WORTH IT
Hi Real selfers,
5 months ago I had some successful cosmetic surgery ( Vaser lipo to thighs)- Fast forward to now and after much research,consideration & consultation, I plan to also go ahead with a tummy tuck ( date tbc).My chosen PS is Mrs. Kat, who also carried out my thigh lipo. The method to be used is a drainless ' lock & glue ' abdominoplasty with tightening of the muscles also. I'm really excited at the prospect of getting my mid section aesthetically improved & not having the discomfort of muffin top any more due to lax skin & fat. I've posted pics so that you can see what I mean.
Watch this space folks...

She's amazing! I'm going to be having vaser Lipo on thighs and knee area with her. Would you say it was worth it? I can't shift it when training even with a bodybuilding PT and meal plan. Also how was the downtime? Xx

Hi ya, yes it was worth it for me- my legs are never gonna be skinny but they are less bulky & the stubborn saddlebags are gone! I'm still the same size in trousers, but the contours of my legs are better- if you click on my profile,I've written another review about my vaser lipo experience with lots of pics so you can see what you think- I booked 12 days off work but I would have been fine after 8 days to return- my job is relatively active. I went back to the gym ( and did upper body only) after 5 days but then I was able to get back to things comfortably & properly after a couple of weeks. I have gained approx 6 pounds recently - I think I have relaxed my diet a bit because of forthcoming TT, which is crazy - but a girls Gotta live a little sometimes! I'm reigning it in again now though- The weight I gained has not gone to the areas I had lipo, more my boobs , arms & belly ! Thanks for the info on your recovery & it sounds like you're doing really well Xx

Forgot to add- even at my lowest adult weight I ever got to which was 120 pounds ( I'm 5 ft 3,medium frame & carry quite a bit of muscle ) I still had the fatty deposits on legs! & I would have looked ill if I'd lost any more weight - I worked out regular ate sensibly even did crossfit for a bit too!

My legs are the same. I have quite a bit of muscle but the fat really can cling on. Hope I get good results! :) xx

Hi, for my TT my surgeon has indicated 3-4 weeks off from work- I have booked off 5 weeks ( just in case!) guess it depends on how you heal & how physical your job is! ...my job is moderately active . I know from reading reviews on here that some people don't feel ready to go back to work for longer than 4 weeks & when they do they perform ' light duties' as body is still healing - they get tired & suffer swelling that's uncomfortable. I would book some consultations with good Surgeons and see what they recommend for you- Good luck! X

Hi there , I haven't had the fat transfer yet- I have a small area that needs filling but it's not dimpled or marked, just slightly irregular compared to the other leg! X
