Calf Fat-transfer
I had my Surgery 11/2014 to transfer fat from my flanks to my calfs. I've always have had skinny legs, ankles and calfs. It took me a long time to save $10k but I had too in order to feel more confident about myself.
The communication went well with the receptionists. The facility was clean and well managed.
Day 1:
The day of the operation I was nervous but excited to see fuller legs. On my first day of operation I went in and out. I had to stay a few minutes longer due to me not being able to move legs on my own. Do not get me wrong I did feel my legs I just felt like I had two giant bricks attached to them. They felt sooooooooooooo heavy that my focus was so much on my calfs that I didn't even feel or think about the liposuction on my sides.
My friend and I took a ride from the clinic to New Jersey so that she can take care of me. I was able to move a lot more once we arrived but I was struggling because I still felt them heavy.
I know I had to walk to have blood flow in my legs. I was just mostly sliding vs walking. I didn't have much pain it was mainly a tightness to my calfs.
I also had my friend change my gauze from the liquid/blood that was coming out from my incisions. Towards the night my abs and sides did hurt but that's because the anesthesia was wearing off.
Day two:
I felt so much better that I went and took a cab in NYC and shopped and walked for a few hours to ensure I didn't get any blood-clots. Do not get me wrong I still couldn't walk as fast as other people or as my usual self for that matter. I also experience lot of itchiness on my flanks due to the Lipo.
Day three:
I flew back home to Chicago with my friend and I was so glad she came with me because there was no way in hell I could have carried my carry-on, on and off the cabin bin. It was difficult to lift anything heavy because of the Lipo. The itchiness still continued about a week or two.
Over all I would do this surgery again...As a matter of fact I went 11 months later October 2015 to do a follow-up fill I believe it cost me $2k. I was glad I went because I felt like it left them fuller.
The "After" picture above is from my second round going to the doctor, so I was definitely smaller than that. The second time I went was not as nearly as painful as the first time because they had my fat frozen so I just went in for the injection.
If I could go back I wish I could have told him to do my boobs as well.
