Painful but Worth It

JJAG
Ive been told the dr. extracts as much fat as he can and that he is a perfectionist which is good but it explains why you are in so much pain post surgery. This is the only reason why ive given 4 stars because of the pain ive been through other than that the dr. his staff and the results have been 5 *+
The drainage massages at first are extremly painful, I honestly felt i was living a nightmare everytime I had a massage and wanted to run away but roughly 4 massages later the pain decreased drastically. I’ve read reviews saying the dr.’s Massage lady - Jennifer is terrible and I see what they mean because you do experience a lot of pain but in fact she knows exactly what she is doing and is following the dr’s directions so what she is doing is actually so benedicial for you in the long run. My friend chose another dr. and masseus, 10 massages later she is still draining more liquid than I am and is showing signs of fibrosis, when you ask her about her massage she would say it wasnt very painful and that her massage lady wasnt very strong. I would strongly advise you hang in there and go through the first extremly painful massages to reap the benefits later. Plus she’s such a lovely girl I highly recommend Jennifer.
I have not felt any pain with my boobs, the lipo pain has taken over but in general i am very satisfied with my results and am just hoping to finish my drainge soon and recover promptly.

Hi! Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us.. do you happen to know how much the doctor charges on average for liposuction?

Hey! .. I know in Colombian Pesos it was around 11million COP for Lipo. It is more than your average, but he does take longer in surgery as well so for example a lipo could take 3 hrs but he’ll spend 5 because he takes his time etc
