Lipo with fat transfer, 36 year old African American mom, breastfed 3 kids

So I had my fat transfer on 6/21/19, after researching for many years. I decided on Dr. William Seare because he had some great before and after pics on his website and Instagram. I also got a really great deal: they had a promo lotion for 4 areas of lip, with fat grafting for only $7000, so I had to jump on that. He only does awake anesthesia for all of his procedures. That’s part of why he’s able to keep his prices so low. I was initially excited about it, because I didn’t think I’d feel anything...boy was I wrong! He used a lot of numbing medication but I could still feel it. He said I had really fibrous fat so it made it more difficult to remove. It was very painful...and it was definitely more than just pressure. So far, I’m happy with the results. They look really good! I hope I’m able to retain a majority of the fat. He also included 5 free hyperbaric oxygen treatments that’s supposed to help with recovery/retention. Overall, I had a pretty good experience. I absolutely loved his staff. They made me feel very comfortable. The only negative is just I would’ve preferred to have been put to sleep lol.
