Hey all! I posted this same post in the Forum a few weeks ago before realizing all the posting action happens here, in the reviews. :) Since then, I also posted my question to the "Ask a Doctor" section and had great feedback. Definitely making me more convinced with my decision to look into lipo of my hips/flanks and back. I had a full tummy tuck with a bit of flank lipo about 6 years ago. Despite healthy eating and exercise (I've worked out more in the last year than I have my whole life), I'm tired of looking like a square! I'm planning on a consultation after the first of the year and hopefully getting it done shortly thereafter. I'd love to hear your feedback, especially from anyone who may be similar to me who has had just flank/love handle and maybe some back/bra roll for blending in...no abs. Looking at my photos makes me really want to go for it, but I'm still apprehensive about results. Thanks for any input!

I am 3 weeks post lipo if the abdomen and flanks. I still have swelling but can tell my tummy is flatter. I can't really tell with the flanks yet.

I think you should go for it. I had lipo about 14 months ago and love that I don't have those love handles that bulged over the top of my jeans. It really would make a big difference in your shape. Just make sure you have a REALLY good ps.

Thank you! I'm really excited to get rid of it!

The one thing you need to discuss with the doctor is the elasticity of your skin at age 46. Make sure that a skin tightening laser or something similar is used when you get the lipo. It will help so much with how your figure looks post surgery. Good luck!

Thank you! I have the ultimate trust in my PS and know she will give my the best results possible based on what she is working with. I will learn the details when I go for my consultation. I believe my skin is in really good shape, but she's the expert. I'll post an update after my consultation.

You are lucky. I'm also 46 and have a lot of sun damage on the tops of my thighs. I had lipo six weeks ago and love love the results, but feel like I need some skin tightening (ugh!!) I keep looking at all the work Demi Moore has had, she has done lots of lipo, laser, etc..... On her legs and I want to look like her!

So encouraging to hear you are pleased with your results. :). Sure, a bikini bid would be awesome, but I'll be 100% thrilled to have a smooth silhouette and a waist in clothes!

Yes I'm so happy I did it, wish I had done it ten years ago! I've lost like 3 pounds and many inches. All my pants are big now...... I'm like a solid 4 now! You'll be so excited!

I thought I'd be rid of them when I had my TT but I don't think she took much out at all and I still gain tree when I slack off with proper duet and exercise. I've been pretty consistent, though, and that area never improves to a satisfactory degree. It's been there as long as I can remember. Now I just hope going in for that soecucuc area, not combined with any other procedure, will give ne the result I'm looking for. Which areas did you have done?

I still gain there, not tree! Although I feel tree trunkish.

I'm 46 years old. My ps said i can expect significant weight loss. .. I'm stoked!

Hahaha, when I got to the word tree.....I was like is she drunk? Lol I had inner thigh, outer thigh and hips. 1500 cc came off, I wish more! (Ha ) but now I'm glad she didn't take more becasue I can see if they don't sculpt it just so and take took much fat out, it could turn out wierd looking. I also have less cellulite, because I think I have muscular legs, so the muscle can now show thru. I only went from 133 to 130, Im 5'6.

January 19th! I could have gotten in earlier, but wanted a specific time so my husband can go with me if he wants. I also found out that the $200 consultation fee is waived since I'm already a patient. Whoo Hoo!

After a closer look at my calendar, I realized I have some days off that will allow me any time of day to go in for a consultation. So, December 22 it is. What a wonderful Christmas gift this will be if I get the green light to proceed...I'm a ball of nerves right now. Excited and mortified at the same time.
