I started seeing real results between 3 to 6 months post-op

First off, I am going to be honest, I have had liposuction a few times prior to having this revision Liposuction/BBL with Dr. Zach. I am very happy that he took the honor of taking me as a patient. I know some doctors do not accept these kinds of cases. I did my surgery 5/2021. It was my first-time having surgery with Dr. Zach. I made the decision to go with him because to me it was more than just results. He made me comfortable in the consultation, responded thoroughly to all my questions, and also has great bedside manners. I think the patient-doctor relationship is very important. I think being honest, upfront, and realistic to my expectations was the deal sealer. The entire journey is important to me, and the energy has to be right. 

I have children, had a c-section, 5"4, and weighed 156lbs prior to surgery. My skin elasticity was still somewhat good and so I met the criteria for being a good candidate for another liposuction. Hence, the fact I had a lot of scar tissue under my skin due to the multiple liposuctions. My skin was still smooth with no contour defects aside from the fact my lower abdomen was flatter due to the previous liposuction and c-section. I did and still have mild abdominal diastasis due to my pregnancies. I am ok with that and understand in order to fix that I would need a tummy tuck, but I do not have a lot of excess skin. Therefore, another liposuction was still the best decision for me. 

The day of the surgery I arrived at 6am and was nervous. Although I have had surgery before, I couldn't help having mild anxiety. The doctor came in and reassured me everything was going to be ok. He took his time to mark me and explained the entire process all over again. My expectations were to have a small waist, and to fill my hip dips. I also had some fat underneath my lower buttocks that did not look ideal, and I wanted to have liposuctioned out. Dr. Zach explained that underneath the buttocks cannot be liposuctioned because it can cause the buttocks to drop and sag. He also explained the asymmetries that my body had in order to point out the real expectations. So, I understood prior to surgery that there were going to be differences between my left and right side, and I was ok with that. The entire staff was so nice to me! 

I was brought into the operating room and before I knew it, I woke up in recovery. I woke up with discomfort but not in excruciating pain like some of my friends have experienced with other doctor's. The nurse was so sweet to me. The doctor explained he had gone beyond what we had discussed. He fixed the contour issue in my abdomen by adding fat to my lower abdomen as well. I was not expecting that! He filled my hip dips as much as possible and he did vaser to the lower part of my buttocks. 

I had a great recovery! I barely took any pain medications. I felt discomfort as far as abdominal tightness, and sensitive skin. I went back to work in 3 days and the discomfort was manageable. I did a total of 12 massages, and 2 sessions of radiofrequency. I wore my garment for a month and a half with my boards daily. I started seeing real results between 3 to 6 months post-op. I love my results! On top of that I have lost 15 lbs since my surgery and I look phenomenal. Thank you so much Dr. Zach and thank you so much PH1 Miami for such a great experience!
