't done an in-person consult?  Do you just show up for surgery and that is that, or do you have a last minute consult to talk about everything before surgery?  I think you look great already, looking forward to seeing how everything goes for you :)

My body does the same thing- I'm athletic and lean but I have a couple trouble spots that annoy me and won't go away.  Let us know how your experience is as far as having a consult right before surgery and if it feels rushed or if you feel super confident in everything, etc.  Can't wait to hear all about it!

I most likely could have traveled on the 3-4 day but I stayed in Phoenix until day 10. By then I would say I was 90%. Good luck.

@ community manager. i think my review should be in the smart lipo category rather than liposculpture, but i cannot find a way to change that...any way you could fix that for me? thanks

My immediately after surgery was a piece of cake. Very little pain, bruising or swelling. I slept for like 36 hours afterwards. Got up took a shower with no problems and my sister & I went shopping and to see relatives. In fact did not get to home til after 9 pm. After about 48 hrs drainage was all but over also. U will do fine and look fantastic.

Hi - you look so good I thought that was an "after" shot. Are you getting upper and lower or anything else? I wish you the best. The pain is totally tolerable. I was back at work the next day (working from home) and in the office the following day. I wasn't prepared for the clothes after with garment so just keep that in mind. Your doc is mine as well. He has an office here too. Very professional and staff was so nice. We chatted the whole time. He was very attentive to what I wanted. I'm sure you're very excited. Huge investment! I didn't expect the recovery to take so long since it was deemed "lunchtime lipo". Not complaining - just wasn't prepared for that. I wish you the best of luck and keep us updated!
