My advice… Pick an experienced board certified plastic surgeon. My results aren’t great and unfortunately I need a revision.
Pre-op: The office is a cattle call, you literally can’t find a seat. The nurses were pleasant enough and tried to be accommodating, but waiting over an hour for your appointment is frustrating. Once in with doc he upsold me several lipo areas. Some he didn’t even touch during the procedure. He definitely over promised what he could achieve.
Day of surgery: scheduled at 3:30pm, it was a long day with no food or water. The anesthesiologist was very odd and had no beside manner. I mentioned that needles make me nervous, she then told me to stare at her putting in my IV. She made me very uncomfortable right before a I was going to under. I was shaky by the time doc got to me at 4:30ish.
Day after: I was very sick from the meds and text the emergency number they gave me for help with never received a response. I vomited all night. Once I was doc in the morning he took me off the pain meds and I felt much better.
Post op: recovery was tough.I got a seroma and he decided not to numb the area and stab me with a huge needle to drain it. I went into a full blown panic attack. But he had me keep standing, feeling faint and sweating, to hurry to get the fluid out… because his waiting room was packed.
Unfortunately, I wish I would have chosen a board certified surgeon that I didn’t feel so rushed with.

I would also like to note that my lipo is uneven. Really disappointing after spending 12k.
really, I was gonna go to him and this is a major turn off omg
OMG, this is awful and I thought he was a great surgeon at least he treated you for the seroma because other dolls are going to Tj and having to get treated by themselves. Hope you are feeling better, sorry this happen to you.
Thank you! Yes, I'm disappointed by my results, but I'm glad he helped with my seroma, although he could have been more gentle. I hope you have great results and I'm here to answer any questions :)
Thx u I will inbox you

Feeling discouraged

This process is tough and I’m sadly not seeing the results I was hoping for.
I look the same and and the Lipo areas are rock hard right now. I’m still early in recovery so I’m praying that my bod transforms.

This is so disheartening you paid basically 3x the amount than if you had gone to Miami for this doctor to do an unsatisfactory job. Sorry love, have you communicated your disappointment? If so what was his response

Thank you for sharing! Your back looks smaller. Love it!
Thanks! I'm really happy with my Lipo so far. I'm disappointed in my bbl, results, but praying that it will look better as I heal.
I just had a bbl with another doc and I feel the same way but they tell me trust the process
