It's been a year since I had a baby and I gained few pounds during pregnancy that I just can't loose. No matter what I did trying Pilates, diet, corsets, nothing helped. I noticed my body changed a lot and even before a baby I never really had a small waist. After research and few friends who were happy with lipo results I scheduled a consultation with dr. Newman. I went to few other doctors but nobody made me feel like he did. We both decided on doing only flanks area cause that easy to heal and fasted recovery. Day of the surgery I don't remember much. I don't remember having pain or discomfort. I came in at 8 am and his stuff (amazing girls) took some pictures and gave me medication that made me feel sleepy and comfortable. Around 9am doctor started after making sure I was sleepy and whole process may be took like 4,5 hours. My husband picked me up and I went home and slept more. There was no pain after and I just had little drainage after which is normal. Today was a day post op and I already see a great results. I have a waist now and I am still swollen. Girls did some post op treatments helping me with swelling and I feel good. It was easy for me and I would do it again.will keep in touch with more photos and post ops

Did you measure your self....i going in on the 15th for just my flanks. Any advice would be welcomed. But already look great..how many liter of fat were taken out? Happy healing

thanks, i didn't do any measurements after because i am still swollen.
Doctor took out 2 liters all together ( 1 liter of fat ).
My advise to take Arnica for healing and wear compression garment non stop for few weeks. I only take it off when i shower, otherwise i wear it 24/7. Arnica cream or gel from Whole foods are great too. (helps with bruising and swelling) Good Luck!

It's been 2 weeks since my liposuction and I feel much better now,no pain, just more swelling specially after I walk a lot or being active. I love the results and already see it wearing cloth. I am still in garment 24/7 and still taking arnica.
Bruising almost gone.

Do you have numbness at all? Your results looks great. I had my back flanks and abs Lipo-Ed and its like the whole thing is numb, the strangest out of body experience
