Two months post and am very happy

WORTH IT$12,000
I measured today--exactly two months post op--and am pleased with the changes. My hips are 5 1/2 inches smaller, knees and calves 2 1/4 smaller and the ankle 1 inch smaller. You can see in the pics that I have cellulite and ugly thighs but I'm so happy I can wear pants 2 sizes smaller.

I've been working on my diet again and am down 13 pounds from the morning of surgery with the fat removed and diet. That makes a total of 58 pounds since May 2011. I credit the lipo for reshaping my legs and getting rid of stubborn fat. I am still numb on the back of my right calf and along the knee and outer left thigh. The incisions are pink/red and a few are raised scars so I've been using Mederma. I have no clothes that fit and couldn't be happier about it! I've tried on a few dresses but will wait a bit to buy. This winter though I'll be wearing boots.

Thank you! Yes I did get a pair of boots to wear with my jeans tucked in. So fun. I'll have my daughter take a few pics so I can update my review.. My legs still have numb areas and it seems the left leg ankle isn't as well shaped but I broke it several years ago and had surgery on it so that may be a factor. I plan to follow up with the doctor later this spring to see what she thinks. I'll get this pics out this week. Thanks again!

If you don't mind me asking, how much did the surgery cost for all areas? Thank you in advance!!

It was $12,000 for all of it. I see lower prices on some postings but think it was a fair price given the long process it is to sculpt ankles, calves, knees, etc. I appreciate she took her time.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience!!! Your 2 month post op pictures look great! Since your past the 6 month post op point, do you feel like you have lost more inches in the calf/ankle area?

My biggest surprises so far

User Avatar

The worst surprise so far is the weakness. I expected leg pain, selling, bruising but am surprised at how weak I feel after doing simple tasks with my arms! Folding a bit of laundry or curling my hair for example results in clammy weak feeling and I need to lay down a bit. I want this part over with.

The best surprise is that my knees and calves are nearly 2 inches smaller already! SO HAPPY! My lower ankle is a half inch smaller even with the swelling.

I have to say the pain isn't too bad.

With all my time to surf the internet I found a new little yorkie pup and we're picking her up tomorrow. She'll be a companion for our little guy (Bingley). More happiness!

Hey! How's your healing coming along? You're results look good so far. I also had my calves done...didn't get the results I wanted, so I'll probably get them done again.
